MSI heralded the future of gaming monitors with an impressive appearance at Computex 2025. The company presented a new series of QD OLED monitors that not only offer extreme performance, but also innovative AI technology. The focus is on the new AI Navigator, which, together with an intelligent sensor system, is set to revolutionize the gaming experience. The focus is on two models – the powerful MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 and the MAG 272QP QD-OLED X50, which is designed for eSports.
- New “AI Navigator” with central AI menu for simple settings
- “AI Care Sensor” recognizes users in real time and extends the life of the monitor
- MPG 271QR: 500 Hz, 3rd generation QD-OLED, 0.03 ms GTG
- MAG 272QP: eSports monitor with similar picture performance, but without AI sensor
AI-supported gaming – more than just a buzzword
The new monitors from MSI are equipped with a specially developed “AI Navigator”, which bundles all AI settings in a central menu. Users can easily make adjustments here – be it for energy-saving functions, colour profiles or image optimization. However, the highlight of the series is the “AI Care Sensor”, which uses an NPU chip and CMOS camera to register every movement in front of the screen. If the system does not detect a person, the monitor is either switched to sleep mode or the OLED protection functions take effect automatically.
This clever function not only ensures greater efficiency and lower energy consumption, but also actively protects the panel from burn-in effects – a well-known problem with OLED displays. The system reacts to changes in the field of view every 0.2 seconds and dynamically adjusts brightness and contrast, which also makes a noticeable contribution to image quality during longer gaming sessions.
MSI MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50: Powerhouse with intelligence
The MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 is the flagship of the new product range and comes with a whole host of cutting-edge technologies. As the world’s first 27-inch gaming monitor with 2K resolution (WQHD: 2560 × 1440) and a refresh rate of an incredible 500 Hz, it is clearly aimed at gamers who don’t want to compromise on response time and display quality.
The response time is a rapid 0.03 ms (GTG), supported by the latest 3rd generation QD OLED panel from Samsung. Gamers benefit from smooth movements, deep blacks, high brightness and vivid colors – regardless of whether they are playing fast-paced shooters or graphically intensive RPGs. Certifications such as VESA ClearMR 21000 and DisplayHDR True Black 500 further underpin the picture quality.
Another plus: the combination of QD OLED technology and the new AI sensor technology makes the monitor not only powerful, but also sustainable. The system recognizes exactly when it is in use, continuously optimizes its performance and thus noticeably extends its service life. Anyone looking for a future-proof premium monitor will find it here.
The MAG 272QP QD-OLED X50: Entry into the professional league
If you are looking for similar picture quality at a slightly lower price, the MAG 272QP QD-OLED X50 should be a good choice. This monitor also relies on a 27-inch WQHD QD OLED panel with 500 Hz and 0.03 ms response time. This makes it perfect for eSports disciplines where every millisecond counts.
Although the MAG model does without the AI Care sensor and some connection options such as DP 2.1, there are no compromises when it comes to image quality. Here too, deep blacks, rich colors and high color accuracy (99% DCI-P3) ensure an impressive visual experience. The same VESA certifications as the premium model guarantee reduced motion blur and high contrast. The MAG 272QP therefore offers an attractive entry into the world of high-end OLED monitors – especially for competitive gamers.
Conclusion
With the new QD-OLED series, MSI is bringing an intelligent technological leap to the gaming market. The combination of high-end picture quality, extremely high refresh rate and AI-supported system management makes the MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 in particular a pioneering device for demanding gamers. However, if you can do without the AI feature, the MAG 272QP QD-OLED X50 is a powerful eSports monitor at a presumably more attractive price. Although MSI has not yet provided any precise details on availability or price, one thing is clear: the new generation of monitors sets new standards – both technically and in terms of user comfort.
