MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2

The MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2 is MSI’s 26.5-inch 2560 × 1440, 240 Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor. It offers 0.03 ms GtG response, DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, up to 1000 nits of small-window HDR peak brightness, two HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort 1.4a and a USB-C input with 15 W charging; all four inputs can reach 240 Hz. A graphene film heatsink keeps it fanless, the stand adjusts for height, swivel and pivot, and MSI offers a 3-year warranty that covers burn-in. Owners praise the colours, blacks and motion clarity; one notes that text clarity lags behind IPS and that there is no USB hub or remote.

26.5-inch flat MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2, black (9S6-3CD89T). The original 360 Hz MAG 271QPX QD-OLED and the MPG 271QRX are different models.

Specifications

SpecificationValue
Panel26.5-inch flat QD-OLED; 2560 × 1440 (WQHD), 16:9; anti-reflection surface

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 turn fully off.

Refresh rate240 Hz; Adaptive-Sync 48–240 Hz; 2560 × 1440 at 240 Hz over DisplayPort 1.4a, both HDMI 2.1 ports and USB-C (DP Alt)

240 Hz shows 240 frames per second for smooth, clear motion in fast games, provided the graphics card can produce that frame rate. Adaptive-Sync matches the display’s refresh to the card’s frame rate to prevent tearing.

Response time0.03 ms (GtG)

This is grey-to-grey transition time; OLED’s very fast transitions reduce motion blur, but it is not the same as total input lag.

Brightness and HDRSDR 250 nits (typical); HDR 450 nits at 10% window and 1000 nits peak at 3% window; VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400

OLED brightness falls as the lit area grows; 1000 nits appears only in very small bright highlights. True Black 400 certifies deep blacks with at least 400 nits HDR performance.

Colour10-bit (1.07 billion colours); 99.1% DCI-P3 and 100% sRGB coverage (CIE 1976); ΔE ≤ 2

The wide gamut gives saturated colour in HDR and games; MSI states colour accuracy as ΔE ≤ 2.

Contrast and viewing angle1,500,000:1 (typical); 178° / 178°
Inputs2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4a, 1 × USB-C (DP Alt, 15 W PD), headphone out

The HDMI 2.1 inputs support WQHD 240 Hz on consoles at 48 Gbps (Console Mode). USB-C with 15 W only charges small devices such as phones and is not enough to charge a laptop; the port runs at USB 2.0 speed and there is no separate USB hub.

PiP / PbPPicture-in-picture and picture-by-picture support

Shows two sources at once: in PiP one is a small window, in PbP the two sit side by side.

Owner experiences and issues

  • On Walmart, 25 of 30 ratings are five stars, 3 are four, one is two and one is one star (average 4.7); of 13 written reviews, the 3 visible ones are verified purchases and two are incentivised. James finds brightness and text quality better than his LG WOLED monitor, but text clarity still behind IPS; he misses the USB passthrough, remote and taller stand of his LG. The taskbar and static image detection features give him confidence about burn-in. Musa reports a clear gaming improvement over IPS, and Maurice vivid colours and easy setup.

  • On Coolblue Germany, 19 of 22 ratings are five stars and 3 are four (average 4.86); the 3 visible written reviews are from January 2025. Steve, coming from a VA monitor, reports a big difference in colour, brightness and black level with no ghosting, but criticises the low placement of the rear inputs, which makes cables stick out. Dennis mentions easy setup and a detailed image.
