Panel26.5-inch flat QD-OLED; 3840 × 2160; 10-bit (1.07 billion colours)

In QD-OLED, light from a blue OLED layer is converted to red and green by quantum dots; because each pixel emits its own light, blacks switch off completely. 4K in the 27-inch class gives very sharp text at about 166 ppi.

MSI		26.5-inch WOLED; anti-glare surface

WOLED uses a white OLED layer with colour filters; each pixel makes its own light, so blacks switch fully off.

ASUS
Refresh and response240 Hz (adaptive range 48–240 Hz); 0.03 ms GtG

4K 240 Hz is reached over DisplayPort 2.1a or HDMI 2.1. 0.03 ms is pixel transition time, not total input lag.

MSI		—
Adaptive syncG-SYNC Compatible; AMD FreeSync Premium Pro

Matching refresh rate to the GPU frame rate reduces tearing and stutter.

MSI		—
Brightness and HDRSDR 250 nits; HDR 450 nits at 10% APL, 1000 nits peak at 3% APL; DisplayHDR True Black 400

1000 nits is reached only when a very small part of the screen is bright; OLED brightness drops markedly on a full white screen. True Black 400 is the VESA tier for OLEDs that also measures black level.

MSI		—
Colour and contrastDCI-P3 99%, Adobe RGB 98%, sRGB 138% (CIE 1976); 1,500,000:1 typical contrast

138% of sRGB means the panel can oversaturate standard content; use the sRGB mode for accurate colour.

MSI		—
Video inputs1 × DisplayPort 2.1a (UHBR20); 2 × HDMI 2.1 (UHD 240 Hz); 1 × USB-C (DP Alt Mode, 98 W PD)

UHBR20 offers 80 Gbit/s, enough to carry 4K 240 Hz 10-bit without compression, provided the GPU also supports DP 2.1 UHBR20. USB-C delivers video, data and up to 98 W laptop charging over one cable.

MSI		1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC), 2 × HDMI 2.1 (FRL)

DSC compresses the signal in a way considered visually lossless so that 1440p 480 Hz fits within DisplayPort 1.4 bandwidth.

ASUS
USB and audio2 × USB-A 5 Gbit/s; 1 × USB-B 5 Gbit/s (upstream); headphone out; no built-in speakers MSI—

KVM shares a keyboard and mouse connected to the monitor between two computers. PiP shows one source in a small window, PbP shows two sources side by side.

ASUS states the dimensions are estimates and may vary by region.

ASUS
Warranty3 years, including OLED burn-in

Coverage and duration may vary by country.

MSI		3 years, including OLED burn-in

Burn-in is when long-static images leave a mark on an OLED panel; the OLED Care features aim to reduce it.

ASUS
Resolution—2560 × 1440, 16:9 ASUS
Refresh rate—Up to 480 Hz

480 Hz improves motion clarity in fast games; reaching it also needs the graphics card to render close to 480 frames.

ASUS
Response time—0.03 ms (GtG)

GtG is the grey-to-grey pixel transition time, not total input lag.

ASUS
Brightness and contrast—HDR peak 1,300 cd/m²; contrast 1,500,000:1 (typical)

The peak figure applies to a small part of the screen; ASUS notes that peak brightness may vary with colour pre-calibration.

ASUS
Colour—99% DCI-P3, 135% sRGB; 10-bit; ΔE < 2

A colour pre-calibration report is included in the box.

ASUS
HDR and certifications—HDR10; VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black ASUS
Variable refresh—VESA AdaptiveSync Display 480Hz; AMD FreeSync Premium; G-SYNC Compatible

Variable refresh matches the monitor’s rate to the graphics card’s frame rate to prevent tearing.

ASUS
Other connections—2 × USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A hub, headphone jack; no speakers ASUS
Stand—Tilt +20°/−5°, swivel ±30°, pivot ±90°, height 0–110 mm; 100 × 100 VESA; 1/4-inch tripod socket ASUS
