Xiaomi‘s Redmi brand has got a new product under its sleeves. The product is a display monitor which is the first the company is announcing since the launch of the Redmi 1A in May last year as the brand’s first monitor.
The new Redmi monitor packs a 27-inch IPS
LCD display with a resolution of 1080p. The display carries a price tag of 799
yuan (US$ 123), higher than the 499 yuan (US$ 77) price tag of the Redmi 1A. The
monitor is expected to officially go on sale on March 8 via Xiaomi Mall and
Jingdong.
In terms of appearance, the 27-inch Redmi
monitor continues the classic three-micro-edge design, and there is no
unnecessary protrusion on the back of the screen. Xiaomi says the thinnest part
of the display is only 7.5mm.
In terms of configuration, the display
uses a 27-inch screen with an FHD resolution of 1920x1080p. It also supports a
maximum refresh rate of 75Hz. Thanks to the IPS technology, the color display
is more transparent and pure, and it has a higher light transmittance, and the
viewing angle is as high as 178 degrees. Further, the Redmi display utilizes an
aspect ratio of 16:9, a brightness of 300cd/m² (TYP), a contrast ratio of
1000:1 (TYP), and a 100% sRGB wide color gamut.
Not only that, Redmi’s new display comes with
a low blue light mode which won’t cause eye fatigue even if you stare at the
screen for too long. Thus, it can be used in offices and by games. We doubt if
too many gamers will find this monitor interesting considering the low refresh
rate.
In addition, the 27-inch Redmi display
supports different angle adjustments and uses five-way buttons to switch the
machine, up and down, left and right directions. At the same time, it supports
HDMI, VGA, and other interfaces.
