Most of us would pass over a monitor retailing at £300, preferring either something cheaper to save cash (perhaps the Xiaomi G27i) or more expensive to gain features. This screen from Chinese firm Xiaomi, however, is a bit of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It packs a mini-LED backlight, a technology that forms a bridge between the per-pixel lighting of OLED and the fullscreen backlighting of other LCD tech. As a result of this, you get a very bright and contrasty 1440p HDR screen which may be light on features, but provides excellent image quality, especially considering the price.
