I'm just glad this monitor exists. I wanted something at least comparable to my IPS MiniLED laptop screen in terms of brightness, response time, clarity and consistency, but the expensive high end monitors all still seem to have some caveats right now (especially OLED obviously) which made me not want to invest that much just yet. Cheap monitors of this class without major flaws are extremely hard to find. And where I live now in Indonesia, the AOC is hard to get and twice the price of the Xiaomi, so this monitor was really the only viable choice for me and I haven't been disappointed. This will do at least until there is a significant improvement in monitor tech again. I'm sure eventually we can have our cake and eat it too, i.e. something as good as OLED with clear text and no risk of burn in.

@@maximiusiv3741 I don't use NVIDIA RTX HDR because I'm on AMD graphics card. I personally like wide color gamut, that was partially the reason I bought it and not similarly priced competitor Titan Army 27A6MR. Anything else with miniLED is prohibitively expensive in my locale, that AOC monitor mentioned in this video is $500-550 compared to $280 I paid for Xiaomi. I like vibrant colors, they aren't burning my eyes or anything, after Native sRGB looks dull and pale for me. It is very subjective thing, some people will like it, some won't.

[@Neilyadre]

I own this monitor and i must say the local dimming makes a GIANT difference versus a classic IPS with greyish blacks and shit contrast. With LD on, in SDR or HDR content you can get a "close" OLED-like experience and deep blacks without the burn-in. It's a no-brainer, in fact it makes all the non mini led/OLED look like hot-garbage. Its only downside is the lack of way to update the firmware to fix some bugs like the red tint one which thankfully can be fixed in windows ( someone made a thread on reddit ).

[@KenTWOu]

Mini LED monitors with IPS panels don't have greyish blacks issue when diming zones/HDR is enabled. I was very concerned over that, because of my love of horror games, but have to bought a mini LED IPS monitor instead of mini LED with VA panel, because of price difference/the lack of availability of the latter one, and it really managed to impress me. Playing Alien: Isolation with HDR enabled through Special K was a blast, and that's a horror game with lots of very dark and pitch black areas. The overall picture quality was better than on my previous PVA SDR monitor.

[@Carlos-wl5fn]

on v1.0.0.7 I do have the red tint bug but I am using native to avoid it as I am only gaming, no color work. So only thing I don't like is the desktop with Local Dimming which I resolve by using windows in HDR and adjusting the brightness or turning it OFF or on LOW I love this monitor since I am mostly Single Player gamer, and it even works for some Multiplayer rounds.

[@Usersf134ssk]

As someone who upgraded from HP X27q to this, I was blown away by the massive difference in picture quality, black levels and contrast. I did notice the pinkish red tint but a bit of tweaking inside the Adrenalin custom color and I'm good with it. Got it for 320USD which is the only MiniLED monitor in the market here in my country. I dont want to fork out 400bucks for a monitor as I now barely find time to play games but when I do, I truly enjoy the excellent picture quality so I am glad this existed.

Thanks for finally covering this. I've been very interested in this monitor since I wanted a Mini LED monitor but also an IPS panel for my creative work (just a strong preference) so I wanted a monitor that could basically do creative work + HDR media consumption + casual AAA gaming all in one. The red tint, white balance and the inability to update the firmware sounds very disappointing. Seems like I might just have to wait until another company tries their hand at a Mini LED IPS within this price range. (I heard AOC had something like that recently released in China called the Q27G4XM but there's very little info about it online.)

[@shola23]

In the UK, the Xiaomi is a fair bit cheaper than the AOC one. I got it for £225 with a discount code (available to anyone) directly from the Xiaomi website. The AOC mini led usually seems to be around £280-ish from Currys/Amazon but barely ever seems to be in stock and I've not personally seen it on sale yet. I'm happy with the Xiaomi considering the price I paid, I do agree not including the option to update the firmware is bad though, and the local dimming not being tied to the mode you're using is a bit annoying but not a deal breaker.

[@SapiaNt0mata]

that's cause you got it with a discount coupon. without discount, the monitor costs the same as AOC G27G3XMN = £300. if you got the AOC with a discount coupon at £225 you'd say the same thing.

[@shola23]

@SapiaNt0mata alright man, my point was more that it has greater availability/more frequent sales (this was a discount coupon that was promoted on their website and available to anyone), whereas the AOC in my experience never seems to go on sale (much more difficult to get a coupon for Currys).

You were lucky to get this Xiaomi for 225 but It's not possible any more.

