MSI is moving quickly to launch new 27-inch gaming monitors. Last week, the company hinted that the MAG 272UP X24 will be released globally as a more affordable alternative to the MPG 272URX, which has been on the market for a few months (curr. $1,099 on Amazon).
New Monitor on the Horizon
Recently, TFTCentral revealed that MSI is also working on another 27-inch monitor called the MAG 274UPDF E16M. Unlike the MAG 272UP X24 and MPG 272URX, which both use Gen 4 QD-OLED panels from Samsung Display, the MAG 274UPDF E16M opts for an IPS panel. This panel appears to be identical to one used by Xiaomi in their recent Redmi Monitor G Pro 27U.
Impressive Specifications
The MAG 274UPDF E16M boasts 4K resolution and a refresh rate of 160 Hz with an impressive 0.5 ms GtG response time. If needed, the monitor can switch to 1080p to provide 320 Hz visuals, but it seems this option is available only through its single DisplayPort 1.4a (HBR3) port. No matter the resolution or refresh rate you select, the MAG 274UPDF E16M covers an impressive 98%, 100%, and 123% of the DCI-P3, AdobeRGB, and sRGB colour spaces, respectively.
Brightness and Color Features
One of the standout features of the MAG 274UPDF E16M is its 1,152 Mini LED local dimming zones, which enable it to achieve 400 nits SDR and a peak HDR brightness of 1,000 nits. It also holds a VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification and boasts a Delta E≤2 colour accuracy. While the pricing and availability details are still under wraps, the listing of the MAG 274UPDF E16M on MSI’s global site hints that it might eventually see a worldwide launch, similar to the MAG 272UP X24.
