This 26.5-inch QHD gaming monitor pairs a 500Hz QD-OLED panel with a genuine DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20 input, whose 80Gbps of bandwidth carries native 1440p at 500Hz with 10-bit color and no compression. Two HDMI 2.1 ports also reach 500Hz, and a USB-C input adds DisplayPort Alt Mode video plus up to 98W of power delivery so a laptop can drive the screen and charge over one cable. A USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub (one USB-B upstream, two USB-A downstream) and a 3.5mm jack complete the layout.
MSI’s 27″ 500Hz QD-OLED with DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20, dual HDMI 2.1, a 98W USB-C input and a USB 3.2 hub.
