Interested in price too. Soon will buy new monitor. Right now thinking of 32 inch. But knowing MSI overpriced stuff, I guess it will cost an arm.

Have MSI just made the perfect monitor? I'm using Viewsonic XG270QG atm, and is kinda looking to replace it soon. Viewsonic have just announced XG271QG featuring Nvidia Reflex, 240Hz and better LG panel. Tough descision.

Come on Samsung! Where is your 27 inch 240 Hz 1440p QD-OLED at?!

that would be amazing, but even if it did happen, it wouldn't be worth it money wise... prob 2 grand :(

This will be expensive. Take the MAG251RX(240hz 1080p, Gsync Compatible) at around $400, add $200 for the Gsync module, add another $200 for the mini-LED's, add another $200 for the 300hz QHD panel.

Estimate comes to $1000, which makes it $100 more expensive than the ROG Swift PG279QM(240hz, 1440p, Gsync Ultimate, $900).

112 numbers contained in 56 rectangles. Imagine 9 of these in a 3x3 grid. 1008 numbers contained in 504 rectangles.

That's about $1000 less than the average DisplayHDR1000 monitor.

Didn't know it was also HDR1000, as the TPU article didn't mention it. I'd add another $500-1000, for a final cost of $1500-2,000 and I feel like that's being generous. In any case, expensive. I guess this monitor could be attractive to serious FPS/Esports gamers with a lot of cash on hand that are finally looking to upgrade from 1080p, but as a non-esports gamer if I'm spending $1600-2000 I'm willing to sacrifice HDR1000 for HDR400-600 with more screen real-estate in 32-49" monitors or even possibly OLED TV's.
