Xiaomi G Pro 27i Review

Xiaomi recently released a series of new gaming monitors aiming to provide an impressive gaming experience at a budget-friendly price point. I recently had the opportunity to take a look at and test out the new Xiaomi G Pro 27i gaming monitor. This impressive mini LED display is built from the ground up to provide an immersive 1440p gaming experience without the high price tag of OLED equivalent monitors.

While the specs of the G Pro 27i look great on paper, and its $330 price is pleasantly surprising, it's time to see just how well it performs.

It features a clip system attachment between the display and stands that, once attached, offers both a sturdy and flexible mounting point for the 27” display. With full vertical and horizontal tilt, vertical adjustment and portrait mode options, the G Pro 27i gives gamers the ultimate flexibility to accommodate their setup. 

A single circular RGB-enabled backlight encompasses the mounting point offering gamers a little extra customization. RGB Light control along with a host of other monitor functions are handled from
