On the global Xiaomi website, an updated version of the affordable A27i monitor has appeared. The 2026 model boasts several enhancements compared to its predecessor. The Xiaomi A27i is equipped with a 27-inch Full HD IPS panel offering a 178-degree viewing angle and a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Key updates include an increased refresh rate of 144 Hz, up from the previous 100 Hz, peak brightness of 300 nits, an increased contrast ratio of 1500:1, and 99% sRGB color space coverage. The response time is 6 ms.
The monitor features HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 ports, VESA 75×75 mm mount, a slim body, and narrow bezels on three sides. It also holds TUV certification for reduced blue light emission, a feature that enhances comfort during prolonged use and is increasingly demanded by consumers concerned about eye strain.
Although specific price details and availability have yet to be disclosed, expectations suggest a competitive pricing strategy to rival similar models from brands like Samsung and LG, especially given its premium features in the budget category.
Experts commend the higher refresh rate for providing smoother gameplay and video playback, which is likely to appeal to gamers and professionals alike. The TUV certification is particularly noteworthy as it aligns with broader industry trends towards health and sustainability, potentially influencing consumer decisions positively.
