MSI has launched the MAG 272UP QD-OLED E16, a 27-inch gaming monitor with a 4K resolution and 165Hz refresh rate. The monitor uses Samsung's 4th Gen QD-OLED panel with Penta Tandem technology, which MSI claims can sustain up to 1000 nits peak brightness while consuming less power than earlier generations.

Typical SDR brightness is 250 nits. Ports include two HDMI 2.1, one DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB-C port with 15W power delivery. The monitor lacks the Dark Armor film found on MSI's higher-end models.
