Seems to me this is an acceptable to good low-budget HDR gaming monitor. Gamers don't really care much for true-color sRGB modes. And most likely enjoy the level of saturation as it 'wows' them compared to their previous device from many years ago. Could it be better? Sure. But for these specs the price is great, I think. There is only one mini-LED monitor available for substantially cheaper, and it has notably worse performance.

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.

[@manoftherainshorts9075]

I've got this one (well, Redmi non-international model) for $270. Most of "affordable" monitors you guys usually make reviews about are more than $400 in my country, so for our market this monitor seemed like a godsend.

Hello, Is it fine if you use native mode to avoid the red tint bug with nvidia hdr rtx to use the wider color mode better or is the oversaturation too much?

[@manoftherainshorts9075]

@@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.

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.

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.

[@BenyaminLorit]

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.)

[@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.

[@mort996]

We waited a long time on this 😀

[@ecvent0r]

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.

[@aigheluvvsekhs5882]

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.

[@mahermatrix]

Thanks for the review. In Germany both of the AOC and Xiaomi monitors have the same price (330€) which makes the Xiaomi more tempting. But given the color tuning issues, I will wait for a successor or a new patch if they fix the firmware. Hopefully they continue this line of monitors.

[@SashimiSteak]

Having recently moved from a high end VA LCD panel capable of fantastic looking HDR 1000 experience to an OLED, I honestly can say the improvement is mostly preferential. Both high end LCD + sufficient dimming zones and OLED have some extreme pros and glaring cons depending on the situation, that's why sometimes I find the treatment of OLED being the high end and LCD being the budget/mid range a little triggering. For how people typically use their monitor aka a combination of gaming + work + browsing + video / movies etc, OLED is simply not better than LCD in every perceivable way so I don't think it's right to automatically rank a monitor higher than another just based on the panel tech. A properly built and tuned LCD can compete with OLED on equal grounds for how a monitor is typically used from an overall sense.

[@Jeroenneman]

Did you not see the stats for cumulative deviation? No monitor comes close to OLED when it comes to overshoot/actual refresh rate. I'd simply use two monitors, one cheap as hell for office work and browsing, and an OLED for movies/games.

[@manoftherainshorts9075]

Hey, I've just wanted to clarify about "Red tint" problem that you've encountered with this monitor. This is a long-lasting bug in this monitor's firmware. It can be eliminated by enabling and disabling "power saving mode" in this monitor's setting. So in order to properly use this monitor and NOT encounter that bug you should: 1. Enable sRGB mode and get red-ish picture; 2. Go to Picture Mode menu; 3. Go to "Select Mode" and choose "Energy saver"; 4. Go back to the same menu and choose "Standard" again. Voila! Red tint is gone! Xiaomi cannot fix this bug and it was a nuisance for many owners of this monitors, although some people say they don't encounter it with their monitors. Weird.

[@benjaminoechsli1941]

Other people are saying this "fix" reverts every time you swap settings, so I hope purchasers counting on this to work aren't swapping between SDR and HDR often.

[@manoftherainshorts9075]

@@benjaminoechsli1941 On my monitor (Redmi for Chinese market, firmware ver. 1.0.19) red tint bug doesn't appear if switching from HDR to SDR, or it is so insignificant I don't even notice it. It only appears if I change gamut settings (from native to DCI-P3 or sRGB, let's say). I edit photos maybe once a month (I use DCI-P3 mode for that instead of Native), so doing 10 second fix doesn't bother me. I'd rather do this than pay $500 for another miniLED monitor like that AOC mentioned in this video.

I have had the AOC Q27g3xmn for almost a year now and HDR tuning has been a pain in the ass. It doesnt do source tone mapping from the OSD so windows 11 looks washed out and red-tinted, which cannot be fixed in the OSD. Even after using the windows store HDR calibration app, it HDR in general becomes a hit/miss depending on the game. Auto-HDR ironically enough, looks better with some of the games that support it. I tried HDR on the PS5 through the HDMI port and it looked completely washed out. This was further frustrated by the fact that enabling HDR on the monitor, it blocks almost every other option in the OSD. Unlike PC, consoles can't control monitor color tuning manually with GPU software like nvidia control panel. For a budget panel, the AOC Q27g3xmn did have more pros than cons but it was an absolute pain to set up and I would have paid an extra $20 - 30 if I could get some bloody firmware updates.

Decades ago monitor buttons, were in the front of the monitor, sometimes behind a small trap door, and that makes absolute sense to me, is so the user can easily reach them, while looking directly at the screen and controls. Now is nothing like that and is so inconvenient! Is impossible to look at the screen and the buttons at the same time, making you mis-click often, is like being a blind person trying to read braille. Some monitor makers, even fail to put all monitor firmware options on their software, so you can't change the exact same settings in the OS tools and even if they do, sometimes their software is so bloated, buggy and slow that you don't want to install it, so you are forced to deal with hard to reach monitor buttons...

