The MSI MAG 255XFV gaming monitor, unveiled mid-year, now has a sister model. Known as the MAG 255XF, this new model features a 24.5-inch Rapid IPS panel. Additionally, it offers a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a 300 Hz refresh rate, HDR support, and a fast 0.5 ms gray-to-gray response time.

According to the specs, you can expect a 10-bit color depth (8-bit + FRC), 120 percent sRGB, 90 percent DCI-P3, 250 cd/m² typical brightness, and a 1000:1 contrast. Adaptive Sync is listed as an anti-tearing measure. You can also use an AI-supported black stabilizer (AI Vision) and a smart crosshair overlay.
The interface selection includes two HDMI 2.0b inputs, a DisplayPort 1.4a, and a headphone output. The maximum refresh rate on HDMI is 240 Hz, so the full 300 Hz is only possible on the DisplayPort. When it comes to ergonomics, you should consider utilizing features like tilt adjustment, a VESA mount (100 x 100 mm), blue light filtering, and flicker-reduced backlighting.
