THE MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50

The MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 monitor features a diagonal size of 67.31cm (26.5-inches).

The rear features the company logo and is largely perforated on the sides and the top/bottom.

At the rear we also find the usual clip-on design for the stand and the VESA 100x100mm mounting area.

To attach the stand, you just need to place it here and push it downwards (this is something you need to do when you take the screen out of the box - safety concerns - but since I take pictures of everything this is the way for me).

After that just attach the base and use the thumbscrew to secure it onto the stand.

27-inch gaming monitors are very popular among gamers and I expect the same to be the case for the MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50.

The stand is height adjustable and so at its lowest it keeps the monitor roughly 57mm from the desk while at its highest that number climbs to around 174mm.

At the front we also find the AI Care Sensor that detects user absence and automatically turns off the screen to initiate panel refresh and the power LED.

The bezels of the MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 are thin and more specifically 5mm for the top and almost 7mm for the left and right ones (17mm for the bottom one).

Turning the screen around we find the company logo on the left side, RGB LED bar on top, stand with cable routing holes on it, 5-way joystick (navi key), macro button (activates the MSI gaming intelligence application) and the power on/off button.

We also find the power port, two HDMI v2.1 outputs, DP v2.1a output, USB-C PD 98W port, USB-B host port, two USB-A 3.2 ports and a 3.5mm port.

Ergonomic stands are not something we see a lot with gaming models so I was glad to see that the MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 can tilt (5 degrees forward, 20 degrees backwards), pivot (90 degrees on either side) and swivel (30 degrees on either side).
