To summarize, the company announced the MPG 272QR X50 in January, along with the MPG 272URX, which is currently priced at $1,034.99 on Amazon. Earlier this month, they introduced the MAG 272QP X50, which shares many specifications with the MPG 272QR X50. Following that, they also showcased the MPG 271QR X50, which uses the same QD-OLED panel technology.
Rebranding and Production Plans
According to TFTCentral, MSI has actually rebranded the MPG 272QR X50 to become the MPG 271QR X50. From information gathered at Computex 2025, MSI aims to start production of the MPG 271QR X50 this July, with a planned release ‘around September’. TFTCentral mentions that the monitor is expected to be priced at $899, but there’s no additional information on pricing in other regions yet.
Availability and Pricing of MAG 272QP X50
On the other hand, the MAG 272QP X50 is already said to be in production and is expected to be released globally in July. MSI’s global website listing supports this claim, and the monitor is already available in China for CNY 5,999 (approximately $829). Reports indicate that the MAG 272QP X50 will be priced at $849 in the US, making it just $50 less than the MPG 272QR X50.
Specifications and Features Comparison
To wrap it up, the MPG 272QR X50 features DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR20) connectivity, a 98 W USB Type-C port, USB Type-A ports, and the latest OLED Care 3.0 technologies supported by MSI’s ‘AI Care Sensor’. In contrast, the MAG 272QP X50 comes with DisplayPort 1.4, a 15 W USB Type-C port, lacks USB Type-A ports, and uses the older OLED Care 2.0 technology. These differences arguably make the MPG 272QR X50 a more appealing choice than the MAG 272QP X50, especially given their similar price points. Consequently, TFTCentral speculates that MSI might adjust the pricing of the MAG 272QP X50 once the MPG 272QR X50 is officially launched.
