The new MSI MPG 272URX QD-OLED gaming monitor is one of the first in the world to feature a 27-inch 4K 240Hz QD-OLED panel, further increasing the pixel density of 27-inch 4K OLED monitors. The current fleet of 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED gaming monitors have around 111 PPI of pixel density, while the new MPG 272URX QD-OLED gaming monitor features a much denser 166 PPI, which should look utterly gorgeous in the flesh.

MSI is using a new Samsung Display QD-OLED panel, with the company saying it's a "5-layer Tandom OLED panel with EL Gen 3" technology, but expect more concrete details on the panel at CES 2025 next week. We have the 27-inch QD-OLED panel rocking 4K at 240Hz with a 0.03ms response time, and a 3-year QD-OLED warranty for any burn-in worries.

The inclusion of the full DisplayPort 2.1a UHBR20 standard means the new MSI MPG 272URX QD-OLED gaming monitor can run its 4K 240Hz goodness without Display Stream Compression (DSC) technology. You'll want to pair the new 4K 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor with NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5090 32GB or RTX 5080 16GB graphics cards, to ensure your GPU can help you push 240FPS at 4K.
