Xiaomi is making a calculated entry into the Philippine gaming monitor market with the Xiaomi G24i 2026 and G27i 2026, two displays that challenge the traditional trade-off between esports performance and color accuracy. Priced at ₱6,499 and ₱7,699 respectively, these monitors promise to deliver both 200Hz gaming responsiveness and creator-level color precision in sleek designs that adapt to multiple use cases.
Technical Foundation: Fast IPS Excellence
Both monitors build on Fast IPS panel technology, a display type that traditionally offered better color reproduction than TN panels while approaching their speed capabilities. The 200Hz refresh rate combined with 1ms gray-to-gray response times positions these displays squarely in competitive gaming territory, matching specifications found in monitors costing significantly more.
Fast IPS technology represents a sweet spot for users who refuse to compromise between speed and visual quality—addressing the longtime complaint that gaming monitors sacrifice color accuracy for performance, while creator-focused displays lag behind in responsiveness.
Dual-Purpose Color Performance
The standout feature lies in Xiaomi’s attention to color accuracy alongside gaming performance. 100% sRGB coverage ensures compatibility with standard web and gaming content, while 95% DCI-P3 coverage extends into professional video editing territory where wider color gamuts become crucial.
Delta E < 2 accuracy represents genuinely professional-grade color reproduction—a specification typically reserved for dedicated creator monitors. This level of precision means colors displayed on screen match intended colors with minimal variance, crucial for design work, photo editing, and video production.
For context, many gaming monitors sacrifice color accuracy for speed, while most creator monitors prioritize precision over responsiveness. Xiaomi’s approach suggests these displays can genuinely serve both audiences without significant compromise.
HDR and Visual Enhancement
VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification provides entry-level HDR support, offering richer contrast and brighter highlights compared to standard SDR displays. While not matching premium HDR600 or HDR1000 standards, HDR400 represents meaningful visual improvement for gaming and media consumption at this price point.
Tear-Free Gaming
AMD FreeSync Premium support addresses one of competitive gaming’s most frustrating issues—screen tearing and stuttering. By synchronizing monitor refresh rates with GPU output, FreeSync eliminates visual artifacts that can affect gameplay precision and immersion.
The “Premium” designation indicates support for low framerate compensation (LFC), ensuring smooth experience even when frame rates drop below the monitor’s variable refresh range—particularly valuable for demanding games or older hardware.
Health and Comfort Considerations
TÜV Low Blue Light certification addresses the health concerns of extended screen time, crucial for both gamers and professionals spending hours in front of displays. This independent certification ensures blue light reduction doesn’t significantly compromise color accuracy—a balance many manufacturers struggle to achieve.
The tilt adjustment range (-5° to 15°) and VESA 75×75mm mount compatibility provide ergonomic flexibility essential for comfortable long-term use across different setups and user heights.
Design Philosophy: Minimalist Versatility
The three-sided borderless design reflects modern preferences for clean aesthetics that work across gaming, professional, and home environments. Unlike aggressively styled gaming monitors with RGB lighting and angular designs, Xiaomi has opted for versatility that doesn’t scream “gaming setup” when used in professional contexts.
This design approach targets the growing number of users whose spaces serve multiple purposes—gaming at night, work during the day, study sessions, and media consumption. The monitors need to look appropriate regardless of context.
Size Options
Xiaomi G24i (24-inch): Competitive Gaming Focus
The Xiaomi G24i’s 24-inch Full HD format represents the traditional esports standard, where pixel density remains high while system requirements stay manageable. Most professional esports players still prefer 24-inch displays for competitive advantages in peripheral vision and pixel clarity.
At ₱6,499 (₱6,299 on Shopee), the G24i undercuts established gaming monitor brands by significant margins while matching or exceeding their specifications.
Xiaomi G27i (27-inch): Immersive Versatility
The 27-inch option caters to users prioritizing screen real estate for multitasking, immersive single-player gaming, and creative work where larger canvases provide productivity benefits.
₱7,699 (₱7,314 on Shopee) represents exceptional value for a 27-inch display with these specifications, typically found in monitors costing ₱10,000+ from established brands.
Connectivity and Practicality
The connection options—DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0, audio-out, and DC-in—cover essential use cases without overwhelming users with unnecessary ports. DisplayPort 1.4 ensures full 200Hz compatibility, while HDMI 2.0 provides console gaming support, though limited to 120Hz for newer consoles.
The inclusion of stand, base, HDMI cable, power adapter, and tool kit eliminates additional purchases needed to start using the monitor immediately—a consideration often overlooked in value calculations.
Bottom Line
The Xiaomi G24i and G27i represent more than incremental improvements in budget gaming monitors—they’re strategic market disruption that brings previously incompatible features together at prices that challenge established brands. Success will depend on build quality and long-term reliability, but the specifications and pricing suggest serious intent to reshape monitor market expectations.
For users seeking displays that genuinely excel at both competitive gaming and creative work, these monitors offer compelling value that could eliminate compromise between performance and precision.
Available exclusively on Xiaomi’s official Shopee store from August 29 to September 9, with promotional pricing of ₱6,299 (G24i) and ₱7,314 (G27i).
The Xiaomi G24i 2026 (₱6,499) and G27i 2026 (₱7,699) launch in the Philippines with 200Hz refresh rates, Delta E < 2 color accuracy, and designs that work across gaming and professional environments.
