MSI is looking to expand its QD-OLED monitor range. This time they might target the budget gamer. The MAG 273QP X24 is a 27-inch monitor that could take QD-OLED technology to more gamers.
MSI MAG 273QP X24 Gaming Monitor: Quick Spec Overview
The MAG 273QP X24 has decent specifications for a gaming monitor:
- Panel Type: QD-OLED (from Samsung Display we think)
- Size: 27" (26.5" by some sources)
- Resolution: 2560 x 1440 (1440p)
- Refresh Rate: 240Hz
- Response Time: 0.03ms GtG
- Peak Brightness: 1000nits (at 3% APL)
- Color: 10-bit color depth, wide color-gamut coverage (138% sRGB and 93% DCI-P3 mentioned)
Connectivity and Ergonomics
For connecting devices and getting comfortable, the MAG 273QP X24 seems to offer:
- Video Inputs: 1 x DisplayPort 1.4a, 2 x HDMI 2.1
- Stand Adjustability: Height, Pivot, Tilt, and Swivel
- VESA Mount: 100x100mm support for monitor arms
QD-OLED for Less
The "MAG" series from MSI usually sits under the "MPG" series. This indicates a mainstream or budget-oriented approach. To keep costs low, it looks like MSI cut some corners:
- No USB Ports: Compared to some high-end models, no USB ports appear. This simplifies connectivity and perhaps costs.
- Adaptive-Sync: Instead of FreeSync Premium Pro, it's listed with standard Adaptive-Sync. This is another cost-cutting move.
Possible Pricing and Release
Pricing and availability remain under wraps. Depending on its position within the MAG series and its slight difference in specs relative to more expensive models, there are hopes that the MAG 273QP X24 will be one of the cheaper 27-inch QD-OLEDs when released. We will monitor for official announcements from MSI.
