Xiaomi has expanded its Xiaomi 2K Gaming Monitor G27Qi 2026 into Japan, Spain and Malaysia after first launching it in Australia. The new model brings a 27-inch 2560 × 1440 Fast IPS panel with a 200Hz refresh rate to more regions at aggressive pricing. In Spain, it is listed at €199.99. In Japan, it is priced at JPY 32,980 with a temporary launch price of JPY 25,980. In Malaysia, it is listed at MYR 799 with a promotional drop to MYR 579.
This model sits above the Xiaomi Gaming Monitor G27i 2026, which uses a 1920 × 1080 resolution. At 27 inches, 1440p delivers much sharper image quality than 1080p. Text looks clearer, games show more detail, and users get more workspace on the desktop without the heavy performance load of 4K.
Below is a full specification summary based on Xiaomi’s official regional listings.
| Category | Specification |
|---|---|
| Panel Size | 27-inch Fast IPS |
| Resolution | 2560 × 1440 (WQHD) |
| Refresh Rate | Up to 200Hz |
| Response Time | 1ms GTG (lab measured) |
| Contrast Ratio | 1000:1 |
| Peak Brightness | 400 nits |
| HDR Support | HDR400 |
| Color Gamut | 100% sRGB, 95% DCI-P3 |
| Color Accuracy | ΔE < 2 (factory calibrated) |
| Color Depth | 8-bit + FRC (10-bit signal supported) |
| Viewing Angle | 178° |
| Adaptive Sync | FreeSync Premium |
| Ports | 2 × DisplayPort 1.4, 2 × HDMI 2.0 |
| Eye Care | TÜV Low Blue Light, DC dimming |
| Mounting | Tilt support, VESA compatible |
The monitor uses an 8-bit panel with FRC to simulate 10-bit color. This is common in this price range. It allows smoother color gradients for gaming and content viewing, but it is not the same as a true professional 10-bit panel used for high-end color work.
HDR support is rated at HDR400 with peak brightness up to 400 nits. This improves highlights and makes bright areas stand out more than standard displays. However, HDR400 does not include local dimming. Users should expect better brightness but not deep contrast like Mini-LED monitors.
Xiaomi states that brightness and response time figures were measured in internal lab tests. Actual performance may vary depending on settings, lighting conditions and signal source.
Connectivity is stronger than many monitors in this price range. The G27Qi includes two DisplayPort 1.4 ports and two HDMI 2.0 ports. Xiaomi includes a DisplayPort cable in the box and recommends using it to reach the full 200Hz at 1440p. HDMI 2.0 may limit refresh rate depending on settings and device output.
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles can run up to 1440p at 120Hz over HDMI 2.0. That means console players will not be able to use the full 200Hz refresh rate. The highest refresh mode is mainly designed for PC gamers using DisplayPort.
FreeSync Premium support helps reduce screen tearing and stutter. Many NVIDIA graphics cards also support adaptive sync over DisplayPort even without official branding.

Reaching 200 frames per second at 1440p requires a capable graphics card. Competitive games such as esports titles are more likely to reach high frame rates. Modern AAA games at high settings will need a strong mid-range or high-end GPU to approach 200Hz.
Eye comfort features include TÜV-certified low blue light technology and DC dimming. DC dimming reduces flicker when lowering brightness, which can help reduce eye strain during long gaming sessions.
The monitor also supports tilt adjustment and VESA wall mounting. The VESA bracket must be purchased separately. A three-sided narrow bezel design gives it a modern look, and a joystick control on the back makes it easy to adjust settings in the on-screen menu.
Below is a quick comparison between the G27Qi 2026 and the 1080p G27i 2026.
| Feature | G27i 2026 | G27Qi 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution | 1920 × 1080 | 2560 × 1440 |
| Refresh Rate | 200Hz | 200Hz |
| Color Gamut | Wide | 100% sRGB, 95% DCI-P3 |
| Ports | Fewer | 2 DP + 2 HDMI |
| Target User | Budget high refresh | Higher resolution gaming |
The G27Qi 2026 is designed for gamers who want smoother motion than 144Hz or 165Hz monitors while keeping pricing below premium 240Hz 1440p displays. It also fits users who want good color coverage for light creative work without paying for professional studio monitors.
There are still questions that only full reviews can answer, such as input lag measurements, motion tuning at different refresh rates and panel uniformity. However, based on confirmed specifications and launch pricing, Xiaomi has positioned the G27Qi 2026 as one of the most aggressively priced 1440p 200Hz IPS monitors expanding across Europe and Asia in 2026.
If promotional pricing continues in more regions, the Xiaomi 2K Gaming Monitor G27Qi 2026 could become a strong value option for PC gamers who want high refresh rates and sharper 1440p visuals without moving into expensive premium display tiers.
