MSI has added a new gaming monitor to its collection, featuring another Gen 3 QD-OLED choice. The company utilized Samsung Display’s 27-inch and 1440p (2.5K) screen, which was initially launched with a 360 Hz refresh rate in models like the MAG 271QPX and MPG 271QRX.
New Entry-Level Monitor
The latest MAG 274QP X24 adopts the same 240 Hz option found in the MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2 and MAG 271QP X24 (currently priced at $597.99 on Amazon). From what we observe, the MAG 274QP X24 is now considered MSI’s budget-friendly choice due to its lower price and reduced brightness levels. Specifically, it offers 200 nits in SDR mode and 400 nits in HDR mode, which is lower than the 250 nits and 450 nits available on other similar gaming monitors.
Impressive Features
Despite these limitations, the MAG 274QP X24 still boasts a remarkable 0.03 ms GtG response time, VESA ClearMR 13000 certification, and 99% DCI-P3 color coverage with ΔE ≤2 factory color calibration. Additionally, this monitor supports Adaptive Sync and includes optimized profiles for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X consoles. Furthermore, MSI has equipped it with DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 ports, although it lacks a USB hub.
Pricing and Availability
The MAG 274QP X24 is listed at $499.99 in the United States, but it’s not available directly from MSI’s website yet. In contrast, both Amazon and Newegg have not listed the MAG 274QP X24 in stock as of the time this was written. However, customers can pre-order MSI’s newest 27-inch gaming monitor from Best Buy Canada for CAD$549 (about $397).
