Xiaomi has officially launched the Smart Home Screen Max 27 in China. Despite the name, it’s not a monitor, but a smart display designed primarily as a central hub for Xiaomi’s smart home ecosystem. That said, it can also be used as a large screen for entertainment and some work tasks.
Smart Home Screen Max 27 features a 27-inch touchscreen anti-glare display with a “paper-like” coating and a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. The screen is mounted on a rotating and height-adjustable stand, and five hidden wheels at the base make it easy to move the device around.
The gadget is designed for different usage scenarios: music, karaoke, fitness, and video streaming. You can connect the Xiaomi MIJIA karaoke microphone to it and turn it into a full-fledged Jukebox with real-time lyrics.
