MSI introduced the MAG 271KPD7 gaming monitor in Japan following its presentation at CES 2026 in January. The main feature of this 26.9-inch monitor is the Dual Mode Ultra technology. This allows users to switch between modes: 5K (5120 x 2880) at 75 Hz or WQHD (2560 x 1440) at 300 Hz, closer to the MSI MAG 274QPF X32 WQHD 320 Hz model launched in July. The 5K mode offers 218 pixel density and is best suited for creatives and professionals, while the WQHD mode is best for gaming with its 0.5 ms GtG response time. There is also a 24.5-inch mode for FPS and battle royale games where a smaller field of view is useful. The Rapid IPS panel offers 350 cd/m² brightness with 500 cd/m² peak, 1500:1 contrast ratio, 95% DCI-P3 and 99.1% sRGB, and has typical IPS 178° viewing angles. The monitor has VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification and supports AMD FreeSync Premium.

Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4a, one USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode and 15 W power delivery. There are two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A hub ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-B for a PC connection and a headphone output. MSI also included a built-in KVM switch that lets users control two PCs. The MSI MAG 271KPD7 will be available from October 1 at around 98,800 yen (around $622) with a three-year warranty.

MSI has added two new WQHD monitors to its MAG lineup targeting different ends of the gaming market. The MAG 274QPF X32 is a classic 27-inch flat monitor that boasts a 320 Hz refresh rate making it the fastest of the two. The monitor has a Rapid IPS, anti-glare panel with a 2560 x 1440 resolution, 0.5 ms GtG response time, 300 cd/m² SDR and 400 cd/m² peak HDR brightness and VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification. Color coverage is good with 95% Adobe RGB and 97% DCI-P3, with G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium support. Connectivity includes one DisplayPort 1.4a and two HDMI 2.1 ports. The stand adjusts for tilt, swivel, height (130 mm), and 90-degree pivot.

The MSI MAG 325CQPF E18 monitor takes a different approach as this is a 31.5-inch curved Rapid VA, anti-glare panel with a 1000R curvature. It offers a 180 Hz refresh rate with the same 0.5 ms GtG response time. The VA panel sports a 3500:1 native contrast ratio, which is the main draw here over IPS alternatives. However, color coverage is more modest at 85% Adobe RGB and DCI-P3. From the connectivity point, we see that the monitors offer one DisplayPort 1.4a and two HDMI 2.0b ports, with the latter capped at 144 Hz. AMD FreeSync, PiP, and PbP are supported alongside MSI's AI Vision and Night Vision features. It's worth mentioning that neither of the two MSI monitors has USB ports. The MAG 274QPF X32 is priced at $309 and the MAG 325CQPF E18 at $289 and should be available in stores worldwide during this summer.

MSI, in collaboration with NVIDIA, introduces the MPG 272QRF X36 G-SYNC Pulsar gaming monitor. This 27-inch Rapid IPS display features WQHD (2560 x 1440) resolution and a 360 Hz refresh rate. Designed for professional esports, it delivers the smoothest gameplay and sharpest visuals for competitive gamers seeking an edge.

G-SYNC Pulsar
The MPG 272QRF X36 features NVIDIA G-SYNC, the ultimate suite of display technologies for GeForce gamers. At its core is G-SYNC Pulsar, which utilizes variable frequency backlight strobing to deliver 4x effective motion clarity alongside the smooth, tear-free experience of G-SYNC Variable Refresh Rate. This technology sets a new standard for competitive gaming, ensuring precise aiming and crystal-clear motion even during the most fast-paced gameplay.

MSI has unveiled a new lineup of 27-inch displays and all-in-one systems, catering to the demand for high-quality retina-level displays with fast refresh rates. The two high-performance 27-inch 5K monitors feature Rapid IPS panels with a pixel density of 218 PPI. The MAG 271KPD7 is a "Dual Mode" display that can switch between a high-fidelity 5K resolution at 75 Hz and a performance-focused 2K resolution at 300 Hz. It offers a 0.5 ms GtG response time, VESA DisplayHDR 400, and Delta E < 2 color accuracy. Connectivity options include HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a, and a USB-C port with 15 W Power Delivery, all supported by G-SYNC compatibility and Display Stream Compression (DSC).

