2. The monitor covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color space and 100% of the sRGB color space.
3. It features a peak brightness of 300 nits, which does not support HDR, but has a 33% improved contrast ratio of 1,300:1.
4. The refresh rate is now faster at 120 Hz for 1440p resolution, an increase of 25% from the previous model.
5. The monitor includes wall mounts, an adjustable stand, and ports like DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0, with a global launch expected.
Xiaomi has made a subtle update to its 2K Monitor A27Qi after it unveiled a 2025 version in the spring (currently priced at $184 on Amazon). To summarize, the initial 2K Monitor A27Qi launched in Europe in April and features a 27-inch IPS display that combines a resolution of 1440p with a refresh rate of 100 Hz. While the updated 2K Monitor A27Qi keeps the 1440p resolution and a 6 ms GtG response time, it does improve upon its predecessor in several ways.
Enhanced Color Accuracy
Firstly, Xiaomi asserts that the latest monitor is more color accurate than the ΔE<2 of the previous model. The company promotes the 2K Monitor A27Qi 2026 as achieving ΔE<1, which they claim is a level of color accuracy suitable for professionals. Given that the monitor covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color space, it seems likely that the 2K Monitor A27Qi 2026 reaches this level of accuracy by aligning closely with the sRGB color space, which it reportedly covers at 100%.
Improved Specifications
However, the 2K Monitor A27Qi 2026 only reaches a peak brightness of 300 nits, ruling out HDR support. Despite this limitation, it boasts a 33% improved contrast ratio, now at 1,300:1, and a 25% faster refresh rate that now supports 120 Hz visuals at 1440p resolution. Additionally, the monitor comes equipped with wall mounts measuring 75 x 75 mm and an adjustable stand, alongside DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 ports. Xiaomi has yet to announce specific pricing, but the 2K Monitor A27Qi 2026 is expected to launch globally, as evidenced by its appearance on the company’s international website.
