Xiaomi has officially expanded its gaming monitor portfolio with the Mini LED G Pro 27Qi 2026, now launching in global markets. The new display targets competitive gamers, creators, and power users who want high refresh rates, precise colour output, and true HDR performance—without stepping into ultra-premium pricing territory.
This isn’t a minor refresh. Xiaomi is pushing display tech that usually lives in much higher price brackets, especially with Mini LED backlighting and a very high local dimming count. Here’s a clean breakdown of what the new G Pro 27Qi brings and why it matters.
Core Display Hardware
- 27-inch Fast IPS panel with 2K (2560×1440) resolution
- High 180Hz refresh rate for smooth competitive gameplay
- Peak brightness rated up to 2000 nits
- 1ms GTG response time focused on fast-paced titles
- Slim-bezel design for multi-monitor setups
This combination makes the monitor suitable for both esports-style gaming and visually demanding single-player titles.
Mini LED Backlighting Details
- Mini LED backlight system with 1152 local dimming zones
- Far better contrast control compared to edge-lit or standard IPS panels
- Improved black levels and reduced haloing in dark scenes
- Enables true HDR performance rather than simulated HDR
Local dimming at this scale is still rare in the 27-inch gaming segment, giving Xiaomi a technical edge here.
HDR and Colour Accuracy
- VESA HDR1000 certification
- QD wide colour gamut implementation
- Colour coverage ratings:
- 100% sRGB
- 99% DCI-P3
- 99% Adobe RGB
- 10-bit panel supporting 1.07 billion colours
- Factory calibration with Delta E below 1
This level of colour accuracy makes the monitor viable not just for gaming, but also for photo editing, video grading, and design work.
Gaming Features That Actually Matter
- Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support
- AMD FreeSync compatibility
- Reduced screen tearing and stutter across supported GPUs
- Stable performance at high refresh rates
These features ensure smoother frame pacing without requiring manual tweaking.
Design and Usability Touches
- Ultra-thin bezels on all sides
- Retractable headphone holder built into the chassis
- Subtle rear ambient backlighting for desk aesthetics
- Clean industrial design that fits gaming and professional setups
Xiaomi is clearly focusing on desk ergonomics, not just raw specs.
Connectivity Options
- 2× HDMI 2.0 ports
- 2× DisplayPort 1.4 ports
- DC power input
- Standard audio jack
The port selection allows easy switching between PCs, consoles, and work devices.
Power and Efficiency
- Rated power consumption: 65W
- Efficient given the brightness levels and Mini LED system
- Suitable for long gaming or work sessions without excessive heat output
Global Pricing
- Standard retail price: 699 AUD (approx. ₹44,647)
- Introductory offer price: 499 AUD (approx. ₹31,873)
At the launch price, the G Pro 27Qi undercuts many competing Mini LED monitors with similar specs.
Why this monitor matters
- Mini LED + 1152 zones is rare at this size and price
- Delivers true HDR gaming, not just spec-sheet HDR
- Strong choice for gamers who also create content
- Competitive pricing lowers the entry barrier to premium display tech
Xiaomi is clearly aiming to disrupt the mid-to-high-end gaming monitor market with this release.
