Overview
Most OLED monitors in recent years have been aimed specifically at gaming enthusiasts, with a few exceptions such as the Asus ProArt OLED ($1,699 on Amazon). With the Pro Max 271UPXW12G, MSI now offers another monitor for professional users, which should work perfectly not only with Windows, but also with macOS. On the one hand, the MSI M-Mate app makes setting color profiles and brightness more convenient. And on the other hand, the monitor is equipped with a USB-C port that can charge MacBooks with up to 98 watts. A second USB-C port supplies up to 15 watts of power, which is enough to charge an Apple iPad, for example. Alternatively, two HDMI 2.1 and one DisplayPort 1.4a are also available. MSI installs 2 x 2.5 watt stereo speakers and includes a height-adjustable stand.
Display and Color Performance
The highlight of the equipment is the 26.5-inch QD OLED panel, which offers a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels, a frame rate of 120 Hz and a peak HDR brightness of 1,000 nits. According to MSI, 99% of the DCI-P3 color space can be displayed and 97.5% of Adobe RGB. A coating that MSI calls “DarkArmor” is said to make black appear 40 percent darker in daylight, as less ambient light is reflected, while the display is 2.5 times more scratch-resistant as a result.
