2K Monitor A27Qi: Xiaomi releases new monitor with major upgrades from older model

Xiaomi has finally released the 2026 version of 2K Monitor A27Qi in some capacity. For context, the company added the 2K Monitor A27Qi 2026 to its global website in November. Additionally, the 2026 arrived around seven months after Xiaomi launched the original 2K Monitor A27Qi in Europe (curr. $184.99 on Amazon).
This time, Xiaomi has started by offering the 2K Monitor A27Qi 2026 in Thailand before other markets. To recap, the 2K Monitor A27Qi 2026 surpasses its predecessor in several key areas. For one, the new monitor is said to be more colour accurate out of the box, thanks to ΔE <1 colour deviations. Additionally, the 2K Monitor A27Qi 2026 benefits from a 1,300:1 contrast ratio for a 33% improvement over Xiaomi's 2025 release.
Also, the 2K Monitor A27Qi 2026 offers a 120 Hz refresh rate rather than the 100 Hz max of last year's model. The 2K Monitor A27Qi still peaks at 1440p and 6 ms (GtG) across its 27-inch IPS panel for its 2026 release, though. Xiaomi has priced the 2K Monitor A27Qi 2026 at THB 4,990 in Thailand, which converts to around $159 at current exchange rates.
Although pricing for other markets remains unknown for now, the 2026 edition retails for just THB 100 (~$3) more than its predecessor. Therefore, we would expect the 2K Monitor A27Qi 2026 to reach Europe for £119.99 (~$165) in the UK and €149.99 (~$179) in the Eurozone.
