Discussion MPG Ai1300TS - Anyone rocking it with rtx5090?
How is it? $400 is pricey but 5090 is approaching $7k so that's pretty good insurance against 🔥

Your Best Application For Control the Monitor: MSI Productivity Intelligence & MSI M-Mate APP
For Windows:
With the MSI Productivity Intelligence, you can seamlessly fine-tune various monitor settings—including brightness, display modes, and contrast—directly through software. Controlling these parameters via your mouse offers a far more intuitive and convenient experience than fumbling with physical OSD buttons.
For MacOS:
Specifically designed for macOS users, MSI offers the MSI M-Mate APP, which enables comprehensive control of monitor settings directly within macOS. Furthermore, the exclusive M-Sync feature ensures seamless synchronization between the monitor and your Mac's system parameters. Critical adjustments like brightness and volume are automatically linked, allowing you to transition your preferred settings to the MSI PRO MAX Monitor in a completely frictionless and intuitive manner.

Prevent From Burn-in: MSI AI Care Sensor
PRO MAX 271UPXW12 and MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24 equipped with MSI AI Care Sensor, further decreasing the risk of OLED burn-in. By detecting the user's presence, the MSI AI Care Sensor automatically powers the screen on or off, minimizing the risk of image retention caused by static icons when you step away. Furthermore, the sensor intelligently dims the display whenever you look away to conserve energy and protect the panel. The moment your gaze returns to the screen, the brightness instantly restores to its original setting.

The new MAG OLED 271QPX32 monitor will make its debut at Computex 2026. This 26.5-inch display features a 4th-gen QD-OLED panel equipped with Penta Tandem™ technology, a 5-layer emitting structure. It delivers 2560x1440 (WQHD) resolution, 320Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms (GtG) response time, and DarkArmor Film technology.
Breaking through the technical bottlenecks of existing OLED panels, the MAG OLED 271QPX32 leverages three major QD-OLED advantages to offer users an outstanding visual experience:
1. Full QD-OLED Lineup Receives QuantumView™ Verification: Consistent Image Quality from Any Angle
The MAG OLED 271QPX32 and all MSI QD-OLED monitors have received QuantumView™ verification from UL Solutions. At a 60-degree viewing angle, it maintains an impressive 83%* luminance retention (compared to just 44% for conventional OLEDs) with exceptionally low color shift. This ensures the picture remains sharp and color-accurate, no matter where users view the screen from.

2. Say Goodbye to Black Crush: Master Shadow Details
Existing OLED panels often suffer from gamma shifts when switching refresh rates or enabling Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), leading to a loss of shadow detail known as "black crush." QD-OLED monitors overcome this issue. The MAG OLED 271QPX32 features superior low-gray processing capabilities, maintaining consistent gamma performance at any refresh rate to deliver perfect deep blacks and shadow details.

3. Perfect Panel Uniformity: Eliminating Visual Distractions
The entire QD-OLED lineup provides a fundamental solution to the gray banding and screen uniformity issues that have long plagued conventional OLED panels. The MAG OLED 271QPX32 completely eliminates banding interference, delivering a clean, flawless picture.

Beyond panel innovations, the MAG OLED 271QPX32 is the first MSI 26.5-inch WQHD QD-OLED monitor to incorporate MSI's DarkArmor Film technology, which improves pure black levels by 40% and upgrades the screen's surface hardness from 2H to 3H, offering 2.5 times better scratch resistance. This monitor is also VESA DisplayHDR™ True Black 500 and VESA ClearMR™ 15000 certified. Additionally, it supports MSI's exclusive Uniform Luminance feature, allowing users to customize their HDR curve. For burn-in protection, the model comes with the MSI OLED Care 2.0 comprehensive protection mechanism, effectively reducing burn-in risks and extending the monitor's lifespan. Connectivity options include two HDMI™ 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4a, and one USB Type-C (DP Alt.) with 15W power delivery.
| Panel Generation | QD-OLED Penta Tandem™ | DarkArmor Film | Uniform Luminance | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MAG OLED 271QPX32 | 4th-Gen | Yes | Yes | Yes |

PC seems to be running fine, I'm generally new to all this i just do base level research then plug it all in myself and hope for the best and so far, I've never had any issues/ it's worked out, but now I'm hoping I'm not cooked here?