[@GeneC]

Having getting this G Pro 27i for the equivalent of $290, I feel it offers a pretty decent option for what it is, while AOC doesn't officially carry the 27G3XMN here which sucks. I do agree with the local dimming inconvenience, and generally leave it off, unless I'm gaming or going to consume HDR content. The Monitor also can be seem dim at times, esp besides my productivity IPS screen beside it. But one of the main points about getting this monitor was for the HDR capability, and to my untrained eye, its pretty damn good. Maybe not OLED great, but good enough for around 1/3rd of the price of entry to OLED monitors over here. That being said, I do wonder how does the newish AOC Q27G4XM which is their QD IPS Mini LED model with similar specs in terms of refresh rate, dimming zones, colour coverage and so on (from what I can tell). The monitor I'd received a week ago, shipped with Firmware 1.0.07 as well. Wished they'd offered some way for updating the firmware

[@-eMpTy-]

Could you look at Nvidias "GPU scaling" vs. "Display scaling" for latency? This has always been a big topic within the esport space but seemingly no one did proper testing on it yet. Edit: To clarify, the common consensus seems to be that it matters how good the integrated scaler of the monitor is. It would be interesting to have some data for at least a few models of the prevalent high refresh rate/esport focused brands like Zowie and Asus.

Great review! I have this monitor and some things I'd mention is that: - The mini led backlight color is colder the brighter it gets, so any bright highlight will have a blueish bloom around it - Zone transition is rough, most noticeable when using the middle mouse scroll on browser. Makes content look laggier than it should have Other than that, I still like this monitor as a gateway drug to HDR. In my country, its about 300 usd, so it has a great price point!

Thank you Tim and the Hardware Unboxed patreon supporters for making this review possible. In my country, this is the cheapest miniLED monitor, as the AOC Q27G3XMN is not available officially and is massively overpriced to decently premium OLED monitor prices, so it makes it one of the better value. The only competition to this monitor for me is the Asus ROG Strix XG27ACS, which is cheaper and comes down whether I really want a miniLED or not. I do agree that lowering the price will really help the competitiveness and value-proposition of the Xiaomi miniLED. Thanks for the informative review as always.

[@artekchanel9358]

As this monitor is more popular in Russia. I've read about one fix for the red tint. It is supposed to be a firmware bug. You should turn on and off energy saving mode every time monitor is turned on and also when you change color space settings. Can't check it myself, but that should work. P. S. here in Russia this monitor costs 280-300$.

I reached the conclusion that for those of us that can't or don't want to go OLED for one reason or another e.g. burn-in concerns or text rendering issues it's best not to bother with HDR. Even HDR in itself has issues with Windows support being finnicky and annoying so adding blooming, response times concerns, flickering, zone transition artifacts and having to turn HDR on and off due to it not being a seamless solution is not something I want inflict upon myself.

Yeah, I've got the Neo G7 which is about as good as you can currently get for HDR (outside of OLED). I got it for the HDR functionality but I end up almost never using it because it's a annoying to enable, disable, and it messes with DSC and screws up my VR configuration. Thankfully even SDR content looks great with the high contrast panel + zones, and the 4k is a lot sharper than my previous 1440p monitor. if not it would have been a total waste of money.

Great video as always! By any chance your going to review the Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SD)? Its $600 rn and I'm thinking of getting it but I watch your reviews before I get a new monitor so I don't have buyers remorse later.

[@JVlapleSlain]

I managed to get this for 270USD, absolutely monster display for the price

[@078gregory]

Any plans to review PHILIPS Evnia 32M2N6800M? It is also an IPS MiniLed. Looks very good monitor. Kudos for great review!

[@Daffamalik143]

for me that is a cons, coz it's a curved monitor

[@078gregory]

@@Daffamalik143 it is a flat monitor.

[@Daffamalik143]

@078gregory I see, I think I mistook it for other evnia mini led type

[@tildeathgaming9510]

Great review, Myser! Could you test this on The Witcher 3?

[@whophd]

Damn, I thought that t-shirt cube was a superimposed graphic

[@ZachLDB]

Now we need some other Chinese brands to compare like Reddragon, Titan Army, and Thunder robot!

[@EditioCastigata]

PC monitors need eARC for sound bars and AV receivers. Please consider adding that to your feature checklist. 🙂

[@dOoMnX]

PCs have audio outputs since the dawn of time.

[@DrRippenShitten]

does the ICC profile fix the colour issues for SDR and HDR?

[@oimazzo2537]

I was kind of waiting for it

[@muhammadsyafanurikhsan3969]

My monitor i buy this at the price of 4.000.000 rupiah which is like low 200 dollar,love it.

[@max-lee]

finally. its pretty affordable here in my country but the only available review was in chinese.

[@kurdzan8568]

Thanks for the detailed informations, but it would be a huge help if you could share ICS color profile for those who don't have a colorimeter.

[@Jasondawinner05]

Can you cover some of the new dp2.1 monitors?

[@SWJohnny4all]

I want to buy this monitor for HDR use but I am afraid of the extra input lag the local dimming adds. The input lag feels the same as high frametimes in games? Does a keyboard or mouse command seem to be displayed on the monitor with delay? I want the most responsive experience even in singleplayer games.

