When Samsung unveiled the world’s first 27-inch 4K gaming OLED monitor on Thursday, Engadget’s Igor Bonifacic predicted that different distributors would quickly observe swimsuit. (In any case, Samsung can be the most important provider of OLED gaming monitor panels.) Positive sufficient, MSI adopted swimsuit the identical day at CES 2025 with two displays with acquainted specs: a 27-inch 4K QD-OLED show and a 27-inch QD-OLED one with a crazy-smooth 500Hz refresh price.
First up: the 27-inch 4K QD-OLED one, marketed to perfection because the… MPG 272URX QD-OLED. (Positive, why not!) MSI is differentiating its monitor as the primary one to mix that panel with DisplayPort 2.1a, which might present a greater mixture of decision and body charges. Like Samsung’s equal (the G81SF), it has a 240Hz refresh price and will look good and crisp at 166 PPI.
MSI says this panel “considerably reduces shade fringing,” which ought to assist with the poor textual content readability too typically customary of QD-OLED screens. As my colleague Igor factors out, this could possibly be a perfect do-it-all monitor for gaming, work or the rest you’ll be able to throw at it.
It helps NVIDIA’s G-SYNC tech, so {smooth} gameplay received’t doubtless be a priority. The MPG 272URX QD-OLED even took house a CES 2025 Innovation Award.
The 27-inch QHD QD-OLED mannequin additionally has a catchy and memorable title: the MPG 272QR QD-OLED X50. (Sure!) MSI is advertising and marketing this monitor to “all of the mainstream avid gamers on the market,” doubtless because of its decrease (2,560 x 1,440) decision. It additionally makes use of DisplayPort 2.1a and (like Samsung’s) can have a 0.03ms gray-to-gray pixel response time. It acquired VESA ClearMR 21000 certification, so movement blur shouldn’t be a problem when having fun with its blistering 500Hz refresh price.
MSI hasn’t but shared pricing or launch date data for both mannequin.
