As part of itscontinuing journeytowards becoming a more complete consumer technology company with a comprehensive product portfolio that goes beyond smartphones and associated accessories, Xiaomi on Thursday launched two gaming monitors in China — one with a massive 34-inch curved display and another, with a 23.8-inch flat screen.

Called the Mi Surface Display, the flagship device in the lineup features a34-inch 1500R curved screen with a 21:9 aspect ratio, a144Hz refresh rateand 3440 x 1440 pixel resolution. The monitor also supports AMD Freesync, low Blu-Ray mode and 121 percent of the sRGB color gamut. Xiaomi is also shipping a bracket that it says is fitted to the monitor using a magnet-based mechanism.

The Mi Surface Display ispriced at 2,499 Yuan(around $350, Rs. 25,000), but can be pre-booked for 1,999 Yuan (around $280, Rs 20,000). It will go on sale in China from 21st October, but there’s no word yet on if it will ever make it to international markets, including India.

Alongside the aforementioned device, Xiaomi also launched a more affordable monitor aimed at mainstream gamers. Simply called theMi Display, the device features a 23.8-inch Full HD screen with a viewing angle of 178-degrees. Unlike its more elaborate sibling, it comes with a more traditional design with control buttons hidden at the right-side bottom panel bezel. It also comes with a cylindrical bracket that can be used to adjust the viewing angle.

As one would expect, the Mi Display is priced at a much more affordable price-point of 699 Yuan (around $100, Rs. 7,000) and will go on sale from October 21st.