[@sssfadfsdafefedvsa]

I want to share here, I got firmware 1.0.0.7 manufacture 07/24 no red tint bug, Its the best monitor and only miniled in my country for this price range, Only problem that annoys me is response time lock to standard in hdr mode

[@maxsmnv]

Hi! Is it comfortable for eyes (it's flickering)?

[@truefootball_esp]

1.0.0.7 have the red tint bug, only 1.0.0.8 new have this solve.

[@sssfadfsdafefedvsa]

@@maxsmnv I think it still flickering, eyestrain is same level at my lg 4k ips 27" but i feel better than lg oled 48" (maybe it too big)

[@sssfadfsdafefedvsa]

@@truefootball_esp no idea about 1.0.0.8 ,but i have lg oled 48" to compare, test with sdr/hdr srgb mode there is no red tint bug

[@brozik_cz]

I have the same 07/24 with 1.0.07 FW and it contains a red tint bug

[@firas.jn571]

Review the Koorui GN10

[@bs_blackscout]

Seems like a good option in some markets judging by the comments. By the way. Any chance of reviewing the AW2724DM? Not new but it's my monitor, you did review the Dell Edition of it (aka non Alienware). Shame about the calibration/red tint bug.

[@vk-fb4ox]

Haven't you already reviewed it? I swear, i remember watching this video.

[@JahonCross]

Different brand probably

[@Asiri010]

Thanks Tim for your videos. Could you please review the Redmagic 5088 zone Mini-LED monitor (GM001S) . This is the closest mini led monitor to OLED

[@edragyz8596]

Can you review the 5000 zone Redmagic monitor? It seems to be a real panel but no other manufacturers use it for some reason...

[@by1sma84]

Got it for 275€ in Spain and is🤯🤯🤯

[@Kosmostars]

Watching this on my G Pro I got last month for $300. Easily the best bang for your buck deal here even before taking MiniLED features into consideration. Can agree with everything you've said in the review, lots of annoying stuff to balance the positives, though I was lucky enough to dodge the red color tint firmware bug. Even with its shortcomings it's still much cheaper than its A-brand competitor models which start at around $400, not $200 around here. I'm usually very sensitive to PWM in monitors but this isn't a problem here unless I'm working in bright background programs for extended periods of time. I don't really use local dimming in SDR content but as someone who's seeing proper HDR for the first time it's so cool, I think overall it's a decent compromise between LED and OLED tech considering how cheap these displays are getting now.

[@maxsmnv]

So, it flickers but it's still comfortable for you?

[@Kosmostars]

@@maxsmnv I mean the reviews say that it does have flicker but I can't perceive it, usually I get headaches from PWM but none here. It does strain my eyes more than my old VA display but somehow I've managed to reduce it by approximately matching the G Pro's color settings to it. I've seen people return G Pro over eye strain before, I wonder if it's a common problem for this monitor.

[@maxsmnv]

@@Kosmostars thx for the answer. That's exactly what i'm trying to understand if it's common problem or not

[@marZey19]

Hate these mini LED's not being available in Australia. Can you recommend any in Australia worth checking out that isn't crazy expensive?

[@HappyHubris]

We really need a good review of the Innocn 34" with 2300 dimming zones.

[@HardyDimension]

Finally, it arrived! 😄👍

[@batmnin]

will u do a fo27q2 review

[@ljs5564]

time to review MSI MAG 274QRF QD E2

[@tulsatrash]

Heck yeah review!

[@ema4770]

Is there no way to get a DIY monnitor ? Get a panel an open hw driver an open firmware using HW LUTS, using displaycal and i1 Display Pro to hw balance it ? I really would like a monitor made it like that that you can upgrade and grow

[@r0cket626]

Could you review the TCL R3483Q CSOT VA Screen ?

[@kristianlund2913]

Still think my Acer xv275u p3 is a banger considering i bought it brand new for the equivalent of 168 USD. 384 dimming zones and a great VA panel. The only downside is having to manually switch between hdr and sdr

[@Carlos-wl5fn]

Hey Tim - Given the Standard response time in HDR do you recommend capping to 120Hz or 144Hz for HDR gaming?

[@einnujyt]

Curious about you importing this monitor from the US, would it have been harder to import from SEA countries?

[@gardenofnightmare]

The Xiaomi is around $60 cheaper than the AOC here, and I do prefer gaming performance over color calibration. Do you think that the Xiaomi is the better buy for me?

[@blueowln]

Yes

[@RandomloserDK]

I've been looking to get it for a while, but there where no comprehensive review of it.

[@cheng210]

Please do review for the upcoming TCL QD MiniLED T6L 288Hz TV once it is out next year. Just as a test to see whether TV in 2025 is decent enough for PC gaming.

[@thatchinaboi1]

I have this monitor and the local dimming is mostly a gimmick. It isn't that great and messes up the colors for everything except for video content. So it is only really useful watching video and playing games in HDR. The brightness of the monitor along with the price and general performance is what sells it for me. But don't expect local dimming to work well in most situations.
