MSI advertises the MAG 271QP QD-OLED X24 as the best OLED gaming monitor with a fast refresh rate for budget users. It also delivers convincing and accurate color representation.
The MAG 271QP from MSI is another 240Hz display that doesn’t necessarily aim to impress with an extremely high resolution but rather with a fast panel and likely better color reproduction. The 27-inch WQHD gaming display has a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels. Compared to 4K resolution, this should naturally result in lower demands, especially on the graphics card, for displaying a high refresh rate. The WQHD resolution is quite typical for gaming monitors.
The panel supports a gray-to-gray response time of 0.03 milliseconds and a refresh rate of 240 Hz—Adaptive-Sync support for synchronizing the graphics card’s image output with the monitor’s image display. The maximum brightness is 1,000 cd/m² (3% APL), and the contrast ratio is 1,500,000:1.
The adaptive sync OLED display device is advertised as having 98 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, with a color deviation of less than 2 at Delta E, meaning colors don’t appear significantly distorted. The QD-OLED panel is said to be protected from burn-in by various measures. For example, static image content is detected, pixel shifting is also present, and a heatsink is designed to prevent the individual OLEDs from overheating.
A crosshair color that complements the background can appear, along with a magnification in the center of the image. The monitor includes two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4a, but it lacks a USB hub.