I dont give a shit about the environment, so I dont want power saving bullshit. I dont want it to randomly dim and undim all the fucking time. I dont want it to decide for me to get rid of all the blue because "oh, your eyes might hurt!", I dont want to have to switch between SDR versus HDR placebos, I just want it to work and look good and not burn in or get horrible backlight bleed. Point me to this monitor please. And dont give me any bullshit about 3-5 year warranties making OLEDs the better gamble. I shouldnt have to RMA the thing 3 times in one year, which is the worst report I have seen, MULTIPLE TIMES SO FAR FROM SEVERAL PEOPLE who bought $1000 OLEDS. Thats fucking bullshit, thats a company that KNOWS their product is fucked right from the get go, and to counter it theyre pulling a "microsoft with the red ring of death", gambling with "maybe well make MORE money than well actually lose, itll eventually even out". What should be TERRIFYING to ALL of you is, this isnt ONE company doing this, its ALL of them, meaning they ALL released a product WAY too early. That shit rarely happens, and to me is a sign of an industry falling apart either with greed, or because ultimately they know theyre done so they dont care and are trying to milk as much as humanly possible before the inevitable crash.

I returned mine, it was on 1.0.6 and the red tint was there. 1.0.8 is safe for red tint. Also I relised that mini led is not for me

Me watching from Australia after the first line 👁️👃👁️

[@Nokonyx]

While the performance of the monitor isn't stellar, given that I managed score it at $240 USD while on sale can't complain much shrugs...

[@simonwest6002]

Surprised you guys are aware of mini led as 99% of the reviews are for oled.

[@Mechenzo440]

Why do people like 27 inch instead of 31-32? For the past 5 years plus i only had ultrawide, 29 inch(2560x1080),34 inch(3440x1440] and now 49 inch( 5120x1440 the odyssey oled), i know not all people like ultrawide, but why not 32 inch 4k or 1440 instead of 27,is so small

[@SebastianLunn]

the PPI for 1440p at 27 is much better than the PPI at 32. I think 4K is best at 32in also

[@DanceTowaDance]

because 32" are for 4k usage, and 4k monitors ain't cheap

[@Void-uj7jd]

Because poor pixel density. 22 Inch 1080p 27 Inch 1440p 30+ Inch 4k

[@Norim_]

Because anything bigger than 28" on a 16:9 display looks like a TV.

[@mklegomaster]

Well now everyone can stop yapping about the xiaomi g pro 27I right? Right? Wait, do I see the AOC Q27g4XMN on german news?

[@benisapp155]

I wonder how many adds this monitor is going to display.

[@tomtomkowski7653]

Can't understand a monitor without a USB port for firmware updates - this is just stupid. This couldn't be an issue if this monitor were perfectly tuned but it isn't and it's obvious that a firmware update is welcome. For me DOA just because of this. Still waiting for a good 4k 27-28" LCD with 10k+ dimming zones. This monitor is a step in a good direction but we are not there yet.

[@goldkat94]

The KTC M27T20 is still missing in the budget mini LED monitor list on this channel.

[@privatjetconnaisseur]

i got that one, but its just another version of the coolermaster gp2711 KTC is the OEM manufacturer for coolermaster. so it doesnt make sense to list the effectively exact same monitor twice. edit: although it would be nice if its somehow possible to list both in the same line or sth

[@notchipotle]

it's only $275 here in indonesia

[@Frankstovold]

Had this monitor had to send back had way to many issues even for the cost.

[@kimberly4275]

Has anyone ever plugged headphones into their monitor? Im really curious. I always see the headphone connectors and wonder why anyone would do that. Same with all the USB slots always

[@marcovazzana905]

It has no speakers, so I plug my speakers in the headphone jack. Usb can be used as hub or for firmware update, very important since this monitor has bugs that needs to be fixed but can not be fixed without the possibility to update it.

[@ahmadsayad4983]

Thanks Man. I commented for straight 10 days for you to review this Monitor. Thx for listening....... so..... (Day 11: finally got him to review this monitor. Mission success)

[@haroon7275]

can we get the ICC profile please :(

[@paul_wiggin]

Using IPS makes no sense for HDR-capable displays. I`v purchased this monitor a month ago and had to sell it because its contrast and brightness in real world usage is terrible + local dimming artifacts make it not any better than good VA monitor with native 30<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1">00:1</a> contrast ratio

[@B-max.]

Another example of great hardware being ruined by poor tuning and software.

[@nullvoid3990]

Have an old mi curve 34 was a good monitor but qled shits on it

[@johnsmithee6541]

Thnx for the Test, im unhappy, that the Monitor not beat the AOC, on the other Hand im happy, because for the missing Review, i yesterday bought a M28U and im shocked if the G27i pro would be an HDR Rival to OLED for a reasonable Price without the Burn-in Issue.
