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		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
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		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 syncG-SYNC Compatible; AMD FreeSync Premium Pro

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

MSI		AMD FreeSync Premium Pro

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

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.

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.

Warranty3 years, including OLED burn-in

Coverage and duration may vary by country.

MSI		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.

MSI
Brightness and contrast—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
Colour—99% DCI-P3, 146% sRGB, 98% Adobe RGB; 10-bit (1.07 billion colours) 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.
