Our take
MSI's MPG 491CQPS combines QD-OLED technology with a 49-inch ultrawide format for under $600—an incredible value. The 0.03ms response time and 144Hz refresh rate deliver buttery-smooth motion, and the 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio ensures perfect blacks. HDMI 2.1 with 48Gbps bandwidth supports console gaming. Color accuracy is excellent with 99% DCI-P3. The only downside is the typical 250 cd/m² brightness, which may be dim for bright rooms. Also, OLED burn-in is a long-term concern, but MSI's OLED Care 2.0 helps. Overall, this is a phenomenal monitor for both gaming and multimedia.
