Xiaomi has rolled out its G Pro 27Qi (2026) gaming monitor internationally, starting with Australia, bringing a budget-friendly Mini LED powerhouse to e-sports fans and creators. This 27-inch Fast IPS panel packs 1152 dimming zones for VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification, hitting 2000 nits peak brightness and Delta E <1 color accuracy—making it a steal for 1440p 180Hz gaming with AMD FreeSync support. Compared to the G Pro 27i (half the brightness), this 2026 model ups the ante with scene recognition for dynamic dimming (three levels or off) and wide gamut coverage: 100% sRGB, 99% DCI-P3/Adobe RGB. For PC gamers, it’s a solid mid-range pick blending high refresh with creator-grade colors, though no US listing yet—closest is the dimmer G Pro 27i.
Standout Features for Gaming and Creation
- Panel and Performance: 2560×1440 Fast IPS with 1ms GTG response, 180Hz refresh, and AMD FreeSync for tear-free play. Mini LED backlight with 1152 zones delivers 1000:1 contrast and 2000 nits peak for stunning HDR.
- Color and Calibration: Factory calibrated to Delta E <1; 99% Adobe RGB/DCI-P3, 100% sRGB—ideal for photo/video editing alongside gaming.
- Design Perks: Height/tilt/swivel/portrait stand, flip-out headphone holder, RGB ring on back. Ports: 2x HDMI 2.0, 2x DP 1.4, 3.5mm audio jack.
Pricing and Availability: Affordable Entry to Mini LED
Listed on Xiaomi’s global store at AUD 499 (~USD 330) on sale (from AUD 699 ~USD 460), it’s a bargain for 1152-zone Mini LED—available now in Australia, with expansion expected. No US yet, but the similar G Pro 27i offers a glimpse at half brightness.
