Gaming monitors have been continually improving, with modern options offering an increasingly immersive experience. Let’s check out the new esports monitor that MSI has just released, aimed towards maximizing how smoothly you’ll be able to experience multiplayer games on your PC. 

A lot of gaming monitors on the market are made for gamers who specifically play AAA titles, offering high resolution with infinite contrast ratios and superb colors. These are typically OLED panels, with 4K resolution and a 240 Hz refresh rate. 

But the MSI MPG 252R X60N is not one of those monitors. The specifications will definitely intrigue you, whether or not this is the kind of monitor for you. Let’s check out its characteristics and discuss how it can benefit your competitive gameplay experience.

MSI’s MPG 242R X60N features a Rapid TN panel. This is specifically made to optimize smoothness, and this monitor features 0.1 ms (gray to gray) response time. The resolution is 1080p Full HD, which may feel on the low side. But due to this monitor’s extremely high refresh rate, it is definitely understandable.

The new MSI MPG 242R X60N monitor offers a staggering 600 Hz refresh rate. This refresh rate pushes past the boundaries of 480 Hz into a whole new territory for competitive gaming monitors. This monitor definitely allows you to experience smoothness on a whole new level! But, if you’re thinking of grabbing this monitor, you should know that a capable PC is required that can output such high frame rates to take advantage of the 600 Hz refresh rate.

Who Is This Monitor For?

PCs powered by AMD’s 3D V-Cache processors (such as Ryzen 7 9800X3D and 7800X3D) and RTX 50 Series GPUs would surely suit such a monitor. It would be a delightful experience to use DLSS 4 MFG with adjusted graphics settings in games like The Marvels and The Finals, which are multiplayer games with support for DLSS Frame Generation.

The MSI MPG 242R X60N gaming monitor also supports multiple aspect ratios for those competitive gamers who like to play on 4:3 resolutions such as 1280×960 or 1024×768. Speaking of color space coverage, this monitor supports a wide color gamut with 93% DCI-P3, 119% sRGB, and 89% Adobe RGB coverage. It also sports DisplayHDR400, and for connectivity, the monitor features HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a, and USB Type-C supporting power delivery as well.
