Release year20252024
Display27-inch IPS Black; 3840 × 2160; 163 ppi; anti-glare surface Dell—
Refresh rate120 Hz; 48–120 Hz variable refresh

Variable refresh works over HDMI 2.1; dynamic refresh rate (DRR) over DisplayPort is also listed for Windows.

Dell		—
Brightness450 nits typical; 600 nits peak; HDR 600 Dell—
Rated contrast3000:1 native contrast

IPS Black targets darker blacks than conventional IPS; it does not give per-pixel black like OLED or local-dimming displays.

Dell		—
Colour1.07 billion colours; 100% sRGB and Rec.709; 99% DCI-P3 and Display P3; factory calibration average ΔE < 1.5 Dell10-bit (1.07 billion colours); 99% DCI-P3, 97% Adobe RGB, 138% sRGB

138% sRGB means the gamut extends well beyond sRGB; use the monitor’s sRGB mode so sRGB content does not look oversaturated.

FirmwareM2T102 (A01, 19 August 2025)

Dell says it targets wake-from-sleep, USB dropping to 480 Mbit/s on MacBooks, auto brightness/colour temperature sensing and daisy-chained displays not waking.

Dell		—
Panel—31.5-inch flat QD-OLED; 3840 × 2160; 0.1814 mm pixel pitch; anti-reflection surface

QD-OLED converts blue OLED light to red and green with quantum dots; because each pixel makes its own light, blacks can switch fully off. 4K at 32 inches gives roughly 140 ppi.

MSI
Refresh and response—240 Hz (48–240 Hz variable range); 0.03 ms GtG

MSI says 240 Hz at 4K is reachable over DisplayPort 1.4a, HDMI 2.1 and USB-C alike. 0.03 ms is grey-to-grey transition time, not total input lag.

MSI
Brightness and HDR—250 nits typical; DisplayHDR True Black 400; 1,500,000:1 typical contrast

DisplayHDR True Black 400 is the VESA class for displays that can produce deep blacks such as OLED; it requires 400-nit small-area brightness and a very low black level. 250 nits is the full-screen SDR figure.

MSI
Adaptive sync—G-SYNC Compatible; AMD FreeSync Premium Pro

Adaptive sync matches the display refresh to the game’s frame rate to reduce tearing and stutter. FreeSync Premium Pro adds a low-latency requirement in HDR.

MSI
Inputs—1 × DisplayPort 1.4a; 2 × HDMI 2.1; 1 × USB-C (DP Alt Mode, 90 W PD); 2 × USB 2.0 Type-A, 1 × USB 2.0 Type-B; headphone out

The USB-C input can carry video and charge a laptop at up to 90 W over a single cable. Display Ninja says the monitor has a built-in KVM; the USB-A ports run at USB 2.0 speed.
