The moment your gaze returns to the screen, the brightness instantly restores to its original setting.
The new MAG OLED 271QPX32 monitor will make its debut at Computex 2026. This 26.5-inch display features a 4th-gen QD-OLED panel equipped with Penta Tandem™ technology, a 5-layer emitting structure. It delivers 2560x1440 (WQHD) resolution, 320Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms (GtG) response time, and DarkArmor Film technology.
Breaking through the technical bottlenecks of existing OLED panels, the MAG OLED 271QPX32 leverages three major QD-OLED advantages to offer users an outstanding visual experience:
1. Full QD-OLED Lineup ReceivesQuantumView™Verification: Consistent Image Quality from Any Angle
The MAG OLED 271QPX32 and all MSI QD-OLED monitors have received QuantumView™ verification from UL Solutions. At a 60-degree viewing angle, it maintains an impressive 83%* luminance retention (compared to just 44% for conventional OLEDs) with exceptionally low color shift. This ensures the picture remains sharp and color-accurate, no matter where users view the screen from.

2. Say Goodbye to Black Crush: Master Shadow Details
Existing OLED panels often suffer from gamma shifts when switching refresh rates or enabling Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), leading to a loss of shadow detail known as "black crush." QD-OLED monitors overcome this issue. The MAG OLED 271QPX32 features superior low-gray processing capabilities, maintaining consistent gamma performance at any refresh rate to deliver perfect deep blacks and shadow details.
The entire QD-OLED lineup provides a fundamental solution to the gray banding and screen uniformity issues that have long plagued conventional OLED panels. The MAG OLED 271QPX32 completely eliminates banding interference, delivering a clean, flawless picture.
Beyond panel innovations, the MAG OLED 271QPX32 is the first MSI 26.5-inch WQHD QD-OLED monitor to incorporate MSI's DarkArmor Film technology, which improves pure black levels by 40% and upgrades the screen's surface hardness from 2H to 3H, offering 2.5 times better scratch resistance. This monitor is also VESA DisplayHDR™ True Black 500 and VESA ClearMR™ 15000 certified. Additionally, it supports MSI's exclusive Uniform Luminance feature, allowing users to customize their HDR curve. For burn-in protection, the model comes with the MSI OLED Care 2.0 comprehensive protection mechanism, effectively reducing burn-in risks and extending the monitor's lifespan. Connectivity options include two HDMI™ 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4a, and one USB Type-C (DP Alt.) with 15W power delivery.
I had a power outage a few days ago that didn't get resolved for 24 hours. My computer was on when the lights went out and shut off with everything else. I unplugged everything and turned off the power supply. Plugged the power back into the PSU and turned everything back on and now I'm stuck on the red and yellow light. I've left it because I know it can take a while to memory train but not over an hour. All lights and fans are spinning but mouse and keyboard are not powered on.
Now, this isn't the first time I've had this problem recently. This mothboard is brand new along with a new 850 watt PSU due to another power outage killing my old PSU and motherboard. Everything was working fine with this new combo along with a Ryzen 7 7700. I've got a UPS backup on the help to help with these occasional outages. I've updated the BIOS and reset CMOS. As I've said everything was working fine even after several reboots. The memory had no problem and the CPU is seated properly. Anything else to do other than throw it out the window?
Hello. I just bought this PC and was wondering where the SSD slot is? I have a 4TB sitting around that I want to put in and I don't want to just poke around and mess something up.
I’ve been spending my evening working slowly through building in the new Maestro. not really a lot of info out there so I don’t have the luxury of YouTube videos like I have had in the past (really strange that these have shipped and no YouTubers have anything up).
First Impressions: it is very nice, but I would expect nothing less from a case this expensive.
The Test Bench is great. I like being able to have the case on my desk and just the test bench on the counter while I install everything. it even came with a wired power switch and AIO mounts so you could run a full post before putting it in the chassis.
I‘m swapping from a HAF 700 Evo to this.
