Thanks for sharing this review. Would you happen to know how low in inches it can go? From the lowest bottom point of the monitor to the desk? You mentioned that it goes too low for you but being low close to the desk is exactly what I am looking for. Great video and I look forward to watching more.
The pixel cleanup takes 3-5 minutes and can be slow, but it works. I just wait for the white light confirming the process is done. There are no white lines or scan lines on this monitor either (not that I noticed anyways).
Was looking at the alienware competitor at 360hz 1440 but this one was slightly cheaper so chose it instead. Got a 3080gpu and excited to replace my 1080p display.
The last gen 240hz LG WOLEDs or last gen QD-OLEDs. I am currently waiting for the Q2 releases of WOLED. My conclusion on the eye strain is that it has to do with this generation of QD-OLED gen 3 panel technology.
Since you returned the monitor what will you be getting ??? I guess I’m pushing towards the og 27gs95 because it looks beautiful or unless I get the Alienware 360hz oled
@@balin1 Why don't you use this glossy 360hz 1440p msi monitor? I still haven't watched this video so maybe you talked about it in the video but please let me know why not just use this one
@@PahEz Sure! The major issue with the monitor is eyestrain (my experience). Additionally, pixel refresh popups for OLED care came up often interrupting gaming.
How are the blacks? can you distinguish details in hair or black clothing. can you see greys? or its all washed into one color and we need to raise brightness to see anything dark. making everything else wack
Blacks are EXCELLENT - could easily discern grey vs black. I’d say the best part of this monitor besides the refresh rate. However, dark scenes get dark (pitch black). That’s why for esports I turn on dark stabilizer.
@@SylentOfficial I agree, but I commented under the assumption that he’s looking for the best. Whatever your comfortable spending at the end of the day 👍
I would like 360 refresh rate but my eyes are already used to 4k 27 inch pixels per inch which is 163 ppi. Unfortunately 109 ppi is not enough anymore, being pioneer sucks haha
Imo the difference isn't that big, it is there but it isn't anywhere near the difference between 1080p and 1440p. 1440p seems to be the best option for now, 4k in maybe 4 years or so
Is there any major differences between this and the mpg model? All 360hz oled is out of stock except for this, I was wondering if I’m gonna be missing out on anything by getting this
Typing on this monitor is still gross. I used a display model and it makes you feel like your back in 2005. This monitor is quite useless outside of playing video games. So unless your 100% only gaming on this, it’s all copeium people hyping it up for their own collection
@@gardenia1738 The 271qpx is gorgeous (same QD oled as the alienware 360hz). I ended up returning it though due to pretty significant eye strain. I’d recommend the last gen WOLEDs if they are cheaper or if you’re worried about eye strain. Otherwise, wait for the Q2 releases from LG.
@@gardenia1738 The QPX and QRX panel is identical (they are the same samsung panel) with the difference being KVM, 90w usb-c, rear RGB, and firmware updates.
I love the screen protect feature that turns it completely off after running protect. Awesome monitor. 😊😊😊
LOL. It actually disrupted my gaming/workflow quite a bit

Using the stand, about 2 inches from the monitor to the desk at its lowest height. Also, thank you for supporting.
I need to go back to having a salt lamp like you. I used to have one. Thx for the vid.
This monitor has not fan, but passive graphene radiator as far as I can see at MSI page :) How it is so far? I will buy it in near future.
There are spots where the monitor gets ‘warm’ but the radiator soaks up a lot of heat. The fan is not audible.
Other than the eye stain issues, have you encountered any bugs? Like random white lines or wake from sleep issues or issues following a pixel cleanup?

Sweet. Hope you enjoy the upgrade. Money well spent ;)
Does the this MAG version have g sync? Because it doesnt say g sync compatible on the description like the MPG version does.
Hey is there a OLED you recommend that doesn’t give eye strain ? Trying to get rid of my AW2723DF because of IPS eye strain
The last gen 240hz LG WOLEDs or last gen QD-OLEDs. I am currently waiting for the Q2 releases of WOLED. My conclusion on the eye strain is that it has to do with this generation of QD-OLED gen 3 panel technology.
Good review. What's the differences between this and the qrx model?
It's the same screen panel but the more expensive model has a KVM built in. Way not worth the extra $300-$400 imo
Isn't it only a $50 price difference? At least according to MSI's website.
@Yahtzee9820 it is only an extra 60 here in Canada. But with no firmware updates ever, definitely not worth saving a few bucks
@@alanbenyamin487it's not about saving. MPG is no where to be found

Going back to my acer nitro 390hz until 1440p 500hz mini LED or WOLED 360hz (whichever is cheapest). Last years oled monitors are too dim IMO.

So its not worth this monitor? Im thinking to buy it to play cs2 and valorant.
I'd recommend 480 or 500hz for valo and cs
I mean going from 144 hz to 360 hz, very enjoyable.

Make sure to hide your taskbar :)
Just got the mag sold my 1440p 240hz ips Omen monitor and need a replacement quick only these was in stock
yeah exactly. I would've spent the extra 50 bucks for the mpg if it were in stock. hope you enjoy it.

have you ever gotten any vertical banding at all?
None. The panel is uniform in brightness and color.
How is the brightness?
Dim. Useable in a dark room though.
Is there any major differences between this and the mpg model? All 360hz oled is out of stock except for this, I was wondering if I’m gonna be missing out on anything by getting this
No difference with the panel, but the MPG supports features like 90w usbc power delivery, kvm functionality, and firmware support.
@@balin1The MAG 271QPX and 321QPX now support firmware updates.
So scale of 1-10 what would you rate this monitor?
7.5
@@balin1 alright well that makes me wanna return this shit… lmao
@@balin1 how you gonna say 7.5 and title this “you need this” tf lol
@@handycartmexican5640 it’s clickbait. besides 7.5 is still very respectable.
@@balin1 not when you’re paying almost 1k for a monitor
Is this FocusRite on the left side?
my scarlett solo ive had for 4 years :D
I am thinking of this one too because no other is in stock but you cant firmware it.
I unfortunately returned this monitor due to eye strain, but otherwise it looks stunning.
@@balin1 damn I wonder if I should just get the 240hz ones.
Depends on price. If theyre around 500-600 bucks then 100%.
@@balin1 Acer has theirs on sale at $599 but didnt pull the trigger. I might get the PIXIO that just dropped for $699.
People keep saying this but I don't get it. I've had 6 different monitors in my time and I've literally never needed to update monitor firmware

it's a nightmare to get the screen clean
100% it was so frustrating
Why is it hard to get the screen clean?
@@504Trey no matter what or how you do it, it is almost impossible to get rid of smudges in the screen
@Rafdao
Is that just with this screen In particular or is it a glossy screen problem in general?
@@504Trey I have C2 and C1 LG Oleds and haven’t got that problem cleaning them. It is defined a QD Oled issue
Why is half the screen black?
OBS is just covering one side of it, and my background in windows is set to black to show off the panel.
@@balin1 got you looking into this one but can’t find one on Amazon that isn’t through a 3rd party
@@handycartmexican5640 Yeah unfortunately it is sold out on most reputable sites.
@@balin1 you think it’s safe to do through 3rd party on Amazon?

It is a big step up from last gen OLEDs and is usable in my experience, but it doesn’t compare to run-of-the-mill lcd’s.
@@balin1 Do you prefer any other OLED vs this one? I can't find the 1QRX (the firmware upgradable one) but this is available
