MSI has unveiled a new gaming monitor, the MAG 276QE34, which may appeal primarily to fans of fast-paced games. The unit features a 27-inch Rapid IPS panel with WQHD resolution, a refresh rate up to 340 Hz, and a claimed minimum response time of 0.5 ms. It also includes HDMI 2.1 and features that improve image smoothness.
340 Hz and SLMB Sync technology
The MSI MAG 276QE34 uses a 27-inch Rapid IPS panel with a resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels. The maximum refresh rate is 340 Hz in OC mode, and the specified 0.5 ms is the minimum GtG response time. The monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium and is described as compatible with NVIDIA G-Sync. An interesting feature is SLMB Sync, which allows adaptive sync and motion blur reduction to be used at the same time. This solution can be particularly useful in fast-paced FPS games.
The manufacturer also claims 96% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, brightness of 350 nits in SDR and up to 400 nits in HDR. The monitor has received VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, but with the typical IPS contrast of 1000:1 you should not expect HDR effects comparable to OLED screens or advanced Mini LED displays.
HDMI 2.1 and limited ergonomics
On board are two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4a and a headphone output. All video inputs support WQHD at 340 Hz. Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture functions are also available.
One limitation is the stand, which only allows tilt adjustment. However, the monitor can be mounted on an arm compatible with the VESA 100 × 100 mm standard.
MSI has not yet disclosed an official price or a release date. It is also unclear when the MAG 276QE34 will reach Polish stores.