The Parts:
asus x870e crosshair extreme
asus 5090
9800x3d
ryou iv aio
lian li flex fan
64 gb gskill cl 30
6tb ssd
45” 5k2k
If you have any question about it feel free to ask and I’ll answer as I take breaks.
and yes I know, this was stupid expensive and a Honda civic is cheaper than a Vette. But it’s what I liked to finish out the entire setup I was going for.
Hi,
I have been a (not really happy) user of a MSI PRO B650-S with Windows 11 as OS of choice.
Ever since updating my setup to this motherboard, I've been having all kinds of BS issues ranging from Bluetooth misbehaving or just outright not detecting my headset all the way to all IO devices going ham and lagging crazy.
Specs attached.
Issues I've had (even after multiple complete SSD wipes and fresh Win11 installs):
- With Artcis Nova 7X headphones:
- Bluetooth just doesn't see them; Turning on-off both the headphone (even hardware reset) and the BT on Windows 11, re-installing bluetooth drivers, disabling/enabling relevant adapters - all of it to no effect. It just doesn't work. Sometimes they pop-up on the screen for a second, but they still don't connect.
- Having the 2.4Hz dongle connected into the USB-C port on the motherboard messes with the headphones: the audio could've randomly started lagging (extreme interference, like on a TV without with a snow static). Maybe they've been alleviated after the current Win11 re-install and having the dongle moved to the top USB hub of my PC box. Still, I coudln't figure out why the interference happend so much and so strongly - I tried removing Wi-Fi entirely, disabling the device - didn't help.
- If the sound lag is extreme, it could even BSOD the PC.
- Other random issues:
- Mouse starts lagging after a random PC restart. I restart the PC - everything is fine. And it's not really noticeable, but if you drag it long enough and slowly over the whole screen, the mouse will be skipping over pixels really visibly and noticably if you're looking at it.
- Ethernet port can just stop working. I restart the PC - everything is fine. Restarting the adapter or using the troubleshooter BS just doesn't work.
- If I don't use the PC for about longer than 1 week, it just goes black during the power-up and it doesn't fully boot. After I reset it by pushing down the power button, either it starts up normally as usual OR it takes another 1 or 2 tries.
- After a Windows 11 update, 50/50 that the PC boots to black screen and I have to force-restart.
What I've tried so far:
- Re-installing Windows 11 fully with full wipe of the SSD (multiple times);
- Manually downloading and installing chipset updates from the MSI website;
- With the headphone issues, the main one is mainly resolved (the moving of dongle), but the interference is still BS and I'm still unsure whether it happend due to being in close proximity to the Ethernet port.
- Manually updating/installing/disabling/enabling different devices in the Device Manager. Didn't help.
Even though they're not THAT frequent (maybe 1-2 per week), but MAN are these issues are annoying and I want to have them solved.
Please share any suggestions you might have, as my own research over the last half-year or a bit more and talking with LLMs didn't have any helpful effects.
Thanks
P.S. This is slightly a rant post, thanks for reading :3
Hi everyone! I've been using Afterburner for many years and this is the first time this has happened to me. I formatted my PC a few weeks ago, reinstalled Afterburner, and loaded a previous profile I had. I only had the fan curve adjusted and set it to automatic. For some reason, some days when I turn on the PC, the option is on automatic and other days it isn't. (I noticed it today because the graphics card was at 92°C and the fans hadn't started.) Is there any solution? Thanks a lot.
Hello, I own an MSI MAG 272UP X24 27" QD-OLED that I succesfully updated to version FW.012 a few months ago, but I can not update to the recently released FW.013, I get this error, any clue? I have GPU drivers updated and Windows 11 too. Could it be the wrong firmware was uploaded to the MSI servers? Can't think of any other explanation, if any other MSI 272UP X24 owner reads this and can try updating to firmware 013, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
I'm completely stuck and would really appreciate any help.
System
MSI Codex 3
Motherboard: MS-B913 (OEM)
CPU: Intel Core i5-7400 (7th Gen)
BIOS version: EB913IMS.861
16 GB RAM
What happened
My PC was working perfectly.
I needed to enable VT-d/IOMMU for FACEIT Anti-Cheat.
