3. Screen quality test: SRGB, ADOBE RGB, DCI-P3 color gamut full score brightness up to 833nit
1. Color gamut coverage.
In terms of color gamut volume, the MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED display supports 1639% srgb、112.9% adobe rgb、116.1 DCI-P3, which exceeds the nominal value.
However, if it exceeds 100%, it may cause the system to display a color cast or distorted picture, so you still need an official color correction file to let the system correctly display the color that should be displayed, that is, the color gamut coverage in the figure.
The measured color gamut coverage reached 100% sRGB, 953% adobe rgb、97.6% DCI-P3 is also excellent and can be used as a professional monitor.
It is worth noting that our daily color space is based on SRGB, and professional needs such as editing are based on DCI-P3 and Adobe P3.
In terms of color accuracy, the MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED display has a maximum delta E value of 1 after factory color calibration29, the lowest is 012, with an average delta E value of 037。
This kind of performance can perfectly cope with the needs of professional image and film processing.
2. Brightness test.
Looking at the MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED display alone, the white balance is very stable, all around 6500-6600.
The contrast ratio reaches 16220:1 at the highest brightness, the highest brightness is 206nit, and the lowest black is 001nit。
OLED screen has obvious advantages in color gamut and contrast, with a very high color gamut and accurate color, which is naturally better than LCD screen, and it is more eye-pleasing to the eye.
Let's test the brightness performance of the MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED display in both SDR and HDR modes.
In SDR mode, the MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED display has a maximum brightness of 22616nit。
After the OSD turns on the peak 1000nit mode, the maximum brightness reaches 833nit.
3. Display luminosity.
In the tonal response test, the luminosity is 22 is a standard value, and the closer the gamma curve is to 22 the better.
If it is below the standard gamma value of 22, then reflected in the game, that is, the performance of the light and dark parts will be very difficult.
Gamma curve for MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED Monitor 22 coincides exactly, very good.
4. Color uniformity.
100% color uniformity with a delta E of 0-11.
Compared to LCD screens, QD-OLED screens are very balanced in this regard.
For reference, the delta E of some LCD screens can reach a maximum of about 5 6, which is far less than the deviation of QD-OLED.
50% color uniformity, delta E gap further narrowed to 0-17 between.
5. Brightness uniformity.
100% brightness uniformity, with a maximum difference of 1%.
For reference, the maximum difference of LCD screen can reach 10%, which is enough to show the excellence of QD-OLED screen.
100% brightness uniformity, the maximum difference is only 2%, which is also a very good level.
4. OSD Menu Test: Designed for E-sports There are also several major OLED protection measures.
By entering the factory mode, it was learned that the panel used by the MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED display is QMC265FF01 from Samsung, which is natively supported by 25K resolution, 360Hz refresh rate, response speed of 01ms。
Now let's take a look at the OSD menu of the MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED monitor, and we can see that the main items have Gi., Gaming, Pro, Image, Input Source, Picture-in-Picture, Navigation Keys, Settings, MSI OLED Protection, and more.
Let's look at the first one, Gi.In fact, it is an abbreviation for MSI Gaming Intelligence, which is an app launched by MSI that can set the screen functions through mouse operation, as a substitute for the physical buttons on the screen.
There are three options in this option: KVM, Smart Crosshair, and Optix Sniper Scope.
The app is a combination of features, including game monitoring, in-game instructions, game profiles, system settings, hotkeys, joystick controls, and extra features such as the ability to implement picture-in-picture on MSI's monitors.
The main game options include game mode, AI vision, refresh rate, alarm clock, and adaptive-sync.
In professional mode, the best effects in different scenes are preset.
Here you can also turn on low blue light and image enhancement.
The image here is brightness, contrast, clarity, color temperature, and screen ratio design.
There is a highlight here, DisplayHDR can achieve a peak of 1000nit, and under HDR screen, it will have better picture performance than Ture Black 400.
MSI OLED protection measures, as the name suggests, are to slow down the aging of OLED, there are pixel shift, static screen detection, a variety of icon detection, taskbar detection, boundary detection, no manual intervention is required after opening, it will automatically monitor, maximize the life of the OLED panel.
5. Refresh rate and other functions: 360Hz is silky enough AI Vision to bring more transparent dark area details.
Refresh rate test.
The MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED monitor was tested in the UFO Test, from top to bottom at 360fps, 180fps, 90fps, 45fps, 23fps, 11fps.
It can be seen that the 360Hz refresh rate can bring a more coherent movement trajectory, and it is also smoother, and the drag is less obvious, especially in FPS games, the advantage will be more obvious.
ai vision
AI Vision switch comparison can allow the display to intelligently recognize the environment to improve the brightness of the dark part of the image, adjust the details of the dark area through AI calculation, and maintain the details of the bright area, so that the image is bright but not excessive**.
The picture above is off, and the picture below is on, you can see that after it is turned on, the dark shadow of the picture is brightened, but it is not silly bright, and the picture is very natural.
And this function can not only take effect on **, in fact, it can also be used in multiple scenarios such as games.
It should be noted that AI Vision and Night Vision can only choose one or the other, and cannot be turned on at the same time.
6. Summary: The king fried products in the display are all-round in games, audio-visual, and design.
