Review with characteristics, price and specifications

Will not catch anyone by surprise that The next step In the most premium gaming world it is OLED. This technology, reserved until recently for televisions, He has been penetrating the monitors for a few years And, little by little, it has become the spearhead of manufacturers.

I have been using gaming monitors for many years: First a zowie with TN panel And then some IPS of AOC and Huawei. I hadn’t had the opportunity to try an OLED monitor, so far. I have been with the new MPG 272urx QD-OED MSI and experience has been, and is being superlative.

The jump to OLED

A monitor that endures. I think MSI has done a good job with the foot and base. The Peana has enormous stability and allows you to adjust the inclination in every way. It would have been the Repeanocha to be able to raise the monitor a little more than allowed, but the available height is acceptable. The foot is big, nothing out of the ordinary, but enough for us to need a wide desk. I have left it in the face of trying it during the analysis, but if my personal monitor would have arm hung Without a doubt.

All by hand. Accustomed to my IPS monitor, using a screen with the cuts trimmed is a delight. They do not reach the end as in mobile phones, but they are well worked so that they are barely noticed. The control zone, located in the lower area, allows us to quickly access the OSD (the menus to control the monitor) and all the ports are easily accessible. The number of options and ports is wide, but what we will appreciate most is the Switch KVM To control two computers at the same time connecting the peripherals to the monitor.

And speaking of ports. MSI has not left anything behind. The monitor incorporates two ports HDMI 2.1a Displayport 2.1a (UHBR20) and a USB type C capable of delivering up to 98W of power. What does that mean? That the monitor admits 4K at 240 Hz via HDMI U 8K at 60 Hz through Displayport (without DSC) and is able to feed a laptop he alone. Do you remember the Switch KVM? Now he charges all the meaning of the world.

An impeccable reality. The bulk of the population will not be able to take advantage of the Displayport 2.1a port. This requires last generation graphics cards that are faces and what Few users have. You can use your Displayport 1.4 cable (or HDMI 2.1 if you use consoles) without any problem and the experience will be very good. Moreover, you are quite likely to be forced to do so because one of the great inconveniences of UHBR20 is the one that cable is one meter. Just have the tower on the ground so that the cable does not arrive.

But let’s talk about the screen. This monitor mounts A third generation QD-OED panel Manufactured by Samsung. It has a diagonal of 26.5 inches, 240 Hz of refreshment and 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160 pixels), so we are talking about a density of 166 pixels per inch. It is an absolute barbarity and translates into several things, but what we are going to notice with the naked eye is the sharpness of the texts.

The QD-OED panels They have a problem and that is that the separation between the pixels derived from their matrix can cause a kind of aberration to appear in high contrast areas. For example, on the edge of a black text on a white background we will see a finite pink line. That is solved with a greater resolution and that is what happens in this case. This effect disappears completely on this monitor. We will notice if we zoom and physically approach the screen, but it is not something that we are going to do on a day -to -day basis.

Brightness and brightness. The Anti -Capa does a quite a good job in general, but nothing can with the brightness of a window located just in front of the monitor or a strong light source on the sides, as is my case. I have a window just behind and, even if it hides well, I can appreciate it. That said, the antiglare layer works well, but does not magic.

As for the sprocket of the monitor, we are talking about 250 nits in SDR, 450 nits in True Black 400 and up to 1,000 nits (in a reduced percentage of the screen) activating the Peak 1000 mode. We can also alternate between templates for the SRGB, Delta P3 and Adobe RGB color spaces. I recommend True Black 400 for general use, but Peak 1000 gets brutal quality, especially if our room is dark. I recommend trying it, at least once, with the dark room and with a movie like ‘Interstellar’ or ‘Avatar’.

About those burned. Although OLED technology has improved a lot, panels based on it are still susceptible to burned. The reality? It is very likely to pass, late to do it. We may notice it with a faster speed if we use the monitor alone and exclusively to use a clear background app (imagine to use it eight hours with Word or Excel, for example) or games with brilliant static elements (the hud of a shooter), but the truth is that 1) has several passive care options to refresh the pixels and avoid the burning and 2) is not something that we can measure in the time that lasts a time that lasts an analysis.

In the day to day. The experience with the monitor is excellent in all aspects. I have used it to work (I write this using the monitor, in fact) and also to play and the performance is superb. The image quality is very good and the depth of blacks that the QD-OED panel gives is something that must be experienced for oneself. I loved that I have not had to adjust colorimetry or walk the profiles. The panel is very well calibrated from the factory so if you are looking for a monitor that you can plug and start without eating your head, this is an option.

Game a lot to ‘Devil IV‘And doing it in a monitor like this is sensational, not only because of how good the shadows are seen, but for how brilliant the color is and how the lightning layout stands out. In games that require more fps, like a type ‘shooter’Delta Force‘, 240 Hz know how to shine for themselves. Playing in 4K at 240 fps, however, is one thing just suitable for state-of-the-art cards with DLSS, FSR and G-SNC, which already puts on the table that this monitor is not suitable for all computers.

In history games, where graphic quality does have a potential real impact on experience, the MPG 272urx QD-OED has managed to convince me. I am not a person who stops to appreciate how beautiful the landscape is seen in the background, but when QD-OED technology, the well-managed HDR and a graphic card up to height, the truth is that the truth is that it is to get stunned. Nor am I one of those who play console in a monitor and this is the first time that I really thought about doing so.

A monitor that is not for everyone. MSI may have one of the best monitors in general and QD-OED in particular of the market right now in its catalog. It is a device that is easy to fall in love and whose great negative aspect is its price. We are talking about a bug that touches the 1,200 eurosmore expensive than many complete computers. It is a price far away from the bulk pockets of players and looks in front of a very comprete profile: to which it has a RTX 50 with DLSS 4.

It is, however, a future commitment. If we are putting together a PC and we want the best of the best, this is one of the monitors that we should contemplate in our budget. The size is fantastic, the resolution is very high and the quality of the QD-OED panel is outstanding. Is it possible that the QHD model with 360 Hz offers a similar and cheaper experience? Without a doubt, but the most premium has a price and, luckily, we can say that it shows.
