MSI Launches MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 a 500Hz 1440p Gaming Monitor
MSI has announced the launch of its flagship QD-OLED gaming monitor, MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50. Initially unveiled at Computex, this monitor is one of the first QD-OLED monitors in the world to achieve a 500Hz refresh rate at QHD(1440p) resolution and, thus, meant for professional and enthusiast gamers.
Display Quality and Performance
Designed to deliver high-end visual performance, the MPG 271QR employs Samsung's 3rd generation QD-OLED panel. Important display parameters include:
- Contrast and Color: 1.5M:1 contrast for deep blacks and a wide gamut, covering 98% AdobeRGB, 99% DCI-P3, and 138% sRGB.
- Brightness and HDR: Certified for VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500, peak brightness amounts to 1000 nits, while standard brightness is 300 nits in SDR and 515 in HDR mode.
- Connectivity for Uncompressed Visuals: The monitor is equipped with the latest DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20 interface, which has a bandwidth of up to 80 Gbps. This allows the display of uncompressed visuals even on high resolution and refresh rate.
The stand is adjustable for ergonomic use.
OLED Care 3.0 Advanced Burn-in Prevention
The new MSI OLED Care 3.0, aimed at lengthening the life of the screen while preventing its image burn-in, is yet another important feature of this monitor. This technology incorporates several functions of an AI Care Sensor:
- Presence Detection: A CMOS sensor detects human presence every 0.2 seconds. If the user is absent, it can automatically turn off the display to safeguard the panel.
- Privacy and Security: MSI maintains that the AI Care Sensor works locally, without internet access, and does not save or upload any data it collects. It is intended to detect the human presence and not other objects.
- Multi-Platform Support: The application can be operated via the operating system in "System Mode" (for Windows 11) or directly via the monitor's OSD in "Monitor Mode", thus enabling Mac, Linux, and gaming console usage.
- Adaptive Brightness and Color: The sensor is also in control of Adaptive Dimming which dims brightness in instances when the user is not looking at the screen, Auto Brightness Control, and Auto Color Temperature Control, modifying the display on the basis of the surrounding environment.
