MSI has officially released the MAG 272QP X50 in the US, adding another blisteringly fast 500 Hz OLED monitor to its gaming lineup. It packs cutting-edge display tech into a more accessible package though it trims a few extras to hit its $749.99 price point.
MSI MAG 272QP X50 500 Hz OLED at 1440p Is the Star Here
Like its sibling, the upcoming MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50, the MAG 272QP X50 uses Samsung Display’s new 500 Hz QD-OLED panel. That means 1440p resolution at an eye-watering 500 Hz refresh rate, plus a nearly instant 0.03 ms GtG response time.
MSI pairs this with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, which ensures smooth gameplay without tearing or stutter, even when the action gets chaotic.
Lenovo’s new Legion Go power bank adds a built-in kickstand and 65W charging to the Legion Go S solving its most obvious hardware flaw.
What the MAG 272QP X50 Delivers and Leaves Out
This monitor leans into performance, but cuts a few bells and whistles from its premium sibling. Here’s what it includes and what’s missing:
Included:
- 500 Hz / 1440p QD-OLED panel
- 0.03 ms response time
- DisplayPort 1.4a (HBR3) with DSC
- HDMI 2.1
- USB-C port (15W)
- AMD FreeSync Premium Pro
- OLED Care 2.0
Missing:
- DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR20)
- USB Type-A and Type-B ports
- AI Burn-in Protection Sensor
- OLED Care 3.0
Still, this is one of the most affordable ways to jump into high-refresh OLED gaming, especially for those who don’t need extra ports or burn-in sensors.
Ships Soon From Major US Retailers
MSI has priced the MAG 272QP X50 at $749.99, and it’s already up for order through Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg, and MSI’s own store. Units are expected to begin shipping mid-month.
For players chasing ultra-smooth gameplay, this monitor delivers on that promise. It also hits a sweet spot between elite performance and wallet-friendlier compromises.
