The monitor I use is nearly 10 years old, so I've been eyeballing the MPG 321URX QD-OLED as a nice hefty upgrade.
Problem is that
RTing's review for the MPG 271QRX QD-OLED, which I assume is the 27" 1440p version of the exact same display, has pretty fucking atrocious latency at lower refresh rates, particularly with VRR.
| Native (No VRR) | Input Lag |
| 360Hz | 2.8 ms |
| 120Hz | 15.3 ms |
| 60Hz | 24.4 ms |
The MSI MPG 271QRX has very low input lag at its max refresh rate, and at 240Hz, it also has a low input lag of 3.4 ms. However, at 120Hz and 60Hz, it has considerably more input lag than other comparable monitors, like the Dell Alienware AW2725DF. Additionally, when VRR is turned on, the input lag increases substantially, as you can see in the table below:
| VRR Refresh Rate | Input Lag |
| 360Hz | 4.8 ms |
| 120Hz | 28.9 ms |
| 60Hz | 48.2 ms |
Unless I'm misreading or misunderstanding something, this is a pretty big
what the fuck for me. I am far more likely to use a 4K VRR monitor at
lower refresh rates as I crank the bells and whistles of many games that I'll be comfortable seeing through at ~60fps. Other stuff, like Battlefield, will sit at closer to ~144Hz (like my current monitor). But even so, I'd like to enable GSync / VRR to clean up frames, and those input lag spikes are awful.
Am I missing something? Or is this monitor a clear miss if you're not aiming for frames at absurdly high hz?
