The combination of 280Hz refresh, near-instant response, and clean motion makes this a highly capable competitive gaming monitor.

MSI Pro MP165 E6

Competitive gaming is a poor fit because the 60Hz ceiling limits fast-paced play. Casual gaming is much less problematic.

Fast movement stays clean and sharp, with reviewers repeatedly praising the smoothness in both esports and cinematic games.

The QD-OLED panel is the monitor’s defining strength, delivering richer color, deeper blacks, and a more striking image than typical IPS or VA screens.
