MSI unveils two 500Hz OLED Gaming Monitors ahead of Computex

MSI is pushing its OLED tech to the limit with these new 500Hz screens

MSI has officially revealed two new QD-OLED gaming monitors, both of which support 500Hz refresh rates and 0.03ms response times. These specifications make these monitors two of the fastest displays available. Both feature DisplayHDR True Black 500 certifications and VESA ClearMR 21000 certifications.

With a resolution of 1440p, both of these X50 series displays will deliver strong visuals thanks to their high resolution and OLED characteristics. Both screens use 3rd-generation QD-OLED panels and feature MSI’s OLED Care technology. While MSI has not revealed the burn-in warranty for these screens, it should be noted that 3-year warranties are common for MSI’s OLED monitors.

Below is what MSI has to say about their new 500Hz OLED monitors.
