The international Xiaomi website has posted cards for the new versions of the entry-level G24i and G27i gaming monitors. Models with the suffix 2026 in their names differ from their predecessors not only in design but also in one of their key hardware characteristics. The Xiaomi G27i (2026) is equipped with a 27-inch IPS  In Plane Switching (IPS) panels are an expensive option but they have excellent colour accuracy and far greater viewing angles then TN and VA panels (Not that we condone slouching while gaming). They are great for graphics design and photo editing. However, the only downside to IPS panels if that they can sometimes have a slower response time than TN panels. This is the only real problem if you’re a very competitive gamer or want to game in 3D. As of late “IPS” has become a big marketing word. Step into an Apple store and you would be hard pressed talking to someone that didn’t mention Apple’s “brand new IPS Displays!” In fact, Apple is probably one of the biggest marketers of this “new-found” technology. As a business person myself, this is when you have to tip your hat to Apple’s awesome marketing machine. Why? Well, because IPS is actually nothing new. In fact, this technology was originally invented in 1996 by Hitachi..matrix with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, HDRHDR stands for High Dynamic Range imaging, and it is an old photography practice recently introduced to cameraphones like the iPhone and some Android devices (or with the use of special apps). support, and a refresh rate of 200 Hz (compared to 180 Hz in the old model). The maximum brightness of the backlight is 400 cd/m², the response time is 1 ms (GtG), and the color gamut is 95% P3 (ΔE < 2). The new model supports VRR and AMD FreeSync Premium technologies, as well as a blue light filter function. The rear panel features HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, and an audio jack.The Xiaomi G24i 2026 model has similar specifications, but its screen diagonal is 23.8 inches. The manufacturer also claims that the matrices of both new models are factory calibrated. The launch date and retail prices of the monitors will be announced later. |
