Other than ASUS, GIGABYTE, and Samsung, MSI has also launched its flagship QD-OLED gaming monitor with a 500Hz refresh rate at 1440p resolution.
MSI Releases Its Fastest QD-OLED Gaming Monitor, MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 at $974; Comes Equipped With DP 2.1 UHBR20 for Uncompressed Visuals; Also Debuts Latest OLED Care 3.0 for Preventing Image Burn-in
Popular hardware and peripherals manufacturer, MSI, has launched its fastest and flagship gaming monitor called MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50, which it showcased at Computex a few months ago. It's one of the world's first QD-OLED gaming monitors to reach a 500Hz refresh rate at 1440p resolution. In recent days, we have seen a couple of monitor makers launching their own 500Hz models, and today, MSI joined them in offering its enthusiast-grade QD-OLED gaming monitor for professionals and enthusiasts.
MPG 271QR uses Samsung's 3rd gen QD-OLED panel and achieves great contrast of 1.5M:1 for deeper blacks. The monitor also offers a wide color gamut, including color spaces like 98% AdobeRGB, 99% DCI-P3, and 138% sRGB for vibrant visuals. The display is also VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certified, enhancing visual quality greatly, and can reach up to 1000 nits of Peak brightness while offering a good 300 nits in SDR and 515 nits in HDR mode typically.
The monitor also gets the latest DP 2.1 UHBR20 interface that offers up to 80 Gbps of total bandwidth, allowing the monitor to display uncompressed visuals, which is crucial for high-resolution and high refresh rate monitors like the MPG 271QR. MSI MPG 271QR uses a highly ergonomic stand for various adjustments, ensuring gamers can use it as per their needs and comfort.
The MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 is launched at 6,999 Yuan or around US$974.
That said, this monitor will also carry the latest MSI OLED Care 3.0 technology, which brings enhanced features over the OLED Care 2.0. Unlike the latter, the OLED Care 3.0 offers an AI Care Sensor that can sense human presence to control the display content. It uses a CMOS sensor to capture images every 0.2 seconds, detecting human presence and automatically shutting off the display when needed. This helps it eliminate image burn-in, which is common on regular OLED panels. Since privacy can be a thing of concern, MSI says that the AI Care Sensor isn't connected to the internet and does its job locally.
Moreover, it is not built to detect any other object except for the human presence and doesn't have any capability to store or upload the data. The AI Care Sensor offers System and Monitor modes, allowing users, such as Windows 11 owners, to control the feature through the Windows 11 OS or control through the monitor OSD using the Monitor Mode, enabling the feature on multiple platforms such as Mac, Linux, and even consoles.
The AI Care Sensor also brings Adaptive Dimming Support for reducing teh brightness when the user is not looking at the display to extend the lifespan of the display. Moreover, it features Auto Brightness Control and Auto Color Temperature Control for adjusting the display's brightness and color tone according to the surroundings.
