MSI Showcase the MAG 272QPW QD-OLED X28 Gaming Monitor at Computex 2025
MSI have unveiled their new MAG 272QPW QD-OLED X28 monitor at Computex this week as it makes its first appearance on the World stage. This screen features a 27″ class (accurately 26.5”) display built around a Samsung Display QD-OLED technology panel, with a 2560 x 1440 resolution and 280Hz refresh rate. This refresh rate sits between some of their existing 360Hz 27″ QD-OLED monitors like the MPG 271QRX, and some of their 240Hz models like the MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2 for instance. This new screen also has a white enclosure which is fairly rare in the monitor market.
