Our Verdict
MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED
Samsung Odyssey OLED G60SD S27DG602S
The MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED and the Samsung Odyssey OLED G60SD S27DG602S are competing 1440p, 360Hz QD-OLEDs. While there are some minor differences in performance, the main difference between them is their screen coatings. The MSI has a glossy coating that results in a clearer image than the matte coating of the Samsung, which in turn does a better job at reducing glare. The MSI also has some extra perks, like a USB-C port and a KVM switch, so it's the better choice for connecting different devices and computers to it.

MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED vs Samsung Odyssey OLED G60SD S27DG602S: Main Discussion
What do you think of these products? Let us know below.
Looking for a personalized buying advice from the RTINGS.com experts? Insiders have direct access to buying advice on our insider forum.
So to summarise the advantages of getting the 271QRX: • MSI has a KVM switch which is great for multi machine set up (I have a work laptop and PC that shares screens and input devices) • MSI has a 90w PD usb c that works as displayport so I can directly connect my laptop to the monitor without needing a dock anymore • MSI has proper HDMI 2.1 support/bandwidth at 4k resolution for consoles • MSI has better control buttons (three) and placement • The Pixel shift feature on the Samsung is not an option in the OSD and would make me worry not being able to control it • (Subjective) Reflective screen is better when you can control light sources as it does not diffuse light - the matt coating seems to diffuse light across the screen which from a user perspective will make the colours coming from the screen washed out. The zoom in photo of the Samsung shows that the pixels almost look like a watery and coarse mixture due to the matte coating which I would imagine look washed which it already does from that zoomed perspective - thus, less sharp and vivid if placed side by side with the MSI. • Samsung seems to have response time spikes on the fringes of the response time matrix - which tells me poor software implementation, which is worrying, especially if you’re a competitive FPS player (CSGO/Valorant)
