In this review, I’ll talk all about my experience using the Redmi Gaming Monitor G24. So affordable gaming monitors are pretty.. bad. They often compromise on a lot of crucial aspects like refresh rate, color accuracy, and even build quality to bring down the cost. But well, meet this guy—the Redmi Gaming Monitor G24 from Xiaomi.
It costs just $90 in China and for the price, its specs are just ama…zing! It comes with a 24” Full HD display with a 165Hz refresh rate, Nvidia G-Sync & AMD FreeSync, and even HDR10 support. I know, it’s kinda hard to believe Redmi is able to pack all of these for such a low asking price. So I was really excited to see if there’s any false advertising going on here.

Redmi Gaming Monitor G24 Review:
Design
Actually, I have been using this thing for a couple of days now! And given the price, the Redmi G24 has a pretty generic look for a gaming monitor. There’s no fancy RGB lighting anywhere, but the good thing is that it doesn’t look that cheap or anything.
And what I like best about the G24 is that, despite being a budget monitor, Redmi has included a metal-base stand here. It feels sturdy and can withstand the weight of the screen fairly well.
The company is also thoughtful enough to include this buckle thingy on the stand for cable management. Speaking of ports, the G24 has one HDMI, one DisplayPort, and one 3.5mm headphone jack. Alongside a joystick to control the on-screen menu.
It would have been nice to see a couple of USB-C ports, so you could connect it to your laptop as a secondary display, but I’m not complaining. The Redmi G24 also doesn’t have a height-adjustable stand, although you can tilt the display to achieve the best possible viewing angle for you.
To be very honest, I find the screen to be at a comfortable height for my needs, and the lack of such adjustability hasn’t impacted my day-to-day or gaming experience in any way. So yeah, this isn’t something to worry about.
Display
Now, let’s talk about the display. And this is where this monitor has surprised me the most. Like I said before, budget gaming monitor makers usually compromise in terms of resolution or color space, but Redmi is offering a pretty decent panel with the G24.
Its Full HD resolution means the content looks sharp enough. But more importantly, I found the screen to cover 99% sRGB and 90% P3 colors on my test, which means it’s also not a bad option to edit some photos and stuff.
You can even change the picture mode to sRGB in the settings for better color accuracy while editing. And there are other picture presets you can choose from depending on your needs as well. Normally, I prefer using the Redmi Monitor G24 in the standard mode which I think offers good calibration by default and I find it ideal for binging movies and shows.
Redmi has also offered HDR10 certification here. It works perfectly fine, although turning on HDR doesn’t let you change any of the display parameters and it runs on a pre-tuned picture setting.
This display can get pretty bright at 327 nits—which is actually higher than the official claim of 300 nits. So I didn’t have any problems even when using the monitor in a bright room. I am also someone who works in a room with a lot of overhead lighting, so its matte finish helps with the ambient reflections too.
The only flaw I’ve found with the display so far is the viewing angles. That’s primarily because Redmi has used a VA panel which is notorious for poor viewing angles while offering better contrast than a typical IPS panel.
