Xiaomi ELA5375EU 27" 2025

The Xiaomi G27i-US gives you 165Hz and FreeSync Premium for around $150, which is a steal for budget gamers. Performance lands in the 77th percentile, well above average for the price. Just know you're getting a tilt-only stand, minimal ports, and HDR that's mostly for show.

The 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time are the stars here. In our database, performance sits at the 77th percentile, which is well above average for this price class. FreeSync Premium keeps tearing at bay if you're running an AMD GPU, and motion handling is smooth enough for competitive shooters. The 1080p resolution on a 27-inch panel means pixel density isn't great, so text can look a bit soft. Color accuracy is solid but unspectacular at 99% sRGB, landing around the 55th percentile. HDR10 is technically supported, but on a panel without real local dimming or high peak brightness, it's more of a checkbox than a feature.

Against the competition, the G27i-US holds its own on price but falls behind on features. The ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B and LG UltraGear 27GS75Q-B both offer better panels and more connectivity, but they cost significantly more. The Acer Nitro XV272U W2bmiiprx gives you 1440p resolution, which is a real upgrade for text clarity and desktop work. The HP OMEN 27qs G2 is another step up in both price and quality. If you're strictly on a budget and only care about gaming speed, the Xiaomi makes sense. If you want a monitor that's also good for productivity or media, spend a bit more elsewhere.

At $150 USD, this monitor is aggressively priced for what you get. The EUR listings show a spread from EUR 90 to EUR 129 across DE, ES, FR, and IT, so European buyers should shop around. The German listing at EUR 90 is the best deal we found. For a 165Hz IPS panel with FreeSync Premium, that's hard to beat. You're sacrificing ergonomics, connectivity, and HDR quality, but if raw gaming performance per dollar is your metric, this delivers.

The Xiaomi G27i-US is a 27-inch 1080p IPS panel aimed squarely at budget gamers. You get 165Hz, a 1ms response time, and FreeSync Premium for smooth gameplay without breaking the bank. At around $150 USD, it's one of the cheapest ways to hit high refresh rates on a decent-sized screen.

But this is a budget monitor, and it shows. The stand only tilts, connectivity is barebones, and the color performance lands right in the middle of the pack. If you want a no-frills gaming display that prioritizes speed over everything else, this does the job. Just don't expect premium build quality.

Skip this if you need a monitor for productivity or media work. The 1080p resolution on 27 inches makes text look soft, and the tilt-only stand means no height adjustment for ergonomic setups. If you want HDR that actually looks good, look elsewhere because this panel lacks the brightness and local dimming to make HDR10 meaningful. And if you need multiple inputs or USB ports, the barebones connectivity here will frustrate you.

This is a budget gaming monitor that knows exactly what it is. If you want high refresh rates on the cheap and don't care about stand adjustability, port selection, or HDR, the G27i-US is a solid pick. It's best for competitive gamers on a tight budget who play fast-paced titles like shooters or racing games. The 1080p resolution is fine for gaming but less ideal for reading or detailed work.
