Xiaomi debuts its first gaming monitor.

[TaySan]

It's a 34-inch display sporting a curved (1500R) panel with a 3440x1440 resolution (21:9 aspect ratio). Built for gaming, it has a 144Hz refresh rate, 4ms response time, and AMD FreeSync support.

Certain details are not yet known, such as the brightness level, contrast ratio, and connectivity options. It's also unclear what company is sourcing the VA panel. A post on Weibo suggests it's Samsung.

Preorder pricing on the 34-inch Surface Mi is 1,999 Yuan, which is around $283 in US currency. After it ships, the price will go up to 2,499 Yuan (~$354). It's not clear if Xiaomi intends to offer this display outside of China.

Xiaomi also unveiled a 23.8-inch IPS monitor with a 1920x1080 resolution. Other details are tougher to come by, though it's priced at 699 Yuan (~$98).

It's exciting to see potentially cheaper options in the gaming monitor space! :D

283 is still amazing considering the specs.

What's the input lag on them, though.

Sub-$300 for a 34" 21:9 1440 144hz is nuts.

I can only imagine the corners cut and how much that VA panel will ghost.

They have a record for very good tech TBH

In for non curved if they released one.

This is Xiaomi, I bet it'll be insane value.

Looks great. Just bought a Xiaomi phone last week, the punch it packs is insane for the pricepoint.

Xiaomi notoriously has razor thin margins, so those prices are basically normal for them.

Xiaomi doesn't cut corners, they do magic.

They do cut corners but their product for the price is still best bang for the buck range. Also you can be assured of the quality when it comes to them.

In US from what ive seen consumers dont get stiff competition in lower priced mobile phones. Come to India or China and you will be baffled. Xiaomi isn't the only horse delivering great stuff cheap there's lot of companies now. In monitor space though currently there's only xiaomi i guess with this announcement. To people wondering how? Xiaomi usually keeps a 8-10% profit range only on their products(as said by their ceo) and price it low as their mantra is to reach out to most.

My Redmi Note 4 bought for 120euros in 2017 is low key my best tech purchase ever, 1080p screen,625snap, 4000mah battery which basically lasts 2days to this day,ridiculous value.

 

[thuway]

No oled? No hdr? I'm good.

 

[Starviper]

That's insanely cheap. My G-Sync 34" 3440x1440 monitor was around 1 grand, but that was a couple years ago now.

 

[pezzie]

Shit. Gotta see if I can get my dad to order one for me.

 

[Tbm24]

If it's quality for the price I will find a means to order one.

 

[Deleted member 21709]

That price is nuts.

 

[FILE_ID.DIZ]

As someone who isn't familiar with this brand, are they good? Do they build to last?

Xiaomi is known from packing an insane value in their products. Particularly from their smartphones. We will have to wait and see on this since it's their first with monitors, but their products are known for quality.

I am posting from my Xiaomi mi8 and have purchased multiple Xiaomi products from power banks to smart watches. For me their quality has been excellent and they give you the best bang for your buck.

 

[Reverse Giraffe]

It probably records you and sends the data to the CCP.
That said, I would still buy one.

 

[Str0ngStyle]

Where would you buy one of these from? Cause if the reviews are decent I would love one.

They are probably *the best* chinese brand when it comes to quality really good stuff for the price.

 

[heavy liquid]

For this price, I'd definitely buy one!

 

[JilloftheJungle]

BTW u can buy Xiaomi on AliExpress! I got my Mi 9 there, no problems.

It's not magic, it's just cheap Chinese slave labor + razor thin margins as previously stated. Your cheap tech products, especially from a company like this, can only be the way they are in large part because of another human beings misery.

China wins again.

Chinese labor is not as cheap as you think, Xiaomi is in fact opening factories in India because the labor costs are lower.
Also, like pretty much all modern tech products, this isn't something that is just made in one country. For example, this monitor is using a Samsung panel, I kinda doubt it even ranks all that high in the list of products with the highest percentage of Chinese labor involved in their production.

 

[Falchion]

Holy shit that's an amazing price. I would buy that in a heartbeat as my new primary if it sales in the US.

Same honestly! The gsync equivalent of this easily goes over $1,000 it's insanely expensive.

Sub$300? I'm not in the market for a new monitor, but...

Yeah I just bought the new LG 27' 1440p 21:9 monitor that was $500 and it felt like a good deal.

 

[Turnabout Sisters]

That price is insane. Very glad nvidia cards can do freesync now

 

[Chaosblade]

If the panel is good I might actually want one of these. And I had zero intention of upgrading my monitor any time soon. That's an insane value.

 

[_Karooo]

I spent $300 on a shitty LG monitor.

 

[Deleted member 4783]

Don't sleep on Xiaomi, they make fucking amazing products.

I bought a pair of Piston 3 earphones 5 years ago, and they are still alive and kicking, and sound like a pair of 100usd+ dollars earphones while costing 25usd.

 

[TheMango55]

Any word about when these things are supposed to be out?

 

[Afrikan]

mmm....curious to see what TCL has to counter that.

Same thing applies to expensive products so what's your point.
