MSI has announced that several of its QD-OLED gaming monitors will support the EOTF Boost feature out of the box, achieving 1000 nits of brightness.
MSI's Latest & Upcoming QD-OLED Gaming Monitors Feature "Factory" EOTF Boost Support, Remaining Models To Receive Firmware Support In August For Up To 1000 nits Brightness
Last month, it was revealed that MSI was bringing a new feature to its QD-OLED gaming monitor lineup, known as EOTF boost. This feature was essentially going to improve the brightness level of MSI's OLED lineup.
As per MSI, EOTF boost delivers much higher brightness levels (up to 1000 nits) compared to standard HDR 1000 modes. This is achieved under the same APL (Average Picture Level) conditions, and is great for users who desire higher levels of brightness. Monitor's Unboxed, a sister channel of Hardware Unboxed, revealed that EOTF Boost wasn't only a fix to QD-OLED's brightness levels, but also provided better clarity while gaming or standard use.
Today, MSI has announced that EOTF boost will be available as a "Factory" option in its latest monitors, such as the:
- MAG 322UP QD-OLED E16
- MAG 272QP QD-OLED X50
- MAG 271QP QD-OLED X28
- MAG 272QPW QD-OLED X28
- Future Models
In addition to these, the remaining MSI QD-OLED lineup will also be receiving support for EOTF boost through a firmware update, which is expected to land sometime this month (August). The feature will be enabled in the OSD menu as a new HDR mode.
Besides the EOTF Boost announcement, MSI is also holding a promotional discount across several of its QD-OLED monitors in China. The promotion gives users up to 100 RMB discount on select models that are listed in the chart below:
