Advanced Features of the MSI Screens
These screens come equipped with 3rd generation QD-OLED panels, which provide an improved sub-pixel structure for better text rendering and reduction of motion blur. All screens have VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, indicating peak luminance above 400 cd/m² in HDR and black luminance below 0.0005 cd/m². Thanks to the QD-OLED technology, these screens are expected to deliver high color richness with extended colorimetric coverage.
Differences Between MAG and MPG Series
The MAG and MPG series vary in a few aspects:
- MAG series features USB-C connectivity with 15W Power Delivery, while MPG series offers a higher 90W Power Delivery
- The MPG series comes with a KVM switch, which is not available in the MAG series
- Some MAG series monitors do not support firmware updates, lack an upstream port, and the MSI Gaming Intelligence app is only available for the MPG series
Protection Against Screen Burn-in
MSI has introduced the OLED Care 2.0 tool in these new screens to shield against screen burn-in. Additional protective measures in place include pixel shift, panel refresh, static screen detection, border detection, taskbar detection, and multi-logo detection.
Heat Dissipation Features
Exclusive to these screens is the heat sink design and graphene film. These features offer efficient passive heat dissipation to prevent premature wear of the screen’s organic display materials.
