MSI has just unveiled its monster MPG 491CQPX gaming monitor, with a gigantic super-ultrawide 49-inch QD-OLED panel with a native 5120 x 1440 resolution, and super-smooth 240Hz refresh rate.

The new MSI MPG 491CQPX QD-OLED gaming monitor features a native 5120 x 1440 resolution, which is the same as having 2 x 1440p (2560 x 1440, so 2560 x 2 = 5120) displays side-by-side, without any bezel. A gigantic 49-inch QD-OLED panel at 240Hz, ready for those next-level experiences in games like Flight Simulator, or a multitude of space and driving games.

The Technology Behind the MPG 491CQPX

The company is using a custom heatsink and graphene-based film to keep the 49-inch QD-OLED cool, with fantastic thermal conductivity through graphene versus using an active fan, making MSI's new MPG 491CQPX QD-OLED gaming monitor completely silent during operation.

QD-OLED Panels

The monitor uses a next-gen QD-OLED panel for precise pixel lighting control and reproducing true blacks. The contrast ratio is, therefore, 1,500,000:1, ensuring vivid images and a wonderful viewing experience.

Fan-less Cooling System

The new QD-OLED panels are all equipped with Graphene film, known for its exceptional thermal conductivity for heat dissipation, and a customized heatsink design. The synergy between these two elements enables the entire monitor to operate without an active cooling fan, achieving a fan-less design. This ensures efficient and silent heat dispersion, further extending the panel's lifespan.

OLED Care 2.0

In addition to the original protection methods like Pixel Shift, Panel Protect, and Static Screen Detection, OLED CARE 2.0 version adds Multi Logo Detection, Taskbar Detection, and Boundary Detection to provide enhanced care services and significantly reduce the chances of OLED screen burn-in.

There's also a multitude of connectivity on the MPG 491CQPX QD-OLED gaming monitor, with DisplayPort 1.4a, HDMI 2.1, USB-C with Power Delivery of up to 98W (damn good), 2 x USB 2.0 Type-A and 1 x USB 2.0 Type-B ports.
