Image Quality
The QD-OLED technology implemented in the MAG 272UP provides unparalleled color reproduction and contrast. The deep black color characteristic of OLED panels is combined with the bright and saturated colors offered by quantum dot technology. The monitor can display 1.07 billion colors and ensures accurate color reproduction thanks to factory calibration with delta E < 2.
HDR support with DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification allows you to enjoy an impressive dynamic range in both games and when viewing video content. Peak brightness of 1000 nits makes the image clearly visible even in a brightly lit room.
Gaming Capabilities
A refresh rate of 240 Hz and a response time of just 0.03 ms make the MAG 272UP QD-OLED X24 one of the fastest 4K monitors on the market. Support for synchronization technologies from AMD and NVIDIA ensures smooth gameplay without screen tearing.
MSI has also included a range of gaming features such as an FPS counter, crosshair, timer, and various picture modes optimized for different game genres. The Gaming Intelligence center in the OSD menu allows you to configure all these features and create custom profiles for different games.

The MAG 272UP QD-OLED X24 is equipped with modern connection interfaces, including two HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K@120Hz for the latest consoles, DisplayPort 1.4 for connecting to a PC, and USB Type-C with Power Delivery up to 65W, allowing you to charge your laptop while using the monitor.
The built-in USB hub with four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports provides convenient access to peripheral devices. The monitor is also equipped with 2×2W stereo speakers that provide acceptable sound quality for everyday use.
Eye Protection
Despite its gaming focus, MSI hasn't forgotten about user health. The monitor has received TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort certification and is equipped with Less Blue Light Pro and Anti-Flicker technologies that reduce eye strain during prolonged use.
Power Consumption and Environmental Friendliness
OLED technology allows for reduced power consumption compared to traditional IPS monitors of similar size. In operation mode, the monitor consumes about 45W, and in standby mode, less than 0.5W. MSI has also paid attention to environmental aspects, using recyclable materials for packaging and reducing the amount of plastic.
Conclusion
The MSI MAG 272UP QD-OLED X24 is a cutting-edge gaming monitor that combines high resolution, excellent color reproduction, and lightning-fast response time. It's suitable for both demanding gamers and professionals working with graphics and video.
