What's inside here has never existed until now
In fact, this is like an early pre-production model. This is probably one of three to five
that exist in the world. All right, so before I jump into all the firsts
and there's like a lot here, gaming makes me happy. I want to reciprocate, especially this time of year
and hopefully make somebody else out there happy and give you a chance to win 500 bucks
Doing this for years is one of my favorite things to do in videos. Thank you for supporting the channel
and generally being awesome. So tell me down below, After you get the video a thumbs up, what's the first game you would play on your brand new MSI monitor

So this is the very first 27 inch 4K QD OLED monitor
And I've made a lot of videos talking about QD OLED technology
and what it is and what it does. I'll get to that more in the video, but it's the first time we've seen this in a monitor
Oh, it also has 240 Hertz refresh rate. You know, that was enough
And a ton of IO to use it as pretty much a dock. So standard cables, you've got a dock
even giving you a display port, which is awesome, which enables that 240 hertz refresh rate
power cables, a bunch of I.O. Man, they give you cables for everything. You've got HDMI, USB, display port stuff
but that's all fine. This is what I wanna see. All right, let me take it out of the box
Lean in here. 27-inch, 4K display, QD-OLED. It's a grand reveal
one hand so we can do it. God, if I break this they're gonna be so mad at me
This is like the one that exists. But let's try it. If the video suddenly cuts to black um you know why Ha ha Well you can really see what it can do I think it probably makes more sense to set it up All right so let me jump into it If you were in the market for a gaming monitor
like this MSI MPG, first of all, I think you've got taste
because the main thing you care about is panel quality, and that is what this can give you
It's kind of like looking at a phone with a bad screen. No matter how good that phone is
no matter how good the PC connected to the monitor is, the picture if it doesn't look good it doesn't matter its fidelity is not there if the colors
aren't there the black levels aren't there it is not going to matter what gpu you've got in
your gaming rig because it's all going to look bad the display quality i've said it for years
matters almost more than anything else and this is an area that high-end gaming monitors have come
a long way for especially in the past few years you don't have to make a choice anymore between
like high refresh rate and great quality, you actually have both. And that starts obviously with the panel
Most people are probably aware that OLED technology, each pixel illuminates itself
So when the pixels are turned off, you're actually getting black. They're not the sort of gray that you get with LEDs
It kind of tricks your brain into seeing blacks. And where this monitor differs
is that it's a third generation of cutie OLED technology. It means there's a quantum dot layer
on top of the OLED panel that's going to get significantly better color accuracy
a wider color gamut, sort of better peak brightness, all the things that regular OLEDs tend to struggle with
And if none of that means anything to you, just know this is what you're going to get
You're going to get a beautiful OLED display that just looks brighter
that just looks a bit more vibrant. And for gaming, it is like chef's kiss
the perfect combination. And when it comes to a monitor, I think those are the most important areas
not obviously just for gaming, but also maybe you want to do some work on this
So for example, when we're gaming or making these videos, having an accurate display is crucial
And this monitor gives you that right out of the box. That means for specs, it has 98% Adobe RGB coverage
99% DCI-P3 coverage, and sRGB coverage at 138%. And it can get to a thousand nits of brightness
And again, if that means nothing to you, it gets super bright and the colors look like they're supposed to look that's what matters it
also keeps going after that too this is a obviously killer monitor for gaming uh 120 hertz
is good for a monitor how about 240 hertz that is a refresh rate built in what about latency It got a 0 millisecond response time This eliminates screen tearing
which is the last thing I think you want in a game. And one area that is always a worry with OLED
and it's sort of always on my mind with OLED, even though it's not much of a concern anymore
It's still, from the old days, burned in my head, and that's because it's burned in
And longevity of sort of the display. If you don't know what burning is
used to be relatively common with the first or second generation of OLED technology. Maybe you're
watching sporting event a lot or news and like the logo is always in the same spot. When you turn the
TV to a different channel, you'd still sort of see like a ghost of that image. It hasn't been a problem
for years, but I think people who make OLED sets and companies make OLED sets want to eliminate
that and give buyers peace of mind. That's what MSI is doing. This thing comes with OLED Care 2.0
which has logo detection, taskbar detection, boundary detection, which will help eliminate
kind of all of those burden and fears. So this is not like a full-on review of this video
I can let you know if you wanna see that. This is generally just like a first impressions of sitting down and checking this out
So I'm gonna pull off plastic here. All right, so the first thing you look at
when you can see this is almost non-existent bezels. This thing is super thin and it flows off to the side
but the first thing I wanna check is the refresh rate. So even just like moving around a steam window
I don't know if that's gonna translate like on camera, but that looks trippy
Everything here is obviously like super smooth and running at 240 Hertz
YouTube would never be able to like capture this like appropriately, but the smoothness here
is definitely on point. It's also like insanely thin. It's more designed, I almost think like a TV
that you would mount on a wall than a monitor, like really thin, and then the components in the back
This is like a weird thing. You sit down and you don't really want to notice the monitor
You just want to watch and do what you're doing. You notice this one. You know it's something, even if you don't know about QD OLED
you don't know about refresh rates, like you can tell like something is good, right
The first time you see like a sports car, you're like, that's something different
You know nothing about cars. It's really similar here with what MSI has done. If you sit down and just move the mouse
you can tell like, that looks good. And then the more like you dive in
you can start to sort of see how things perform. So I gonna load up a game just to see how it goes The first impression style I put some Spider on here and just again straight up first impressions loading this for the first time on this monitor Give it a play
So if you look at your monitor or TV and you look at blacks, and you really like to look at them
unless it's an OLED or a cutie OLED, they will look very dark gray
This is obviously completely black. Look at the Insomniac logo. Like you'd expect from an OLED and cutie OLED here
those are pure black levels. What I really want to see is refresh
And it's even just like swinging around here. I mean, it looks like you'd expect from a 240 hertz monitor
It looks beautiful and smooth. Even just sort of jumping around here or swinging
The best comment I can give this is it looks exactly like I'd expect while playing a game on sort of a top tier 240 hertz 4K QD OLED monitor
This checks every single box, and the gaming experience looks to reflect that
So this has a bunch of I.O. built into it. So it kind of acts as a hub if you want
It's got DisplayPort 2.1, which supports 4K at 240 hertz. I think that's the port most people will use to connect their PC to it
It's got two HDMI 2.1 ports. It's got a single USB Type-C port to actually act as your DisplayPort
And it also delivers power with 98 watts of charging power, which I think is awesome if you want to connect the laptop to it
And MSI makes it also easy to use with multiple systems too. So they've got something called KVM support
since you control multiple systems with one monitor instead of peripheral. So perfect for, like, kind of dang, a PC, a PlayStation 5, or anything else
I feel, when I talk about monitors, the same way I feel like when I talk about TVs. Like, you can't know what it looks like unless you see it
You can look online, and they all look the same. They all have the same picture of a fish, generally
when you look at pictures of displays and monitors online. But when you see something in person, you can tell that it's different
You can tell that it's special. And yes, MSI did sponsor this video
My impressions here are genuine. QD OLED technology stands out above the rest
Every other technology while really good does their best to mimic QD OLED
To make it look as good as QD OLED, but almost never does it exceed what QD OLED can bring
You are getting incredible display quality. You're getting incredible brightness. after getting bonkers refresh rate
And it's all made by a company that's been around for a while that knows how to make quality products
I think what MSI has done here is probably make the perfect monitor for everybody
