MSI MAG 271QP QD-OLED X28 computer monitor 67.3 cm (26.5 inch) 2560 x 1440 pixels Wide Quad HD Black

The MSI MAG 271QP QD-OLED X28 is a 26.5" QD-OLED gaming monitor with 2560 x 1440 (WQHD) resolution, a 280Hz refresh rate and a 0.03 ms (GtG) response time. It uses a next‑generation QD‑OLED panel with 178° viewing angles, VESA ClearMR 15000 and DisplayHDR True Black 400 certifications for vivid contrast and reduced motion blur. The monitor includes HDMI 2.1 ports with 48 Gbps bandwidth, 120Hz support, VRR and ALLM for console compatibility. MSI’s MAG series emphasizes durability with a robust chassis and improved heat dissipation to maintain stability during prolonged gaming sessions.

Advantages

The panel delivers exceptional color accuracy and deep blacks thanks to QD‑OLED technology and DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, while the 280Hz refresh rate and 0.03 ms response time minimise motion blur. OLED Care 2.0 and an extended 24‑hour OLED refresh cycle reduce burn‑in risk with minimal interruptions. Hardware improvements such as a custom heatsink and graphene film improve thermal performance for consistent long‑term visual quality.
