The MAG 274QP X24 packs a 26.5in QD-OLED panel with a native QHD (2560×1440) resolution. This combo provides a great balance of screen size and sharpness, with 111 pixels per inch (PPI) filling up your vision. If you’re coming from a 24in FHD (1920×1080) monitor, you’ll immediately notice an appreciable leap in the sharpness and quality of this display.
Running at 240Hz, the monitor is capable of delivering frame times as low as 4.17ms. Working in tandem with the near-instantaneous pixel response times of QD-OLED tech, motion clarity on the MAG 274QP X24 will be nothing short of excellent. Better still, those response times remain consistent across the refresh rate range, meaning this screen will stay snappy whether you’re hitting closer to 60fps or 240fps.
Meanwhile, per-pixel local dimming allows for perfect black levels, providing contrast that LCD monitors at this price simply can’t match. That’s not forgetting gamut either, as the monitor covers 99% of the DCI-P3 colour space, for a rich and accurate viewing experience, with MSI promising Delta E ≤2 accuracy out of the box.
This is a third-generation QD-OLED panel, which isn’t as bright as newer models. Typical SDR brightness sits at around 200nits, while HDR pushes up to 400nits. While more recent QD-OLED displays are brighter, though, that’s still enough for most people’s needs.
You won’t find a USB hub on the MAG 274QP X24, but this monitor does arrive with plenty of display inputs. On the chassis’ underside, you’ll find a single DisplayPort 1.4a connector and two HDMI 2.1 ports. Both can display the maximum resolution and refresh rate of the monitor, so you can pick and choose which suits your setup best.
Finally, for those concerned about OLED burn-in, MSI has built various software protections right into the MAG 274QP X24’s on-screen display. These include static screen detection, invisible pixel shifting, as well as regular pixel refreshes that trigger once the monitor enters standby. The screen’s three-year warranty also covers this problem, for extra peace of mind.
