The higher the refresh rate, the less flickering the image on the screen will be, and the more stable it will be, which in turn is better for eyesight.
 

Q2: What is the maximum refresh rate of the Xiaomi Gaming Monitor G24i 2026?

A: When connecting an HDMI cable (HDMI 2.0), the details are as follows:
  1. Make sure both the monitor and computer are powered off.
  2. Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the computer's HDMI 2.0 port and the other end to the monitor's HDMI port.
When connecting a DP cable (DP 1.4, sold separately), the details are as follows:
  1. Make sure both the monitor and computer are powered off.
  2. Connect one end of the DP cable to the computer's DP port and the other end to the monitor's DP port.
To change the refresh rate in Windows 10, go to [Start] >> [Settings] >> [System] >> [Display] >> [Advanced display settings] >> [Monitor] >> [Screen refresh rate].
 

Q3: What is dynamic brightness?

A: Dynamic brightness changes during the picture changes, making white whiter and black darker, making the picture brighter and more vivid, which can reduce eye fatigue caused by long-term exposure to overly bright or dark pictures.
 

Q4: What is the contrast ratio of the Xiaomi Gaming Monitor G24i 2026? What is a static contrast ratio?

A: The Xiaomi Gaming Monitor G24i 2026 has a static contrast ratio of 1000:1.
Static contrast ratio is calculated by dividing the brightness of a white screen (at its brightest) by the brightness of a black screen (at its darkest). The higher the screen's contrast, the better the display quality (color and depth).
 

Q5: What is BlackLevel?

A: BlackLevel can improve the blur caused by insufficient image contrast in black scenes, making the picture in black scenes very clear. If there is too much black in the image, details will be lost. Lack of black will result in a dull appearance.

The image will automatically be stretched horizontally or vertically to fit the screen size based on the output resolution. Non-16:9 resolutions will not be distorted.
Note:
Adjusting the output resolution requires adjusting the graphics card settings.
 

Q11: How to adjust the Xiaomi Gaming Monitor G24i 2026 for optimal image quality?

A: Due to individual differences, you can adjust the contrast, brightness, hue, and saturation yourself, or you can choose your own preferences in the color space of the display image mode.
 

Q12: What is Gray-to-Gray (GTG) Time?

A: The time it takes for each point on the screen to transition from one color to the next is called response time. Images on the screen are all grayscale changes, so the response time we're talking about here refers to grayscale response time.
 

Q13: What is Adaptive Sync?

A: Adaptive Sync, or adaptive vertical synchronization technology, is the first open standard developed by VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) for variable refresh rate monitors. This standard addresses monitor developments and market demand, further improving visual quality and experience for you.
It primarily synchronizes the graphics card's output image signal with the monitor's refresh rate, thus avoiding the screen tearing that occurs when the two are out of sync. Simply put, Adaptive Sync adjusts the monitor's refresh rate in real time to sync it with the graphics card's output frame rate, eliminating tearing and lag, and improving the smoothness and stability of games and videos.
Adaptive Sync technology can be implemented in various ways, including AMD's FreeSync and Nvidia's G-Sync. It requires support from both the monitor and graphics card, and requires appropriate configuration.
 

Q14: Does turning Adaptive Sync on or off have any impact on the performance and lifespan of the monitor?

A: Generally speaking, enabling or disabling Adaptive Sync has a minimal impact on monitor performance. Enabling Adaptive Sync primarily improves visual quality and reduces issues like screen tearing.
As for the impact on monitor lifespan, it's generally negligible, as it doesn't directly damage the monitor hardware.
