MSI announces several firmware updates for its MPG QD-OLED monitors, MAG series get nothing
MSI has announced a long list of updates coming to the QD-OLED monitor lineup.
As we have already mentioned, MSI has two series of monitors: MPG and MAG. The latter is a cheaper alternative based on nearly the same hardware, but with the lower price comes a limitation: no firmware update. MSI has just showcased what this firmware would have been if they were also available for the MAG series.
The latest May 6th updated for the firmware version 010 has added eleven changes to the series, including fixes for color gamut, optimization for languages, fixes for image flickering or input lag optimizations. These updates are for two monitors, namely MPG 271QRX QD-OLED, MPG 321URX QD-OLED, both of which are part of the MEG series.
These changes not only fix existing features but expand support for new aspect rations, add DSC modes or add a functionality that was requested by users (disable power LED when the monitor goes to sleep).
MSI 2024 May 6th firmware update
- DSC switch added to the OSD to enable DLDSR and DSR modes.
- MPG 271QRX QD-OLED: Added HDMI PC/Console switch in the OSD. (MPG 271QRX QD-OLED default setting is “Console” mode.)
- Support for a variety of aspect ratios, MPG 321URX QD-OLED allows selection between a 24.5” and 27” option, MPG 271QRX QD-OLED allows 24.5″.
- Fixed Color Gamut clamping while HDR is enabled. HDR mode will now store separate present mode settings.
- Optimized multiple language issues.
- Fixed image flicker issue when VRR is enabled.
- Added “Power LED” switch in the OSD to allows users to turn it off.
- Input lag and latency optimization.
- Fixed problem with white line during 2560×1440@360Hz. (MPG 271QRX QD-OLED only).
- Fixed displayed abnormal (dark screen) after VRR switched.
- Optimize a behavior of panel protect while protect completed that depends as executing power states.
Those are some significant updates that would also be welcomed by other monitor series, except the MSI MAG models do not have any way to upgrade the firmware.
