MSI, the world's leading manufacturer for true gaming hardware, is proudly expanding the hardware possibilities for all gamers. This time, we are honored to introduce our latest gaming monitor - MEG 271Q Mini LED that features NVIDIA G-SYNC ULTIMATE technology and patented mini LED backlight control. This monitor is equipped with a rapid IPS panel with spectacular WQHD resolution and features a lightning-fast 1 ms GtG response time with a 300 Hz refresh rate.

Definitely, it's a beast for competitive gamers and the E-sports scene. Experience extremely smooth and tear-free gameplay with built-in NVIDIA G-SYNC ULTIMATE technology. Patented Mini LED backlight control technology gives you a stunning gaming experience and incredible contrast by over 500 zones local dimming areas. Always improving, MSI will keep on challenging itself in the design of gaming monitors, and ensure that you are always ahead of your opponents.

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.

I like MSI monitors. Hopefully won't be too much

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

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.

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).

"Over 500 zones local dimming areas" and "over 1000+ mini LEDs on the backlight unit" so which one is it!?

I know that, but why mention it on the press release? Oh right, to confuse consumers gotcha

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

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.
