MSI's Display Deluge Continues: Meet the MAG 274UPDF E16M Monitor
Just when you were thinking that MSI is preparing to catch its breath after putting out the global availability of their MAG 272UP X24, they're already doing it again. Seems like MSI is on a roll to give gamers an abundance of 27-inch display options, and their latest entry into the mix is the MAG 274UPDF E16M. This time around, though, they're shaking things up a bit regarding the panel technology.
While newer MSI monitors have been featuring those gorgeous QD-OLED panels (like the one on the gorgeous MPG 272URX), the MAG 274UPDF E16M is different. It's centered around an IPS panel with Mini LED backlighting. What does that mean for you. Blinding brightness and gorgeous contrast.

What's in the Hood of this New Screen.
And what kind of visual feast can you expect from this Mini LED gem. The specifications are certainly salivating:
- Resolution and Refresh Rate Tuning: It natively displays a crisp 4K resolution (3840x2160) at a smooth 160 Hz. But if you're looking for even higher frame rates for esports gaming, you can dial down to 1080p and push it all the way to a blistering 320 Hz. That blazing mode seems to be available via its DisplayPort 1.4a connection.
- Speedy Response: We're talking about 0.5ms GtG response times, crucial for avoiding ghosting and motion blur.
- Color Galore: This monitor has no problem showing off its colors. It promises to cover 98% of the DCI-P3, a full 100% of AdobeRGB, and an impressive 123% of the sRGB color space. Your games and creative work should appear incredibly colorful.
- The Mini LED Magic: Things get seriously interesting now. The MAG 274UPDF E16M boasts at least 1,152 Mini LED local dimming zones. This technology allows for even more precise control over bright and dark screen regions, leading to richer blacks and brighter highlights. It helps the monitor to produce a punchy 400 nits for SDR content and a blinding 1,000 nits peak brightness for HDR.
- Certified Brilliance: It's VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certified, which means you can be certain those HDR scenes will truly pop. And with Delta E≤2 color accuracy, colors will be accurate-to-life right out of the box.
When Can You Get Your Hands On It.
As for when you can get your hands on one and how much it will cost, MSI is keeping mum about that for the time being. But the fact that the MAG 274UPDF E16M is up on MSI's global website is a good sign that, like its newest sibling (the MAG 272UP X24), it's going global. So, keep an eye out.
Evidently, MSI is determined to offer a 27-inch gaming monitor to appeal to almost everyone's taste and budget. The MAG 274UPDF E16M, which comes with Mini LED technology, seems to be the best bet for those in need of the high brightness and stunning HDR but perhaps not venturing into OLED space.
To find the dirty details, however, you should be able to see them on MSI's website.
