How to set up the Xiaomi Redmi monitor G24 165Hz: color-frequency

Xiaomi Redmi G24 165Hz

all stages of adjustment

Despite the fact that the monitor supports 165 Hz "out of the box", for stable operation, you need to choose the right cable, configure the graphics card drivers and the parameters of the display itself. AMD FreeSync, which reduces frame gaps but can conflict with some graphics chips. If you plugged in a monitor and saw that the frequency is limited to 60 Hz, don't be quick to blame the technique: 90% of the time, the problem is solved software-based.

In the article you will find:

• 🔌 What cables support 165 Hz (and why) HDMI 2.0 isn't always right)
• ⚙️ Step-by-step configuration in Windows 10/11 driver NVIDIA/AMD
• 🎮 Optimal profiles for games (CS2, Valorant, Cyberpunk 2077)
• 🖥️ Calibration of colors for design and processing of photos
• ⚡ Solving typical problems (flickering, artifacts, missing 165Hz list)

1. Monitor connection: what cable is needed for 165 Hz

The first and most common mistake is using the wrong cable. G24 165Hz Maintains maximum frequency only through DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1. If you're connected through HDMI 2.0, frequency will be limited 144 Hz (if authorized) 1920×1080).

Here's what to consider:

• 🔹 DisplayPort 1.4 — The best choice. 165 Hz without compromise, as well as adaptive synchronization (FreeSync/G-Sync). Included with a monitor is just such a cable.
• 🔹 HDMI 2.1 — It is also suitable, but requires a compatible video card (series). RTX 30/40 or RX 6000/7000). Older models (e.g, GTX 10xx) supportive HDMI 2.1.
• ⚠️ HDMI 2.0 – Limits frequency to 144 Hz at Full HD. If your graphics card doesn’t have DisplayPort, you’ll have to accept this limitation.

Check the current connection type in Windows Settings → System system → Display. → Additional display parameters, if the "Display information" section HDMI No version, it's guaranteed 2.0.

⚠️ Note: Some users are trying to use adapters HDMI → DisplayPort to reach 165Hz. It doesn't work -- adapters don't increase signal bandwidth. The only solution is to buy the right cable.

2. 165Hz setup in Windows 10 and 11

Even with the right cable, Windows can default to a 60Hz frequency limit. You can fix this through standard settings or the graphics card control panel.

Method 1: Through Windows settings

1. Open the settings → System → Display.
2. Select Additional Display Settings.
3. In the section "Update Frequency" select 165 Hz. If this item is not - see the solutions below.

Method 2: Through the control panel NVIDIA (GeForce video cards)

1. Right-click on the desktop → Control panel NVIDIA.
2. Go to the → Change resolution.
3. Choose. 1920×1080 and 165 Hz on drop-down list.
4. Click Apply and confirm the changes.

If 165 Hz is not listed, the reasons may be:

• 🔸 Inappropriate cable is installed (see section 1).
• 🔸 Video card drivers are outdated (update via GeForce Experience or AMD Adrenalin).
• 🔸 V BIOS The motherboard is disabled above mode 4G Decoding (relevant for PC with discrete graphics card).
• 🔸 Monitor's in mode. HDMI 1.4 (you need to reset your settings via Menu) → Reset).

3. Optimization for games: FreeSync, response time and modes

Redmi G24 165Hz supportive AMD FreeSync Premium, which synchronizes the refresh rate of the monitor with the FPS In the game, eliminating frame gaps (tearing). However, to work correctly, you need to configure both the monitor and the graphics card correctly.

Setting up FreeSync on the monitor:

1. Press the Menu button on the monitor → Choose Game → FreeSync.
2. Turn on the On mode.
3. Set the 48–165Hz range (these are the optimal limits for most games).

Setting up FreeSync/G-Sync PC-only:

• 🖥️ For graphics cards. AMD: open up AMD Adrenalin → Display → Radeon FreeSync → Turn on and select Full Screen.
• 🖥️ For graphics cards. NVIDIA: control panel NVIDIA Go to the Display. → Setting up G-Sync → Turn on G-Sync Compatible and mark On for window and full screen modes.

For maximum smoothness in games, it is also recommended:

• 🎯 Set response time of 1 ms (MPRT) in the settings of the monitor (Game) → Response Time).
• 🎯 Disable the technology VRR Control (it can add delay).
• 🎯 Enable Game Mode to reduce input lag.

