Xiaomi brought a 180Hz Mini LED monitor to the Czech Republic. For 7 thousand, it offers great features

Mini LED backlighting with a higher number of dimming zones has long remained in higher price ranges, so cheaper displays had to settle for ordinary IPS and poor contrast. Xiaomi is trying to break this perceived dogma. When we informed you at the beginning of December about the global launch of the G Pro 27Qi model, we did not yet know the Czech price or availability date. However, the monitor is now available for 6,999 CZK.

Mini LED with 1,152 zones is the main attraction

At the heart of the monitor is a 27″ Fast IPS panel with a resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels, which Xiaomi complemented with Mini LED backlighting featuring 1,152 local dimming zones. This is an unusually high number for a price tag under 7 thousand. According to the manufacturer, the backlighting is controlled by the LocalDimming algorithm along with AI-powered scene recognition, so the monitor adjusts the brightness of individual parts of the image. The result should be deep blacks and prominent bright areas in the same shot.

Xiaomi states a peak brightness of 2,000 nits and HDR1000 certification, with the panel reportedly handling black levels down to 0.0001 nits. Both figures come from the manufacturer’s internal laboratory and were measured under ideal conditions, so normal operation may differ. The IPS panel itself has a static contrast of 1000:1, so the Mini LED is responsible for image depth. Four backlighting modes are available, from full power to complete local dimming shutdown.

Colors with factory calibration

The monitor also targets creatives. It covers 100% of the sRGB, 99% DCI-P3, and 99% Adobe RGB color spaces, and thanks to its 10-bit depth (8-bit + FRC technology), it displays 1.07 billion colors. Each unit undergoes factory calibration with a declared accuracy of ΔE < 1, and a calibration report is included in the package. For this price, it’s a decent offer for photo or video editing, even though the 10 bits here are achieved through interpolation, not natively.

Gaming features: 180 Hz and 1 ms response time

For gamers, Xiaomi has prepared a 180Hz refresh rate and a 1 ms GTG response time, which the panel, however, only achieves with Overdrive enabled. Fast IPS offers 178° viewing angles, so the image remains legible even from the side. VRR and FreeSync help prevent screen tearing. Noteworthy gaming features include an on-screen crosshair and a function that brightens dark areas to reveal opponents in the shadows. Hardware-level blue light reduction with TÜV certification is designed to protect eyes during extended gaming sessions.

Design and ergonomics

In terms of appearance, Xiaomi opted for narrow bezels on three sides, a hexagonal base, and rear RGB backlighting. Practical features include a retractable headphone holder and joystick control instead of traditional buttons. The stand offers height adjustment within a range of 120 mm, tilt of 5° forward and 21° backward, swivel of 35° to each side, and pivot up to 92°. If you don’t need the stand, you can mount the monitor on the wall using a 75 × 75 mm VESA mount. With the stand, it weighs 6 kg.

Connectivity and parameters

Connectivity includes two DisplayPort 1.4 ports and two HDMI 2.0 ports, supplemented by a 3.5mm audio output and a DC IN power input. This allows you to connect both a gaming PC and a console simultaneously. Power consumption is 65 W, and the monitor falls into energy class F. In addition to the monitor and stand, the package includes a power adapter, DisplayPort cable, connector cover, screw set, manual, and the aforementioned calibration report.
