27″ MSI Pro Max 271QPHW E14 – Full Specifications
Anyone moving up from a 1080p screen will notice the jump on the MSI Pro Max 271QPHW E14, a 27-inch QHD IPS monitor with a 144 Hz refresh rate.
Overview
Anyone moving up from a 1080p screen will notice the jump on the MSI Pro Max 271QPHW E14, a 27-inch QHD IPS monitor with a 144 Hz refresh rate. Resolution is 2560 × 1440 at 108 ppi, so text stays clear without much scaling. A 65 W USB-C port, two USB-A ports and a KVM switch turn it into a tidy laptop dock, and two 3 W speakers cover calls. The stand adjusts 110 mm in height and swivels. Weight with the stand is 6.4 kg.
