MSI's new MPG 491CQPX QD-OLED gaming monitor has launched, a huge new 49-inch super ultrawide QD-OLED gaming monitor with a native 5120 x 1440 resolution and super-smooth 240Hz refresh rate. The company launched the MPG 491CQP QD-OLED gaming monitor earlier this year, but the new MPG 491CQPX (that "X" is the differentiator) with the Dual QHD QD-OLED panel essentially dual 2K monitors side-by-side with a monster 5120 x 1440 resolution. The earlier model (MPG 491CQP) had a 144Hz refresh rate, but the newer MPG 491CQPX has a faster 240Hz refresh rate and 0.
03ms response time. MSI's new MPG 491CQPX QD-OLED gaming monitor also packs DisplayHDR True Black 400 and VESA ClearMR 13000 certifications, as well as MSI's in-house OLED Care 2.0 technology which should reduce (but not totally prevent) OLED burn-in.
The company is also offering a 3-year burn-in warranty, which isn't a bad deal. On the connectivity side of things, there's an HDMI 2.1 port but the downside here is the DisplayPort 1.
4 connectivity (versus DisplayPort 2.1, so expect that to drop in 2025, most likely revealed at CES 2025 in January). MPG 491CQPX QD-OLED gaming monitor: We don't know the official pricing on MSI's new MPG 491CQPX QD-OLED gaming monitor, but considering its predecessor with a slower 144Hz refresh rate costs $949 right now, an $1099 price sounds about right.