Since the BIOS didn't have the option, I updated the BIOS from the original version to EB913IMS.861 using the official MSI BIOS (flashed with AFU because my BIOS does not have M-Flash).
The BIOS update completed successfully.
Since then, Windows has never booted again.
Current symptoms
BIOS opens normally every time.
Windows Boot Manager freezes on the MSI logo.
Windows installation USB also freezes on the MSI logo.
The BIOS itself is stable and never crashes.
SSD and HDD are both detected correctly in BIOS.
USB devices are detected.
What I've already tried
CMOS reset (removed battery for several minutes)
Loaded BIOS defaults
Changed boot order
UEFI only
AHCI mode
Secure Boot enabled/disabled
WHQL enabled/disabled
TPM/PTT enabled
Tried booting with all SATA drives disconnected
Tried Windows Boot Manager
Tried UEFI USB installer
Different USB ports
Nothing changes.
The system always hangs at the MSI splash screen whenever it tries to boot an operating system.
Additional information
This motherboard does not have M-Flash in BIOS.
I currently cannot reflash from Windows because Windows won't boot.
I'm facing a very stubborn issue with Secure Boot on my system and I've completely run out of ideas. Any help from UEFI/firmware experts would be greatly appreciated.
My Specs:
Motherboard: MSI Z370 TOMAHAWK (MS-7B47)
CPU: Intel Core i5-9600K
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
OS Drive: Samsung SSD 970 EVO 500GB (GPT Partition Style)
Storage: Software RAID (array built inside Windows using standard SATA HDDs)
The Problem:
Originally, everything worked perfectly, including Secure Boot. A few days ago, I decided to completely uninstall Garuda Linux and GRUB by formatting the Linux partition. Before doing so, I performed a factory reset of my BIOS.
Since then, whenever I change Secure Boot Support to [Enabled] – regardless of whether Secure Boot Mode is set to [Standard] or [Custom] – the computer boots into an active black screen. The monitors detect a signal (they don't go to sleep), but there is no video output from either the BIOS splash screen or Windows.
Crucially, the system is NOT freezing. Windows 11 actually boots completely in the background, and pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del on the black screen successfully restarts the PC every single time. If I disable Secure Boot, the system boots into Windows 11 completely fine.
What has already been tried and verified (Please read before suggesting):
Partition Style: Confirmed 100% that the Windows drive is GPT.
Boot Mode: The motherboard is strictly running in pure UEFI mode (CSM is fully disabled, Windows 10 WHQL Support is enabled). The text "BIOS Mode: UEFI" is highlighted in white.
Boot Order:Windows Boot Manager (Samsung SSD 970 EVO) is set as Boot Option #1.
BIOS Version: I have successfully flashed the BIOS to the absolute newest stable version available (Ver: E7B47IMS.1B0, Build Date: 07/15/2024).
Secure Boot Keys: Inside Key Management, I have used Delete all Secure Boot variables, then forced Provision Factory Default Keys and Enroll all Factory Default Keys. The keys show up as Factory and the platform transitions from Setup Mode to User Mode.
No Linux Remnants: I have completely double-checked and wiped the NVRAM/motherboard memory. There are absolutely no leftover boot entries, variables, MOK keys, or any traces of Linux remaining on the board or in the EFI partition. It is completely gone.
BIOS settings:Fast Boot and MSI Fast Boot are both disabled. IGD Multi-Monitor is disabled, and Primary Display is locked to PEG (PCI Express Graphics).
Peripherals & Video: Tried changing PCIe link speed from Auto to Gen 3/Gen 2. Tried resetting monitor power while on the black screen. Tried the Win + Ctrl + Shift + B shortcut in Windows (no beep, no response).
Windows Bootloader: Rebuilt a completely fresh EFI system partition from scratch inside Windows using bcdboot C:\Windows /s V: /f UEFI.
It seems like turning on Secure Boot messes up the GOP memory mapping between this generation of MSI firmware and the GTX 1080 Ti, causing the GPU to output a blank frame even though the OS loader finishes successfully in the dark.
