There is MSI Announced A new Esports gaming monitor with a few tricks up the sleeve. The MSI Optics MAG274QRF-QD The goal is to stand out from the crowd with the new Rapid IPS panel. MSI claims that Rapid IPS provides a response time that is 4 times faster than standard IPS panel technology. Other major attractions of the Optics MAG274QRF-QD are; Use of quantum dot technology, 27-inch diagonal, WQHD (2560×1440) resolution, 1 ms GTG response time, 165 Hz maximum refresh rate, G-sync compatibility.

The Quick IPS panel takes the charms of the typical IPS forward (reducing image distortion and color shifts when viewed from different angles). Optics MAG274QRF-QD I appreciate that the ‘quick’ comes from the praised fast response and updated rates. Below you can see the comparison in tablet form with other 27 inch MSI Magline gaming monitors (highlighted in blue).

As you can see, the QD panel seems to help color gamut / accuracy here, in which case the QD monitor measures its stablemates.

The technical feature above includes other important features not mentioned in the list; Low update rate limit of 48Hz, maximum brightness of 300nits, 1000: 1 aspect ratio, low blue light mode, anti-flicker, 5-way OSD controls or various gaming modes that you can use with MSI Gaming OSD application. These gamer flavored features include ‘Night Vision’, FPS, Racing, RTS and many more prizes. Finally, the Mystic Light RGB Ambient Lighting Effects are displayed on this monitor, including the ‘Game Echo’ on the monitor.

I have no pricing or availability information at the time of writing.