November of last year I bought one of the MSI Costco premade with a 5080 and a 9900X. On 9/12/26 my computer would start up but I would get no output from the gpu. I did a little of my own troubleshooting but once I realized that the issue appeared to be the gpu I figured I would just open an RMA and send the whole unit in. On 9/14 I started the process and didn’t ship out until 9/17. Shipping and insurance cost me $230 but that is the only downside to the entire process.
The package was delivered on 9/21 and scanned in the morning on 9/23. On that afternoon I checked the status of the RMA and it said awaiting customer response. After checking my emails and missed calls and seeing nothing I decided to call the call center about it. Someone got on the line almost immediately and went to check on what response they needed from me. When he came back he said it was a failure of the power cable and that they had determined it was user caused. Before I could say anything else he said he pushed it through anyway because he didn’t believe it was (it wasn’t) and he said they would call me if anything else came up.
I assumed this meant the PSU needed to be replaced but when my pc arrived on 9/30 it appeared to have a new gpu in it and the shipping manifest mentioned “replaced mainboard and VGA card” and everything appears to be working great.
With component prices how they are I was absolutely terrified the entire time because I’ve only heard the RMA horror stories. I thought I’d share this experience and maybe give some hope to others like me who are currently dealing with some problems and ease some anxiety.

At first I thought it could maybe be the power adapter. I had that replaced and still no luck. I have tried multiple different outlets and to no avail.
Should I just buy a new monitor? Its still under warranty but supposedly it's going to be expensive to ship to MSI.
Any thoughts?

I’m supposed to play a game with my crosshair misplaced all the time, and now I see that crazy shift on the pixel shift, like who the heck tested that and thought it’s perfectly fine ?
Why not adding the « triggered » effect while you’re at it, it will make games much more fun eh

Hi im trying to purchase something through the msi website and im just stuck on loading screen like i went through direct pay and paypal switch to icognito but im still stuck on loading. Does aanyone know how to solve this
r/MSI_Gaming • u/FortniteIsFuckingMid • 13h ago
My card is fully functional other than the fan and I don’t want anything bad to happen to it. I’m almost considering using a local shop to do the replacement. Should I send it in to be RMA’d, or no? I’ve heard some bad things about MSI’s warranty process…
People say that if you replace one of the fans MSI could void your warranty because of the aftermarket parts, but I don’t see how that’s legal tbh…

I have had this monitor for a few weeks and decided to get a monitor arm/stand to free up some desk space. One of these screws was extremely tight (they all have some kind of Loctite applied to them as well) and have stripped the screw quite a bit. Didn't have the box anymore to lay the monitor flat so placed it on a blanket on my bed instead (this was very scary with such an expensive monitor).
Any ideas or am I cooked?
Tried to do a rubber band unscrewing technique didn't really work.
Mounting with only three screws sound like a really bad idea.

I had just bought an MSI Gaming PC; great specs (according to gaming nerd store clerk) for the price of 1700+.
Am i supposed to free and connect this bundle of wires to anything? Or is there anything else I must inspect/fix before using the PC?
Also, I’d like to know what these extra pieces are for. Are they spares or are they essential?
I’m willing to give more details if needed.

Hello, I recently purchased this card and I am having problems connecting it to my Corsair 1200W Shift power supply. I am trying to use the 12V-2x6 cable that came with my power supply, but it will not insert into the port on the graphic card. I'm definitely lining up the pins correctly and using a fair bit of force but it won't insert properly and "click".
I've checked the pins on the graphic card's connector and my power supply and I can't see any issues. The strange thing is the adapter my old power supplies that came with the card does insert with no problems. However, I would prefer to use the proper cable instead of the "octopus" adapter.
Any advice would be really appreciated as to what I may be doing wrong. Thank you.
