MSI unveils a new drool-worthy 4K 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor

MSI has unveiled another QD-OLED gaming monitor it can add to its seemingly never-ending line-up of QD-OLED offerings, and while it's similar to a gaming monitor that has been on the market for some time, it's got two key differences.

MSI is one of the leading brands when it comes to gaming monitors, particularly in the QD-OLED pixel technology department, and now the company has unveiled what will be its latest edition to its growing line-up. Introducing the MAG 272UP X24, a 27-inch 4K 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor that is incredibly similar to the MAG 272URX QD-OLED, which I have reviewed and praised highly for its impeccable image clarity.

The specifications for the MAG 272UP X24 are extremely similar to the MAG 272URX, with there only being two big differences: USB-C charging port, and DisplayPort. The MAG 272UP X24 comes with a 3840 x 2160 (4K) resolution panel capable of hitting 240Hz refresh rate, which has been beautifully paired with a 0.03ms (GtG) response time. The display has a typical 250 nits of brightness in SDR mode and can reach up to 450 nits in HDR mode.

As for the differences between the two displays, the MAG 272UP X24 has a USB-C charging port with 15W of PD charging, while the MAG 272URX has a 98W USB-C charging port. DisplayPort-wise, the MAG 272UP X24 features DisplayPort 1.4, while the MAG 272URX features the bleeding-edge DisplayPort 2.1a with UBHR20.

The MAG 272UP X24 should retail for around $750, while the MAG 272URX is available on Amazon for $1,074.