⚠️ Note: If you see micro-stuttering when FreeSync is enabled, try limiting the game. FPS 2 to 3 frames below the maximum monitor frequency (e.g. 162) FPS This solves the problem of the conflict between synchronization and the engine frame limiter.

💡

If you see a “double” of images in the game when moving fast, try to increase the response time to 2 ms (MPRT). This will reduce the number of artifacts, but slightly increase input lag.

4. Color calibration for graphics and video

For design, video editing or photo processing, Redmi's standard profile G24 It can be too cold or oversaturated, and the monitor covers 99% sRGB, but it requires manual adjustment to accurately render color.

Basic parameters for work:

• 🎨 Color mode: Standard (on the Picture monitor menu) → Color Mode).
• 🎨 Temperature: 6500K (white-neutral).
• 🎨 Brightness: 100-120 cd/m2 (for comfortable daytime work).
• 🎨 Contrast: 50% (default value is usually optimal).

For professional calibration, it is recommended to use a hardware calibrator (for example, X-Rite). i1Display Pro, but if you don’t have it, you can use free tools:

1. Download the Lagom tests LCD for checking the gradations of gray, black and white.
2. Adjust Gamma in the monitor settings (Picture) → Gamma) so that all shades of gray are distinguishable.
3. Use an online calibrator for basic brightness and contrast settings.

Important: In Movie or Eye Care, the monitor artificially inflates warm colors, which distorts the color reproduction, and to work with graphics, these modes must be turned off.

💡

For accurate color rendering, turn off all the "improvement" features: Dynamic Contrast, Black Tuner, Super Resolution. They spoil the gray gradations and distort the colors.

5. Update firmware and reset settings

If the monitor is unstable (spontaneously changing brightness, not saving settings or showing 165 Hz), the reason may be outdated firmware. Xiaomi periodically releases updates for Redmi. G24, Compatibility-correcting bugs.

How to update firmware:

1. Download the latest firmware version from the official Xiaomi website (section "Monitores" → Redmi G24").
2. Unpack the archive and copy the.bin file to the flash drive (format) FAT32).
3. Connect the flash drive to the monitor (ports are located on the side).
4. In the monitor menu, select System → Firmware Upgrade and follow the instructions.

Reset to factory settings:

If the monitor starts to glittle after the changes, return it to its original state:

1. Press the Menu button for 10 seconds.
2. In the menu that appears, select Reset. → Yes.

⚠️ Warning: Do not turn off the monitor during the firmware update. If the process is interrupted, the display may stop turning on, in which case you will need to contact the service center to flash through the service port.

6. Solving typical problems

Even after setting up correctly, Redmi users G24 They're the ones that are the most common and the ways to fix them:

If the problem is not resolved, check:

• 🔧 Compatibility of FreeSync (List of Supported Models) NVIDIA here).
• 🔧 Power Settings Windows (should be selected mode "High performance").
• 🔧 Connect to the correct port on the graphics card (some motherboards have built-in video output that doesn't support high frequencies).

Additional functions: PIP, KVM lighting

Redmi G24 165Hz It supports several useful functions that many people don’t know about:

• 🖥️ Regime. PIP (Picture-in-Picture: allows you to display an image from a second source (such as a console) in a small window. → PIP → On.
• 🔄 KVM-switch: if a PC and a laptop are connected to the monitor, you can switch between them with a single button (Input) → KVM). The keyboard and mouse switch automatically.
• 💡 Illumination RGB: There is an LED backlight on the back, which can be configured via Menu. → Lighting: Static colors and dynamic effects (e.g., pulsation to music) are available).
• 👁️ Eye Care mode: reduces blue light, good for long-term work, but distorts colors (not suitable for design).

To activate KVM:

1. Connect both devices to the monitor (e.g. PC via DisplayPort, laptop via DisplayPort, laptop via monitor) HDMI).
2. Connect the keyboard and mouse to USB-monitor ports (located sideways).
3. Press the Input button on the monitor and select the source. The input devices will automatically switch.

💡

If it's backlit. RGB It doesn't respond to settings, check if the monitor is connected to a grounded outlet, and without it, some effects may not work.
