The first thing that stands out about the Xiaomi G27i gaming monitor is how cheap it is. You’re only being asked to part with £/$110 for a 27-inch, 165Hz IPS screen, which undercuts the cheapest competition by around £/$30 or 40. As it’s from a brand primarily known for its smartphones and earbuds, you’re bound to wonder: is it any good?
Well, yes, actually it is. That you can get a screen of this quality for so little money is a remarkable achievement. It may be barebones in places, but it’s got it where it counts. The best budget monitor category in our list of the best monitors for graphic artists may well fall to this one.
