The short version

The MAG 271QPX is a 26.5-inch 2560x1440 QD-OLED rated for 360 Hz, with 0.03 ms rated response, 99.1% DCI-P3, DisplayHDR True Black 400 and two HDMI 2.1 ports that MSI rates for 1440p at 360 Hz. A USB-C port carries video with 15 W charging, and MSI's three-year warranty includes burn-in. It suits fast 1440p gaming at a mid-range price, but MSI lists only AMD FreeSync for variable refresh and the USB-C port's charging is modest.

Common questions

Can this monitor reach 360 Hz over HDMI?

Yes. MSI's spec sheet rates its two HDMI 2.1 ports for 2560x1440 at up to 360 Hz, along with DisplayPort 1.4a and USB-C with DP Alt Mode.

Will the USB-C port charge my laptop?

Only slowly. MSI lists 15 W of power delivery, which is well below what most laptops draw under load, so plan on keeping your charger connected.
