When Samsung revealed the world's very first 27-inch 4K video gaming OLED keep track of on Thursday, Engadget's Igor Bonifacic anticipated that other suppliers would quickly do the same. (After all, Samsung is likewise the greatest provider of OLED video gaming display panels.) Sure enough, MSI did the same the very same day at CES 2025 with 2 displays with familiar specifications: a 27-inch 4K QD-OLED screen and a 27-inch QD-OLED one with a crazy-smooth 500Hz revitalize rate.
Up: the 27-inch 4K QD-OLED one, marketed to excellence as the … MPG 272URX QD-OLED. (Sure, why not!) MSI is distinguishing its display as the very first one to integrate that panel with DisplayPort 2.1 a, which can supply a much better mix of resolution and frame rates. Like Samsung's comparable (the G81SF), it has a 240Hz revitalize rate and ought to look good and crisp at 166 PPI.
MSI states this panel “considerably minimizes color fringing,” which need to assist with the bad text clearness frequently traditional of QD-OLED screens. As my coworker Igor explains, this might be a perfect do-it-all screen for video gaming, work or anything else you can toss at it.
It supports NVIDIA's G-SYNC tech, so smooth gameplay will not likely be an issue. The MPG 272URX QD-OLED even took home a CES 2025 Innovation Award.
The 27-inch QHD QD-OLED design likewise has an appealing and remarkable name: the MPG 272QR QD-OLED X50. (Yes!) MSI is marketing this display to “all the mainstream players out there,” likely due to its lower (2,560 x 1,440) resolution. It likewise utilizes DisplayPort 2.1 a and (like Samsung's) can have a 0.03 ms gray-to-gray pixel action time. It got VESA ClearMR 21000 accreditation, so movement blur should not be a problem when enjoying its blistering 500Hz revitalize rate.
MSI hasn't yet shared prices or release date information for either design.
