Xiaomi has begun rolling out the 2K Monitor A27Qi 2026, starting with a release in Thailand ahead of a broader global launch. The updated 68.6 cm (27-inch) IPS monitor brings meaningful upgrades over its 2025 predecessor, including a bump from 100 Hz to 120 Hz, a 1,300:1 contrast ratio (a 33% improvement), and factory-calibrated color accuracy with Delta E less than 1.

The panel retains its 1440p resolution and 6 ms gray-to-gray response time, keeping this squarely in budget productivity territory rather than chasing gaming specs. Xiaomi has priced the 2K Monitor A27Qi 2026 at roughly $159 (€146) in Thailand, just $3 (€3) more than the outgoing model. European pricing has not been confirmed, but based on the original's pricing, expect around $165 (€150) in the UK and $179 (€150) in the Eurozone when it arrives in additional markets.
