Xiaomi G Pro 27i: The new esports champion 

Made for Esports, Perfect for Everything Else 

As esports grows every year the demand for better and better hardware grows with it, especially in the endpoint of all setups: the monitor. As every pixel on competitive displays could make the difference between winning or losing millions of dollars, hardware manufacturers have to raise the bar to make something that top-level competitors want to use.  

Even for those not in the esports realm (we see you tryhards at home playing competitively in your free time), this trend still has massive benefits for the worlds of casual gaming, content creation and even professional work. The tech that is used in esports eventually comes to everyday products and, as time goes on, pricing on these advanced features also becomes more reasonable.  

Premium Performance, Accessible Price 

The Xiaomi G Pro 27i is maybe the best example of this. Available in South Africa now with a RRP of just R9 999, the kind of things this monitor can do was once locked behind speciality hardware costing a lot more.  

Next-Gen Panel Technology 

The secret sauce of this monitor is the panel, which Xiaomi has packed with everything you could want for just about every application. It’s a 27-inch, 1440p (2560 X 1440) screen with a refresh rate of 180Hz. That’s already an almost perfect combination for both work and play, especially as 1440p still remains exponentially easier to drive for PC hardware compared to 4K, even at high refresh rates like you have access to here, but it gets better with a one millisecond response time and the tear reduction magic of FreeSync.  

Mini LED: The Star of the Show 

But it’s the tech that Xiaomi chose here which really makes the difference, and that tech is the IPS Mini LED array that creates the picture here. If you’ve never seen an IPS Mini LED panel in person before, you can expect higher brightness (up to 1000 nits here with HDR), noticeably better contrast (1 000 000:1), deeper blacks with more than a thousand individual dimming zones and, the real winner, unbelievable colours – the same stunning technology that powers the Xiaomi S 65″ Mini LED 4K Smart TV. 

Colour Accuracy Like No Other 

The Xiaomi G Pro 27 can replicate, and we need you to sit down for this, 1.07 billion professional colours. That‘s 100 percent of the sRGB range, 99 percent of the DCI-P3 range and 97 percent of the Adobe RGB range. This makes this monitor not only perfect for professional productivity, which requires perfect colour reproduction, but also the edge you may never know you needed. Think about multiplayer titles which allow custom player skins and the almost endless variants of green that players can choose for their camo. On other screens, all this green could look the same, but on the Xiaomi G Pro 27, you can tell them apart from the bushes those players are hiding in. 

The fine control over colour, brightness and dimming also means that you maintain that clarity between colours in dark scenes so you remain consistent while fighting – or working – in the dark. If you’ve only ever experienced lesser technologies like regular IPS displays or VA, you owe it to yourself to at least see a monitor like the Xiaomi G Pro 27 in person. The other monitor options on the market simply compete, and Xiaomi is offering you the best of the best.  

Design and Build: Stylish and Practical 

While the panel is the star of the show, Xiaomi has wrapped it in a beautiful chassis that also has its own tricks. The shell is an awesome blend of black and white, complimented with the colour of your choice by way of RGB ambient lighting, thanks to a discrete but powerful ring light around the back.  

Near this light is also where you will find the versatile mount with horizontal rotation, forwards / backwards tilt, vertical adjustment and the ability to turn things on their heads in the form of a full portrait mode. This fine control over positioning, combined with the wide 178-degree viewing angle, means that you can sit this monitor anywhere you like while maintaining optimal sights on the prize.  

Explore more of the body to find a super narrow bezel on three sides (perfect for those who want to use multiple monitors), convenient joystick menu navigation and a large array of ports, including two DPI 1.4, two HDMI 2.0 and even an audio jack.
