MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2 27-inch 2K Gaming Monitor, 2560 x 1440 (QHD), 0.03ms Response Time, 240Hz, True Black HDR 400, HDMI, DP Port, Tilt and Height Adjustable

Absolutely gorgeous image quality and colors.This really does feel like an endgame monitor for gaming. It’s smooth, it’s crisp, it’s fast, it’s sexy.One small note, if you plan to watch a lot of shows or movies like on Netflix, Max, Prime, etc. You may want to get a 4K monitor since most of these platforms will only play their titles at 1080p. (since 1440p isn’t an option) that is unless you have downloads of movies that display at 4K. (You won’t see it at true 4K but it stills looks GREAT especially with HDR.)

The color accuracy is great and brightness level well above what is the minimum that I require. The refresh rate (240hz) is quite the bonus along with the response rate (0.03), but the true star is the contrast levels and the color's brightness. The software and navigation is quite comfortable and intuitive and MSI has enabled the use of updates for this model which helps further with color accuracy and other quality of life improvement. And talking about quality of life I suggest using MSI QOLED Care as much as possible to avoid burn-in and it takes just a couple of minutes every 4 hours which is reasonable.It is a great monitor and a really good upgrade from a VA panel, not as bright as the Mini Led but bright enough for 80 to 90% of the people and HDR is impressive thanks to the blacks and 0 bleeding, but it is not going to blind you for ever as miniled (I do enjoy the light blasts but compromises are necessary). If you can get it at a discount it probably one of the if not the best option out there for the price point.

I purchased the monitor during Black Friday for a great price! I chose this monitor because I appreciate the quality build of the MSI brand. I previously owned the MSI Optix G27C5, a 1080p / 165 Hz monitor.I recently upgraded my PC build so I wanted a monitor to match its power. I was not disappointed with the MSI 271 QPX OLED. This monitor looks like a mirror when it is off because of its glossiness. Compared to my previous monitor, the icon / text sizes were different because of the enhanced resolution. However, I resolved it by adjusting the scaling in the Windows “display” settings.The Pros:HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4240 Hz is visually smooth as expectedColors are greatText is clear and sharpOLED Care features to prevent burn-in3-year burn-in warrantyThe Cons:Not a curved screenThe stand is a bit bulky and can take up some desk space (VESA arm/mount can resolve this)Overall a great purchase with the quality, display resolution, and functions as expected. I would recommend this monitor.

I’ve wanted a new monitor for a while to take advantage of my gaming pc, and this MSI monitor delivers every aspect I desire. This MSI monitor is bright, vibrant, and has fantastic contrast. The glossy coating helps make images pop, unlike other OLED monitors I saw from Samsung and LG. I was worried I would miss the 4k resolution of my old IPS monitor, but I didn’t. The MAG 271QPX E2 blows my old IPS monitor out of the water, and it’s not even close. Response times are instant, and I immediately noticed that going from 60hz to 240hz was a massive leap in smoothness. Navigation through the menu was simple, and settings were easy to configure. This MSI monitor's ergonomics, design, and build quality are top-notch. Many people complained about text fringing, and while it exists, it is not as big of a deal as many people make it out to be; it’s still very sharp with its 1440p resolution. Another overblown complaint is the purple hue of QD-OLED, and unless you have very, VERY harsh lighting in your room, it’s essentially a non-issue when the monitor is on. In addition, I use this monitor with my Nintendo Switch, which makes playing games brand new again with this QD-OLED Panel. Overall, I highly recommend this monitor to anyone looking into an OLED monitor at a fair price; MSI is the way to go with its 3-year burn-in warranty.

I recently upgraded to the MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED from my previous 1440p IPS monitor, and the difference is striking. The most immediate improvement I noticed was the incredible contrast - blacks are truly black, not the dark grey I was used to. Playing darker games like horror titles or space-based games is a completely different experience now.The 360Hz refresh rate is incredibly smooth, though I'll be honest - the jump from my old 165Hz wasn't as dramatic as I expected. Still, in competitive FPS games, there's a noticeable improvement in motion clarity and responsiveness. The 0.03ms response time eliminates virtually all ghosting, which is great for fast-paced gaming.Colors are vibrant without being oversaturated, and HDR content looks fantastic. I appreciate that the monitor comes with its own calibration report, though I did spend some time tweaking settings to get everything just right for my setup.My main gripes are relatively minor. The mandatory pixel cleaning process can be annoying, especially during longer gaming sessions.For productivity work, text clarity is good, though you might notice some fringing if you sit very close to the screen. I sit about 30 inches away and haven't had any issues. Eye strain can be a factor during long sessions, but taking regular breaks (which we should all do anyway) helps mitigate this.Build quality is solid, and I appreciate the understated design - it doesn't scream "gaming monitor" like some competitors. The stand offers good adjustability, though I ended up mounting it on an arm for better desk space management.For the price point, especially when on sale, this monitor offers exceptional value in the OLED gaming monitor space. While not perfect, it strikes an excellent balance between gaming performance, image quality, and price.Pros:Exceptional contrast and black levelsSuper smooth 360Hz refresh rateMinimal ghostingGreat HDR performanceReasonable price for QD-OLEDCons:Mandatory pixel refresh can be intrusiveSome eye strain during extended usePeak brightness could be higherWould I recommend it? Absolutely, especially if you can catch it on sale. Just be aware of the OLED-specific quirks and maintenance requirements.