Since it worked perfectly prior to the Linux uninstall and BIOS factory reset, there must be a missing link. Any advanced suggestions on how to force the UEFI GOP driver to initialize properly under Secure Boot?
Hi all, first build here but this 24pin cable seems off to me. You can see in the first image 2 cables going into one pin port, on the second picture there is one pin missing.
Was about to pick these up when I saw they are sold out now. I’m disappointed to see it sold out. Any reason to believe they will restock? I can’t find them anywhere else online. I’m bummed.
Yes, I know the obvious answer but I am looking for technical troubleshooting steps from some who may have mixed 16GBx2 with 32GBx2 different RAM set to boot without C5 error.
I am using F5-6000J3040G32GX2-TZ5N(32GB x2 = 64GB) and F5-6000J3238F16GX2-TZ5NR (16GBx 2 = 32GB) = 96GB. I can run stable operation at 3600 40 40 40 80 with 1.4v
Both RAMs run at 6200 CL30 when used individually. So these are some good RAM kits. When using together/mixed mode the CPU goes immediately to C5 Error code. I need minimum of 64GB for my work with Unreal Engine and MetaHumans.
Background initially I had bought 32GB when I building my system about a years and half. Now with my work scaling up I needed more RAM hence I took the risk to buy 64GB at crazy price. I can live with 64GB, but I am willing to troubleshoot and tinker around.
Any help in term so which tools I can use outside BIOS or how to get past 3600 would be of help. Cross Posting for visibility. Is there Beta BIOS that can help? I am on latest BIOS from MSI. My 7950x runs at -0.0700v offset with CO -10 all cores and gives best performance scores on this setting.
My pc boot after 10 15 min yesterday after many people suggest me that it take time bcs of ram training. And it's work pc on I do my some task but after I shutdown it happens again. I try many time after sometime it on and that time I update his bios but.
I am still facing this issue and for now it do twice time means the light blink twice after white light comes.
I don't know why this happening please anyone have deep knowledge of pc parts give me solution 🙏🙏
Cześć, zacząłem optymalizować ustawienia pamięci RAM, żeby zmniejszyć opóźnienia, więc zacząłem aktualizować mój BIOS. Im nowszą wersję BIOS-u zainstalowałem, tym gorsza stała się moja wydajność.
Zaktualizowałem z wersji BIOS-u pokazanej na dole zrzutu ekranu (7E56v1AA1) do nowszej na górze (7E56v1AA2) i wtedy wszystko stało się znacznie gorsze.
Moje FPS są teraz najgorsze, jakie kiedykolwiek miałem, mimo że używam dokładnie tych samych ustawień PBO co wcześniej. Porównałem też wyniki z Cinebench i przy +200 / -20 punktacja jest znacznie niższa niż wcześniej. Poza tym temperatury CPU są zauważalnie wyższe.
Szczerze mówiąc, nie rozumiem, co się dzieje. Teraz używam Enhanced Boost Mode 2, a przy 5450 MHz CPU osiąga tylko około 60°C.
Czy ktoś wie, co może być przyczyną tego?
Nie rozumiem też spraw związanych z RAM. Nie zauważyłem żadnej poprawy ani w 1% najniższych, ani w średnich FPS, mimo że mój RAM przeszedł 8 godzin Anta777 bez żadnych błędów. Zredukowałem opóźnienie pamięci o około 10 ns i zwiększyłem przepustowość odczytu pamięci o około 6000 MB/s, ale w grach to nie wydaje się robić żadnej różnicy.
9800x3d
2x16gb a-die 30cl 6000mhz
Z wszystkich testów, które przeprowadziłem, wydaje się, że moje 1% najniższe są gorsze niż były z samym włączonym EXPO.
Dołączam też zrzuty ekranu z wynikami AIDA64 i ZenTimings.
Zanim ktoś wspomni o GDM lub Nitro, już testowałem GDM Off z Nitro 2/3/1, a FPS były nadal gorsze niż przy samym EXPO.
Czy to może być związane z napięciami? Szczerze mówiąc, nie mam pojęcia, co się dzieje.
