The MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED is a 27-inch, 1440p, 360 Hz gaming monitor with a QD-OLED panel and AMD FreeSync. It also lays claim to some impressive specs for content creation and consumption, making it a perfect entry into photo or video editing. An Amazon discount has the monitor at a record-low price.

OLED gaming monitors offer a slew of advantages, including excellent colour reproduction, extremely low response times, and inky blacks, and the MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED is no different. With OLED monitors entering the mainstream gaming space, it's about time for them to get significantly cheaper. Thanks to an Amazon sale, the MSI MAG 271QPX has seen a price cut to an all-time low of $629.99.

In terms of specifications and features, the MSI MAG 271QPX has just about everything you could expect from a gaming monitor, including AMD FreeSync, 360 Hz refresh rate, and ample input options, including a 1× DisplayPort (1.4a), dual HDMI 2.1 ports, and a USB Type-C (DP alt mode) with PD 15W. All of the monitor's inputs also allow for the full 2560 × 1440p resolution at 360 Hz, making connecting the monitor to a PC or laptop simple and hassle-free.

The 27-inch size and 1440p resolution also strikes a good balance between size, sharpness, and resolution. This means it should be comfortable to use at a natural viewing distance without putting excess strain on GPUs and making it impossible to run games at high frame rates. 

The Samsung QD-OLED panel behind the MSI MAG 271QPX is also reasonably bright, with an in-depth review from XDA Developers finding peak brightness levels of 1,002 nits in small 2% window size tests. Although that is great for HDR viewing, it's not particularly useful for general use or SDR viewing. Thankfully, even at 10% window sizes, the MSI MAG 27 reaches 451 nits, dropping to 365 nits at 25% and 307 nits at 50% window sizes. 

For those gamers who also want to dabble in some photo or video work on the side, the MSI MAG 271QPX also has you covered, thanks to its excellent colour reproduction and colour gamut coverage. MSI claims, that the MSI MAG 271QPX covers 98% of the AdobeRGB colour space, 99% of the Display P3 colour gamut, and well over 100% of the sRGB colour space, and reviews support these claims. The MAG 271QPX also claims to have factory calibration for deltaE values under 2, although it missed that mark slightly in real-world testing, with XDA measuring values of 2.2 instead — still an admirable result for a capable gaming monitor.
