Xiaomi 29-inch curved gaming monitor may come soon

Xiaomi is best known for its smartphones, though it does dabble in other hardware categories: smart TVs, fitness bands, battery packs, and even electric scooters. The Mi Surface 34 was the company’s first desktop monitor. It had a 34-inch display sporting a curved panel with a 3440×1440 resolution (21:9 aspect ratio).

Built for gaming, it had a 144Hz refresh rate, 4ms response time, and AMD FreeSync support. Alongside that, we also saw the Xiaomi also unveiled a 23.8-inch IPS monitor with a 1920×1080 resolution. It came with a fairly similar feature set, and was priced at 699 Yuan (~$98 US). Now, leakers are reporting a third model on the way soon.

According to the report, the brand-new display will essentially have the same features as the larger unit. It’ll retain the 144Hz refresh rate and 4ms response time, only on a smaller 29-inch curved panel. On top of this, it’ll obviously be priced slightly lower than the current 34-inch model, giving it a nice niche.

There are no shortage of options if you are in the hunt for a new gaming monitor, from newcomers like Razer and Xiaomi to old veterans like Viewsonic. We’re eager to see how the new Xiaomi gaming monitor turns out, though we expect it to be just as good as their previous efforts which were already stellar products.
