The new MSI MPG 491CQPX QD-OLED gaming monitor features a native 5120 x 1440 resolution, which is the same as having 2 x 1440p (2560 x 1440, so 2560 x 2 = 5120) displays side-by-side, without any bezel. A gigantic 49-inch QD-OLED panel at 240Hz, ready for those next-level experiences in games like Flight Simulator, or a multitude of space and driving games.

MSI has a response time of just 0.03ms GtG on the MPG 491CQPX QD-OLED gaming monitor, so when mixed with the 5120 x 1440 resolution and 240Hz refresh rate, you're in for one hell of a (great-looking) and ultra-smooth gaming experience.

The company is using a custom heatsink and graphene-based film to keep the 49-inch QD-OLED cool, with fantastic thermal conductivity through graphene versus using an active fan, making MSI's new MPG 491CQPX QD-OLED gaming monitor completely silent during operation.
