Key Takeaways
1. MSI has launched a new 27-inch gaming monitor, the MAG 272QP X50, featuring QD-OLED panels from Samsung Display.
2. The MAG 272QP X50 has a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 and a native output of 500 Hz, similar to the MPG 272QR X50.
3. It is VESA ClearMR 21000 and DisplayHDR True Black 500 certified, with a fast 0.03 ms GtG response time.
4. The monitor will be available in China starting May 16, priced at CNY 5,999 (~$829), making it cheaper than the MPG 272URX.
5. The MAG models often have fewer ports or downgraded features compared to the MPG models, which may apply to the MAG 272QP X50 as well.
MSI has shown off yet another new 27-inch gaming monitor, just a day after announcing a Mini LED-backed version for worldwide availability. This time, the company has introduced the MAG 272QP X50, marking a return to their regular use of QD-OLED panels from Samsung Display.
Previous Models
To summarize, earlier this year, MSI revealed the MPG 272URX and MPG 272QR X50. However, at the moment, only the MPG 272URX (curr. $1,099.99 on Amazon) can be bought. Recently, MSI also introduced a more affordable option to the MPG 272URX called the MAG 272UP X24. Now, they have done something similar for the MPG 272QR X50 by bringing out the MAG 272QP X50.
Specifications
From what we know, both monitors use the same Gen 4 QD-OLED panel with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 and a native output of 500 Hz. Reportedly, the MAG 272QP X50 is VESA ClearMR 21000 and DisplayHDR True Black 500 certified, matching the MPG 272QR X50. Additionally, the MAG 272QP X50 boasts a 0.03 ms GtG response time, just like its counterpart in the MPG series.
Availability and Pricing
According to the website, MSI plans to start selling the MAG 272QP X50 on May 16 in China. ITHome has confirmed that this monitor will have a price of CNY 5,999 (~$829), making it CNY 1,000 (~$138) cheaper than the MPG 272URX. For now, it’s not clear how MSI has differentiated the MAG 272QP X50 from the MPG 272QR X50. Typically, the MAG models come with fewer or downgraded ports than their MPG counterparts, which might include missing USB ports.
