MSI has simply confirmed the advised costs for its upcoming 2024 QD-OLED gaming monitor vary. The MSI OLED gaming monitor costs had been initially set to start out at a decrease level with an preliminary promotion however the firm has now determined to stay with these costs completely.
We’ve been impressed with the handful of OLED gaming displays we’ve reviewed up to now, with the likes of the LG 27GR95QE and Samsung Odyssey G9 G95SC providing gorgeous ultra-fast gaming efficiency and, within the case of the Samsung, gorgeous total picture high quality too. That’s why they each make it onto our greatest gaming monitor information. Nonetheless, 2024 is ready to have an excellent broader, extra succesful vary of extra inexpensive OLED panels, similar to these we first noticed at CES 2024, and now we’re beginning to see these thrilling new panels get costs and launch dates.
The three MSI QD-OLED panels which have had their costs confirmed are the MSI MPG 271QRX, MSI MPG 321URX, and MSI MPG 491CQP. These are the 27-inch, 32-inch, and 49-inch panels respectively, with the 271QRX sporting a 2,560 x 1,440 decision and 360Hz refresh price, the 321URX having a 240Hz 4K panel, and the 491CQP having a 5,120 x 1,440 decision and 144Hz refresh price, which is notably decrease than the Samsung G95SC’s 240Hz refresh price.
Whereas the costs, which had been revealed by Screens Unboxed, are nonetheless fairly excessive, they’re not unhealthy contemplating the specs. The 271QRX is $799.99, the 321URX is $949.99, and the 491CQP is $1,099.99.
The standout of these is the 491CQP, which undercuts the Samsung G95SC by $300 at that panel’s present retail worth, however is $700 decrease than its MSRP. Sure, it’s does have a slower refresh price however that’s nonetheless some unimaginable specs for the worth.
The 321URX can also be priced competitively. One of many points we’ve had with a number of OLED gaming displays up to now is that they’re not as sharp a the identical pixel density as LCD screens. As such, the mix of a 4K decision on a 32-inch display screen measurement ought to fully overcome that challenge, making textual content look good and sharp. Then, after all, you’ve get a 240Hz refresh price and 0.03ms response time to mess around with in terms of enjoying one of the best PC video games.
Maybe the least compelling worth is the 271QRX, which is actually aggressive for a 27-inch 1440p OLED, particularly when its refresh price of 360Hz is 120Hz quicker than the likes of the $700 LG 27GR95QE. However, That’s nonetheless an enormous sum contemplating the above points we’ve talked about with decrease pixel density OLEDs having solely mediocre sharpness in terms of studying textual content, and the diminishing returns of 360Hz over 240Hz.
One profit that can come to all these MSI shows that the corporate hasn’t beforehand provided is that they’ll have a 3 12 months warrant for burn-in. That largely matches most opponents, moderately than outshining them, nevertheless it’s nonetheless a notably inclusion that mixed with the very fact these panels use Samsung’s third-generation QD-OLED (that’s quantum dot OLED), which is brighter and much more burn-in resistant than ever, and also you’ve bought a recipe for some extremely fascinating shows.
Nonetheless, we’re so glad to lastly see OLED screens develop into simply slightly bit extra inexpensive, with a number of extra various choices of display screen measurement, decision, and refresh price. In case your price range isn’t more likely to stretch to any of those panels, although, you possibly can at all times try the opposite choices in our greatest gaming monitor information, which incorporates are big selection of sizes, decision, refresh charges and budgets.
