This monitor is seriously impressive. The colors are incredibly vibrant, and everything looks sharp whether I’m gaming or watching movies. The OLED panel makes a noticeable difference compared to regular monitors, and the slim design fits well on my desk.Setup was easy, just had to connect the mount to the monitor and the monitor already came with the necessary cables to plug into my desktop.What really stands out is the performance. With a 360Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time, the gameplay feels super smooth.HDR is solid too. Dark scenes actually stay dark without losing detail, thanks to DisplayHDR True Black 400. Plus, MSI’s OLED Care 2.0 helps prevent burn-in, which is reassuring for long gaming sessions.Overall, if you want an OLED gaming monitor with great visuals and performance, this one’s definitely worth it.

The OLED screen offers a stunning visual experience with its vibrant colors, deep blacks, and infinite contrast, thanks to its self-emissive pixels. Its ultra-fast response time ensures smooth motion with minimal blur, while exceptional viewing angles maintain color accuracy from any perspective. OLED technology is energy-efficient, extending battery life on portable devices, and its thinner, lighter design contributes to sleek and modern aesthetics. With high brightness and HDR capabilities, it enhances visual depth and realism, making it ideal for professional content creation. Unlike traditional LCDs, OLED eliminates the need for a backlight, improving efficiency and enabling innovative designs such as foldable and curved displays.

This monitor is a CERTIFIED FREAK. Now that my eyes have experienced QD-OLED I have been totally ruined. Nothing else looks good anymore. I have a 2023 16" MBP and a 2024 15" MBA and even though the MBP has a better display than the MBA, it looks like trash (exaggerating) compared to the MSI monitor. Seriously though, the MBP display is very quality, but it's just not quite as good as the QD-OLED, which I guess is to be expected.I was in the market for a monitor that would connect to my laptops with a single cable (i.e., USB-C PD) and this thing delivers. I was doing a good amount of searching and AFAIK very few monitors can deliver 90 W through the USB-C port. That alone was a huge benefit for me, since the MBP comes with a 140 W adapter and the monitors that have 15 W PD just wouldn't cut it. That kind of PD wouldn't even cut it for the MBA which comes with a 35 W adapter.I love love love this monitor. I upgraded from a 27" Dell (model S2721DGF) which was great in every way except it didn't have USB-C PD. Connecting to my laptops wasn't a huge problem since the MBP has a HDMI port but the MBA only has USB-C ports and so I was having to use an adapter. And of course I would have to have a power cable plugged in to the laptops if I wanted to use them in clamshell mode. Not anymore!! Now my desk setup is that much more streamlined.Oh and by the way can we talk about the ungodly refresh rate and response time/input lag? These things aren't at all important if you're not gaming, but if you are... oh boy. I game on Xbox Series X and PS5 which can display 4K or 2K at 120 Hz, so the beastly 360 Hz of the MSI monitor isn't even being taken full advantage of. The Dell monitor can display 2K at 120 Hz as well (it's actually spec'd to deliver 144 Hz over HDMI for gaming on a PC), and its response time was 1-4 milliseconds. The MSI monitor's response time, however, is 0.03 milliseconds. Response time is HUGEly important if you're playing FPS games online. I have a 4K 120 Hz OLED Sony Bravia 8 but unfortunately its response time is quite poor for FPS games. Part of the difference I was experiencing with the Bravia 8 compared to the Dell S2721DGF may have been due to screen size (55" vs 27"), but I think it had more to do with response time / input lag. I preferred the 1440p at 120 Hz on the Dell monitor over the 4K at 120 Hz of the Bravia 8 TV.Cons: My only complaint is that MacOS interprets the monitor as an external drive and whenever I unplug or turn off the MacBooks the "Disk Not Ejected Properly" notification appears. It doesn't matter if you "eject" the monitor "NO NAME" from the Finder window or Desktop icon before unplugging or turning off because since it's still connected it just reappears as an external drive. There have been 3 or 4 firmware updates for the monitor since it came out last year, but in order to install them you need a Windows PC with a DisplayPort 1.4a port and a USB-A port. You connect the monitor to the PC with the included USB-A to USB-B and DisplayPort cables, install the Gaming Intelligence app, and proceed. I haven't done this yet because like I said I use Apple MacBooks, but I'm going to borrow a PC from someone and update the firmware. I'll report back here on whether or not that solves the issue of MacOS detecting the monitor as an external drive. The other problem is that after sleeping or shutting down or disconnecting the laptops from the USB-C cable the monitor will turn itself on and off again several times. I have not figured out how long or how many times or when this happens. It will go from being in standby mode with a black screen and the power LED indicator colored orange (which is what it should be when nothing is delivering an image, to "on" with a black screen and the power LED indicator colored white (which it should not be doing). I'm hopeful that after updating the firmware both this and the external drive problem will be remedied.In summary: the MSI MPG 271 QRX QD-OLED monitor is basically flawless. I don't think it has any competition at the moment. I'm looking forward to even further enhancing my desktop setup with the MSI MPG MT201R monitor arm. I know there are a lot of different monitor arms out there, but after such a positive experience with this monitor (my first ever MSI product) I feel no need to try anything else.

I recently upgraded to the MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED, and wow—this thing is incredible. The colors are insanely vibrant, and everything just looks so crisp, whether I’m gaming or watching movies. The OLED panel makes a huge difference compared to regular monitors, and the slim, modern design fits perfectly on my desk.The real standout is the performance. With a 360Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time, everything feels unbelievably smooth. If you play fast-paced games, you’ll definitely notice the difference—no motion blur, just super responsive gameplay.HDR is also top-notch. Dark scenes actually look dark without losing detail, thanks to DisplayHDR True Black 400. Plus, MSI’s OLED Care 2.0 helps prevent burn-in, which is reassuring for long gaming sessions.If you’re looking for an OLED gaming monitor that delivers on both visuals and speed, this is 100% worth it.

The MPG 271QRX QD-OLED is a good option to consider when upgrading your display. With its 27-inch QD-OLED panel, rich colors and deep contrast enhance both gaming and general multimedia use. It's a great choice for competitive gamers with fast-paced games due to its 240Hz refresh rate and quick response time. The HDR is pretty good, although it may not reach the peak brightness some users are expecting. The design is practical with adjustable ergonomics, and connectivity options cover most needs. While it's on the pricier side, for performance and features, it's a worthwhile consideration for those seeking a high-quality monitor.
