MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED vs Gigabyte AORUS FO27Q3

Hello. I just wanted to point out this tv model have different panel types depending on the region. I found that it has VA panel in Egypt. And this has led me to buy this TV. I tried comparing the tv with your findings particularly in contrast, blooming, local dimming etc. I found that the tv has very sufficient black level. And blooming was kept to a minimum. I also found the local dimming adequately effective. I hope there would be a chance to update the review while keeping the va panel model in mind. I think the va model is nearly identical to 2024 model in performanc

The European version of this TV, at least the 75-inch version has a VA panel, I ran the tests on my TV that I purchased for a heavily discounted price using a Display Pro HL and those were the results:

SDR Brightness: 2% 735 nits 10% 973 nits 25% 864 nits 50% 652 nits 100% 584 nits (Worth noting that values were higher before calibration by roughly 10 %. In Standard mode the values are 20 % higher than the ones mentioned above, except for the 2% windows, in which case it was about two thirds).

HDR Brightness 2% 682 nits 10% 937 nits 25% 831 nits 50% 671 nits 100% 590 nits Strangely enough, it has less brightness in HDR mode. Readings were taken many times under different viewing conditions. All power saving settings were set to off.

Native contrast ration: 1/4700 Dynamic contrast ratio: it was hard to measure this one as I do not have access to the Mosley videos used in RTINGS’ reviews, but it seems to be at around 1/60000. Native black at full 100% white field (with small black rectangle in the middle): 0.1382 (Brightness was around 630 nits, brightness here is different because this was measured before calibration, but calibration has no effect on native contrast) The blooming performance seemed to be on par with what the Q80D has.

Color gamut coverage: DCI-P3 90.7%

Viewing angels are bad, no wide viewing angle filter. Reflection handling is okay but not really good, no anti-glare filter for this TV in Europe (Just like all Q80 models that came before).

I can’t thank you enough for this, i bought a va version of this tv and this review have made feel like I’m missing out a lot , i was left wondering if i should have gone with the q80d despite it retailing at much higher price at that point .. your review made me much more comfortable with my purchase
