MSI has unveiled its latest addition to the gaming monitor lineup, the MAG 274QP QD-OLED. This new model brings high-performance features to the mid-range segment, making advanced technology more accessible to gamers. With the introduction of Samsung’s 3rd Gen OLED panel, MSI continues to enhance the visual experience for gaming enthusiasts.
Enhanced Features of the MAG 274QP QD-OLED
MSI’s MAG 274QP QD-OLED monitor is designed to offer a superior gaming experience with its 26.5-inch display and 2440 x 1440p resolution. The monitor boasts a refresh rate of up to 240 Hz, ensuring seamless gameplay, and incorporates Adaptive Sync technology to eliminate screen tearing. It is VESA certified for ClearMR 13000, reducing motion blur significantly. The monitor’s response time is as low as 0.03 ms GtG, and it covers an extensive color gamut, including 99% DCI-P3, 98% Adobe RGB, and 138% sRGB. This makes it suitable for both gaming and professional color grading.
Specifications and Market Position
The MAG 274QP QD-OLED, priced at $499, shares many specifications with the earlier MAG 272QP model but includes the latest Samsung 3rd Gen QD-OLED panel. The monitor’s color accuracy stands out with a Delta E of less than 2, and it supports true 10-bit color depth, delivering up to 1.07 billion colors. However, like its predecessor, the brightness falls short, offering 200 nits in SDR and 400 nits in HDR. A notable change is the omission of the USB Type C port with Alt DP, and the monitor is 1 kg heavier than the previous model.
The MAG 274QP QD-OLED’s use of Samsung’s 3rd Gen QD-OLED panel marks a significant step forward in display technology for MSI’s gaming monitors. Despite its higher price point compared to its predecessor, the advancements in panel technology and visual performance are expected to justify the cost over time.
