Xiaomi’s 240Hz gaming monitor features a Night Vision trick for intense gaming sessions.

      Xiaomi’s latest monitor aims to reveal every camper lurking in the shadows

      Xiaomi has introduced a new gaming monitor that features the usual high refresh rate and quick response time. However, the standout feature is its Night Vision capability, which could provide built-in advantages in certain situations. The Xiaomi Gaming Monitor G25i 2026 has been officially listed on Xiaomi’s global website, confirming its launch in Europe and other international markets.

      What sets this Chinese gaming monitor apart?

      The most intriguing aspect of the specifications is the monitor’s Night Vision feature. Xiaomi describes it as a means to “identify enemies in dark environments and lock onto concealed targets,” essentially implying that it makes dark areas less forgiving. The exact workings of this mode have not been clarified by Xiaomi, but their promotional materials suggest it serves as an aiming assist function.

      While this may not be as crucial in story-driven single-player games, it could significantly impact multiplayer titles. Some newer games, such as Arc Raiders, feature dedicated “Night Raids” that enhance the darker, immersive experience. Players have previously adjusted monitor settings and tweaked contrast and brightness to navigate these scenarios, but the Xiaomi Gaming Monitor G25i 2026 appears to offer this capability right out of the box.

      The rest of the specifications are impressive

      Beneath the clever visibility enhancement, this is a fairly conventional gaming monitor. It comes with a 24.5-inch Fast IPS panel, boasting a resolution of 1920 x 1080, a refresh rate of 240Hz, and a 1ms gray-to-gray response time. Additionally, Xiaomi includes FreeSync Premium, which aims to lessen tearing and stuttering during fast-paced gameplay.

      Xiaomi’s official listing also highlights 93% DCI-P3 wide color gamut coverage, along with 400 nits of typical brightness and a 1,000:1 contrast ratio. This model is positioned as a budget gaming monitor, priced around €180, although official pricing and details on local availability are still pending.

      Discord finally ceases to treat Snapdragon Windows laptops as second-rate PCs

      Snapdragon Windows laptops receive a long-overdue Discord upgrade

      Windows users on the ARM platform are finally getting some recognition from Discord. The company has rolled out a dedicated version for Windows on ARM, which should have been implemented from the outset.

      Discord is now natively available on ARM-based laptops, and the company’s download page now lists separate downloads for Windows x64 and ARM64 for the desktop app. Consequently, laptops powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, including the latest Copilot+ PCs, will no longer need to rely on the standard Windows app running through emulation.
