Panel Details

From what we can gather, the MPG 242R X60N utilizes the same panel technology as its competitors. It comes with a 24.1-inch TN panel, offering a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. The viewing angles are 170° horizontally and 160° vertically, while the contrast ratio stands at 1,000:1. The brightness peaks at 350 nits, or 500 nits when in HDR mode. It is said to cover 89% of the AdobeRGB and 93% of the DCI-P3 color spaces, which should enable the MPG 242R X60N to provide 0.1 ms GtG response times, enhanced by MSI’s Adaptive-Sync technology.

Connectivity Options

MSI has equipped this monitor with various ports including DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1, along with three USB 2.0 Type-A ports, one USB 2.0 Type-B port, and a USB Type-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and 98 W Power Delivery. Although MSI has yet to announce the pricing and availability details, it is worth noting that BenQ currently lists a similar model, the Zowie XL2586X+, at a price of $999.99. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that the MPG 242R X60N will also be priced on the higher side.