The more premium MPG 271KRAW16 enhances these features with a Mini-LED backlight with 2,304 zones and Quantum Dot technology, achieving a VESA DisplayHDR 1400 rating. Its Dual Mode capabilities are faster, offering 5K at 165 Hz or 2K at 330 Hz. Connectivity is further improved with DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR13.5) and a USB-C port capable of up to 98 W Power Delivery.

MSI did a complete refresh of its gaming monitors here at Computex 2025, and they managed to catch our attention when we first stopped at MSI's booths. Beside the MAG 27IQR QD-OLED X50 monitor that uses AI human detection to prevent burn-in, we see the MAG 272QP QD-OLED X50. The latter comes with a 26.5-inch 2560 x 1440 resolution display, using the same Samsung 3rd-gen QD-OLED panel and sporting a 500 Hz refresh rate. It's certified by VESA for ClearMR 21000 and DisplayHDR True Black 500. While it's missing the AI Care sensor of the MAG 27IQR, it does feature OLED Care 2.0 technology to prevent burn-in and extend the panel's lifespan. Console gamers will find full support here with HDMI 2.1 48 Gbps bandwidth ports, 120 Hz refresh rate, ALLM and VRR for next-gen consoles.

Introduced last Friday, we spotted MSI's latest 27-inch Mini-LED dual mode gaming monitor named MPG 274URDFW E16M. The monitor uses a Rapid IPS panel with Dual Mode functionality, offering 160 Hz at UHD and 320 Hz at FHD with a 0.5 ms (GtG, Min.) response time. The Mini-LED and Quantum Dot technology boasts the monitor's contrast and brightness with 1,152 full-array local dimming zones. On the connectivity side, the MPG 274URDFW E16M offers HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a, and USB Type-C with 98 W Power Delivery. The monitor also features 44 LEDs (a new MSI design) with Mystic Light support for customizable RGB effects, and a 4-way adjustable stand. For configuring the monitor, MSI included its AI Navigator feature with AI Menu for customized display settings that automatically activate when a game is launched.

MSI proudly introduces the MPG 274URDFW E16M, a 27-inch Mini-LED Dual Mode gaming monitor. It features a Rapid IPS panel, Dual Mode for 160 Hz at UHD and 320 Hz at FHD, 0.5 ms (GtG, Min.) response time, and AI-driven features. This monitor delivers stunning visual clarity, rich colors, and optimized performance.

Stunning Visuals with Mini-LED and Quantum Dot Technology
Powered by Mini-LED and Quantum Dot technology, the MPG 274URDFW E16M offers exceptional brightness, deep contrast, and rich colors. It features 1,152 full-array local dimming zones for precise backlight control, achieving deep blacks and sharp highlights. With VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification, 98% DCI-P3, 100% Adobe RGB, 140% sRGB coverage, and Delta E≤2 color accuracy, this monitor delivers lifelike visuals for gaming, content creation, and entertainment.

In addition to its range of QD-OLED monitors, MSI was showing a pair of more traditional gaming monitors at Computex. The first one is the MPG 321CUPF which is built around a dual-mode VA panel, which should be one of the first of its kind. It can do either 4K at 160 Hz or 1080p at 320 Hz, both with a 0.5 ms response time. The panel has a 1500R curvature, but somewhat disappointingly, it's only DisplayHDR 400 certified, suggesting it's an edge lit display. It has a pair of HDMI 2.1 inputs, one DP 1.4, one USB Type-C with DP Alt-mode and 15 Watts of USB PD charging and a headphone jack. It also has a console mode which is a 120 Hz 1080p or 4K mode for consoles. According to TFTCentral, it will retail for US$500, but there's currently no fixed launch date.

The next model on display is the MAG 274URFW which is a 27-inch Rapid IPS panel, also with 4K resolution and a 160 Hz refresh rate and a 0.5 ms response time. Connectivity and overall features remains identical to the MPG 321CUPF, but MSI has also thrown in AMD FreeSync Premium here, something that the company hasn't listed as a feature on any of the other models it was showing at Computex. No word on pricing on availability on this model, but as per the picture below, the MAG 274URFW will be avilable in white. MSI also announced some productivity monitors, all of which come with at least a 100 Hz refresh rate, which is refreshing to see (pun intended), since most productivity monitors tend to be stuck at 60 or at best 75 Hz.
