MSI MPG 491CQPX QD‑OLED 49-inch 1440p 240Hz curved ultrawide gaming monitor

The MSI MPG 491CQPX QD‑OLED 49‑inch curved ultrawide gaming monitor is engineered for serious gamers, pro content creators and power users who demand extreme responsiveness, deep contrast and a panoramic workspace. Combining QD‑OLED panel technology with a Dual‑QHD (DQHD) 5120×1440 resolution and a native 240Hz refresh rate, the MSI MPG 491CQPX QD‑OLED delivers an unmatched blend of speed and color fidelity that elevates competitive play and HDR content creation alike.

Visual performance is the headline: QD‑OLED merges the perfect black levels and pixel‑level contrast of OLED with quantum‑dot color enhancement to produce vivid HDR highlights, wide color gamut coverage and true‑to‑life saturation. At DQHD resolution the 49‑inch curved panel offers an immersive 32:9 field of view with high pixel density, ideal for sim‑racing, flight sims, strategy games and timeline‑heavy video editing. The panel’s extremely low response time (manufacturer rated at fractions of a millisecond) and 240Hz refresh rate reduce motion blur and input latency so fast targets remain clear and crisp.

For competitive gamers, adaptive sync compatibility is essential: the MSI MPG 491CQPX QD‑OLED supports both NVIDIA G‑Sync Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, ensuring smooth frame pacing across modern GPUs and minimizing tearing without sacrificing high refresh rates. The monitor’s low input lag modes, fast overdrive tuning and stable frame timing give an edge in fast‑paced shooters and esports titles.

Beyond gaming, the ultrawide DQHD canvas is a productivity multiplier. Video editors and creative professionals gain a single, bezel‑free timeline view; developers and financial analysts benefit from expansive horizontal workspace for code, logs and spreadsheets; streamers can monitor chat, OBS and gameplay simultaneously. Factory color calibration and wide DCI‑P3 coverage make the MSI MPG 491CQPX QD‑OLED suitable for color‑critical review and HDR preview workflows, reducing reliance on secondary reference displays.

Ergonomics and connectivity are built for real setups. The monitor ships with a height‑adjustable stand (tilt and swivel where supported), VESA compatibility for desk arms, and a modern input array (DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, and USB hub options) that supports high‑frame‑rate PC gaming and console HDR modes. Integrated OSD features and MSI gaming presets let you fine‑tune black equalizer, color temperature and crosshair overlays without leaving your desk.

Reliability and warranty coverage matter for an investment at this tier. MSI typically backs flagship monitors with robust local warranties and service plans — check retailer terms and extended coverage options if you plan pro‑use or long studio hours.
