Xiaomi has officially expanded its monitor portfolio in Japan with the launch of two new 27-inch models – the Xiaomi Gaming Monitor G27Qi 2026 and the Xiaomi 2K Monitor A27Qi 2026. While both monitors feature a sharp 2560 × 1440 resolution panel, they are designed for very different audiences. One focuses on high-speed gaming performance, and the other is tailored for professionals who need color accuracy and reliability.
Both monitors will be available in Japan starting February 24, 2026, through Xiaomi Stores, the official mi.com website, Rakuten, Amazon Japan, and Xiaomi Japan’s TikTok Shop.
Let’s take a closer look at what each model offers.
The Xiaomi Gaming Monitor G27Qi 2026 is clearly aimed at gamers who demand smooth visuals and responsive performance. It features a 27-inch Fast IPS panel with a 2560 × 1440 (2K) resolution, striking a good balance between detail and performance.
One of the biggest highlights is its refresh rate of up to 200Hz, paired with a 1ms response time. This combination ensures fluid motion, reduced blur, and a competitive edge in fast-paced games such as FPS and racing titles.
The display delivers up to 400 nits of brightness with a 1000:1 contrast ratio. It also supports 1.07 billion colors, offering richer and more vibrant visuals. TÜV low blue light certification is included, which helps reduce eye strain during long gaming sessions.
In terms of design, the monitor measures 612.9 × 173 × 470.85 mm and weighs 4.2 kg. It supports tilt adjustment from −5° to 15°, allowing users to find a comfortable viewing angle. For those who prefer wall mounting or monitor arms, it supports VESA 75 × 75 mm mounting.
Connectivity is generous. The Gaming Monitor G27Qi 2026 includes:
The rated power consumption is 48W, which is reasonable for a high-refresh-rate 2K display.
The early promotional price in Japan is ¥25,980, making it an attractive option for gamers looking for 200Hz performance without moving to a more expensive premium tier.
The Xiaomi 2K Monitor A27Qi 2026 is targeted at creators, designers, and office professionals who prioritize color precision and clarity over extreme refresh rates.
It also features a 27-inch IPS panel with a 2560 × 1440 resolution, ensuring sharp text and detailed visuals. The brightness reaches 300 nits, and the contrast ratio is slightly higher at 1300:1, which helps produce deeper blacks and better overall image depth.
One standout feature is factory calibration with ΔE<1. This means each unit is carefully tuned to ensure highly accurate color reproduction right out of the box. For professionals working with photos, videos, or graphics, this level of accuracy is extremely valuable.
The monitor supports 1.07 billion colors and offers multi-device color consistency across Xiaomi products, ensuring a more uniform viewing experience when used alongside other Xiaomi displays or devices.
While it is not built for competitive gaming, it still offers a respectable refresh rate of up to 120Hz, which makes scrolling, animations, and casual gaming feel smoother than traditional 60Hz monitors.
The A27Qi measures 621.9 × 169.8 × 476.7 mm and weighs 3.9 kg, making it slightly lighter than the gaming model. In terms of ports, it includes:
The rated power consumption is lower at 36W, aligning with its productivity-focused design.
The Xiaomi 2K Monitor A27Qi 2026 is priced at ¥19,980 in Japan, positioning it as an affordable yet professional-grade 2K monitor.
Both the Xiaomi Gaming Monitor G27Qi 2026 and the Xiaomi 2K Monitor A27Qi 2026 will go on sale in Japan starting February 24, 2026. Buyers can purchase them through:
This wide availability ensures easy access for both gamers and professionals across the country.
With these two new 27-inch 2K monitors, Xiaomi is clearly addressing two distinct user groups. The Gaming Monitor G27Qi 2026 focuses on speed, responsiveness, and immersive performance with its 200Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time. On the other hand, the 2K Monitor A27Qi 2026 emphasizes color accuracy, consistency, and power efficiency, making it ideal for creative and professional work.
At ¥25,980 for the gaming model and ¥19,980 for the professional variant, Xiaomi has positioned both monitors competitively in the Japanese market. Whether you are chasing high frame rates in esports titles or working on color-sensitive creative projects, Xiaomi’s new 2026 lineup offers a compelling option in the 2K segment.
