Xiaomi sells a 240Hz gaming monitor for two and a half thousand. But it's not heading to Europe yet

Xiaomi has quietly launched international sales of the Gaming Monitor G25i 2026, which will primarily attract buyers with its price – in Japan, it costs 17,980 yen, which is approximately 2,400 CZK. And it still manages 240 Hz.

Speed you wouldn’t expect at this price point

The combination of 240 Hz and 1 ms response time means you won’t have to contend with blurry images in fast-paced shooters – motion remains clear even during rapid turns. The added support for AMD FreeSync Premium then addresses screen tearing when the frame rate fluctuates.

Where savings were made

However, compromises are evident. The resolution remains at 1,920 × 1,080 pixels, brightness stops at 400 nits, and DisplayHDR 400 certification is more theoretical – don’t expect a true HDR experience from it. Color coverage, on the other hand, is pleasantly surprising: 100 percent sRGB and 93 percent DCI-P3 are decent figures for an inexpensive gaming monitor.

An annoying detail is hidden in the packaging. Xiaomi includes a power adapter, a stand, and an HDMI 2.0 cable, but you won’t find a DisplayPort 1.4 cable or a 3.5mm jack in the box, even though the monitor has both connectors. If you want to utilize the full 240 Hz via DisplayPort, expect to purchase a cable separately.

To Europe, only indirectly for now

Officially, the monitor is only sold in Japan and Thailand, where it costs 4,990 baht (approximately 3,200 CZK). European availability is not confirmed, although one Finnish retailer previously offered it for approximately 180 euros – significantly more expensive than in Asia. This is unfortunately a common scenario, and by the time the model potentially appears here, the price advantage could significantly shrink.

Would you take a 240Hz monitor with Full HD resolution, or would you rather pay extra for higher details?
