Xiaomi, known for its value-driven electronics, has recently launched its G24i gaming monitor globally. First introduced in September, the G24i aims to provide a compelling gaming experience without breaking the bank.
The monitor features a 23.8-inch Full HD (1920×1080) IPS panel, offering clear visuals and wide viewing angles. While its 250 nits peak brightness is sufficient for typical indoor use, it may not be ideal for brightly lit environments. The inclusion of TÜV Low Blue Light certification helps reduce eye strain, a welcome feature for extended gaming sessions.
With a 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms GtG response time, the G24i prioritizes smooth and responsive gameplay. This combination delivers a noticeable reduction in motion blur and ghosting compared to standard 60Hz monitors. AMD FreeSync support further enhances fluidity by synchronizing the monitor’s refresh rate with compatible graphics cards, eliminating screen tearing.
Connectivity options are streamlined, with one DisplayPort and one HDMI port. This setup is sufficient for connecting a PC or gaming console but may limit users looking for extensive multi-monitor configurations.
The Xiaomi G24i is now available for purchase in Europe, the UK, and the US. Priced competitively at £89.99 in the UK, €119.99 in the Eurozone, and $129.99 in the US, it presents a compelling option for gamers seeking a budget-friendly monitor with a high refresh rate and fast response time. Whether it’s the best choice for you will depend on your specific needs and priorities.
