Release year20262024
Panel27-inch IPS; 3840 × 2160; 16:9

IPS panels offer wide viewing angles and consistent colour; black level stays behind OLED and VA panels.

LG		49-inch QD-OLED; 5120 × 1440 (DQHD), 32:9; 1800R curve

The 32:9 ratio gives a workspace equivalent to two 27-inch 1440p monitors side by side. The 1800R curve keeps the edges closer to the eyes.

MSI
Pixel densityPixel pitch 0.1554 mm (about 163 ppi)

A small pixel pitch makes text sharper; 4K at 27 inches makes interface elements smaller.

LG		—
Refresh rate180 Hz at 4K; 360 Hz at Full HD with Dual Mode

Dual Mode lowers the resolution to Full HD to allow a higher refresh rate; the image is less sharp in that mode.

LG		—
Response time1 ms GtG (at the Faster setting)

LG gives this figure for the fastest response time setting; it gives no figure for other settings.

LG		—
Brightness and contrastTypical 400 cd/m² (minimum 320); contrast 1000:1

1000:1 contrast is typical for IPS; blacks can look grey in a dark room.

LG		Typical SDR 250 nits; 1,500,000:1; DisplayHDR True Black 400

True Black 400 is the OLED-class certification for very low black level and 400-nit HDR brightness.

MSI
HDRHDR10; VESA DisplayHDR 400

DisplayHDR 400 is VESA’s lowest HDR certification tier; HDR content plays but bright highlights stay limited.

LG		—
ColourDCI-P3 95% (typical, CIE1976); 1.07 billion colours; factory calibration

DCI-P3 coverage describes how much of the wide colour space used in films and games can be shown.

LG		99% DCI-P3, 146% sRGB, 98% Adobe RGB; 10-bit (1.07 billion colours) MSI
SyncNVIDIA G-Sync Compatible, AMD FreeSync, VESA Adaptive-Sync

Variable refresh matches the screen to the graphics card’s frame rate, reducing tearing and stutter.

LG		—
Video inputs2 HDMI 2.1, 1 DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC)

DSC uses visually lossless compression to fit a 4K 180 Hz signal into DisplayPort 1.4 bandwidth.

LG		—
USB1 USB 3.0 upstream, 2 USB 3.0 downstream; no USB-C

The USB ports act as a hub; no USB-C connection for video or charging is listed.

LG		—
AudioHeadphone out; DTS Headphone:X; no built-in speakers listed

Headphones or external speakers are needed for sound.

LG		—
StandHeight, tilt, swivel and pivot adjustment; VESA 100 × 100

Pivot lets the screen be used in portrait; VESA 100 × 100 fits standard monitor arms.

LG		—
PowerExternal adapter; 100–240 V; under 0.5 W in sleep

The external adapter keeps the monitor thinner but takes extra space on the desk.

LG		—
Size and weightWith stand 24.2 × 21.0 × 8.7 in (raised), 16.3 lb (about 7.4 kg); without stand 24.2 × 14.6 × 2.0 in, 10.8 lb (about 4.9 kg)

Use the weight without the stand when choosing a monitor arm.

LG		With stand 1195 × 328 × 410 mm; without stand 1195 × 190 × 372 mm; net 10.3 kg MSI
In the boxDisplayPort and HDMI cables

No USB upstream cable is listed.

LG		—
Refresh and response—144 Hz (adaptive range 48–144 Hz); 0.03 ms (GtG)

Adaptive sync prevents tearing while the frame rate stays between 48 and 144. Reaching 144 fps at full resolution needs a very powerful graphics card.

MSI
Adaptive sync—AMD FreeSync Premium Pro

The Premium Pro tier includes low frame rate compensation and low-latency tone mapping in HDR.

MSI
Connections—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

USB-C takes video from a laptop over one cable and charges it at up to 90 W. The USB ports run at USB 2.0 speed; there are no built-in speakers.

MSI
Multi-view—PiP / PbP

PbP splits the 49-inch screen side by side between two sources to show two computers at once; PiP shows one source in a small window over the other.

MSI
Surface—Anti-reflection coating MSI
Stand and mounting—Tilt –5° to 20°; swivel –30° to 30°; height 0–100 mm; VESA 100 × 100 MSI
Warranty—3 years, including panel burn-in

Static images left on an OLED panel for long periods can leave permanent marks; MSI covers this risk under warranty.
