MSI MPG 271QRX

Just looking at the new monitor moving from IPS to OLED and like the idea of the MSI MPG 271QRX

It has USB-C 90W does that mean you can power and display a laptop off the same port ?

Thanks

Yes exactly that, assuming your connected device can power at the delivered 90W. Also worth checking the max res/refresh rate of your graphics card on it and that USB-C connection to check it can support the 1440p 360Hz of the monitor

I have this monitor, so feel free to ask any questions. The USB-C port can be used for display, power delivery and (if you use it) KVM functionality all at the same time.

I have my mouse and keyboard plugged into the monitor, and when I use my desktop they are passed via the USB hub. If I plug in my laptop via the USB-C port then everything can switch to the laptop.

Just make sure you use the correct spec USB-C cable.

Just got this monitor today and set it up. Looks pretty good.

Did you change anything in the settings ?

I'm far from an expert, so I just used TFT central's settings as a base.

The main thing is just to ensure you're on the latest firmware which I was going to say is FW.011 but I see 012 was released a few days ago. I haven't tried 012 myself, but 011 fixed quite a few issues with input lag.

This is done through the 'Gaming Intelligence' app but your current firmware version can be seen (very faintly) on your OSD at the bottom right of the window.

Thanks all updated to .11 and settings applied

Lovely monitor and so smooth, just worry a little about screen burn in and task bar when working in the day 8-)
