Gamer or Content Creator? Here’s why you need a quality ultrawide display like the MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED to level up work and play
Getting a quality ultrawide display can massively level up your gaming experience and your productivity too. Unlike conventionally shaped monitors, the expanded width of an ultrawide curved display not only lets you multitask more effectively than ever before but you’re also able to experience games in an immersive new way while making viewed content more comfortable to see with less distortion onscreen.
However, not all ultrawide angle displays are made equal as some are designed purely for content creators while others are designed purely for gaming. Fortunately, the new MSI MPG 491CQP QS-OLED ultrawide angle monitor excels at both, offering near faithful colour accuracy and ultra smooth refresh rates on a breathtakingly huge 49-inch ultra wide curved display.
It even has a special array of features that make it ideal for use in demanding productivity tasks like spreadsheets, documents and more. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Here’s why a quality curved ultra wide display like the MSI MPG 491CQP QS-OLED can help level up work and play whether you’re a gamer, a content creator or both!

But that’s not the best part – getting an MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED also offers peace of mind as it integrates MSI’s latest updated OLED Care 2.0 tool to prevent potential screen burn-in. But what makes MSI’s OLED Care 2.0 tool for the MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED so good anyway?
MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED – What makes MSI OLED Care 2.0 tech good for extending panel lifespan and mitigate burn-in?
OLED panels are renowned for their ability to render superbly rich colours though the biggest worry that users have is the potential risk of screen burn-in where a static image that stays onscreen for too long especially at maximum brightness settings can result in it getting etched onto the screen permanently.
To deal with this potential risk, the MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED display has MSI OLED Care 2.0 tech, a feature integrated into MSI’s Gaming Intelligence app that is preinstalled on the display itself. With MSI OLED Care 2.0, the display gets much smarter in detecting static content and reducing its luminance along with pixel shifting to prevent screen burn-in.
The latest 2.0 update enables the display to detect static items seen on a screen like a Windows taskbar, onscreen logos, the scrolling ticker tape seen in news TV channels and even boundary detection too in images to prevent screen burn-in. For additional peace of mind – the MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED also gets a comprehensive 3 year OLED warranty too against screen burn-in*.

MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED – Superior colour reproduction for content creators
On top of a solid 3 year OLED warranty and preventative screen burn-in tech, the QD-OLED pane used in the MSI MPG 491CQP is able to offer precise pixel-level dimming for deep, pure blacks in movies and gaming without the characteristic pale white glow of backlight bleeding seen in LCD monitors.
Better yet, the display itself is capable of displaying a whopping 1.07 billion colours onscreen, enabling it to offer up a 99% DCI-P3 colour gamut, enabling it to display near lifelike colour rendition.
Colour accuracy has also been meticulously calibrated, ensuring that the display maintains a delta-E (ΔE) ≤ 2, meaning that the display has an infinitesimally minor difference from actual colour rendition from the factory. In addition, the display also has a VESA Certified DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, vouching for its depth of colour and accuracy too.
The sheer size of the MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED’s 49-inch display makes video editing an easier task as you can see much more of your timeline and enjoy more screen real estate too
For extended comfort when used for long hours editing videos or gaming, the panel also integrates a blue light reduction layer to reduce eyestrain while allowing for natural colours onscreen without the characteristic ghastly yellow tone seen in conventional software-based blue light reduction solutions. The MSI MPG 491CQP even has Eye Care Less Blue Light Pro certification by TÜV Rheinland too, vouching for its ability to reduce harmful blue light emissions.
The extended dimensions of the MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED enable users to multitask more effectively and best of all, work on spreadsheets more effectively
Combined, the precise, near-faithful colour accuracy, its ability to reduce blue light emissions and its expansive width makes it great for content creators. The sheer size and low blue light emissions from the MSI MPG 491CQP also makes it ideal for power users too who can scan and work multiple documents simultaneously and even work on massive spreadsheets without having to scroll around back and forth, making it a productivity level up like no other.
MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED – Smooth refresh rate and game-winning MSI Gaming Intelligence app
Where the MSI MPG 491CQ ultra wide curved display shines is its ability to offer an immersive gaming experience while even giving your games a decisive edge.
On top of the wide curved expansive of its 49-inch QD-OLED display, MSI’s greatest gaming display also has a silky smooth 144Hz refresh rate paired with Adaptive Sync to ensure tear-free animations onscreen even during intensive gaming action in first person shooters, sports and racing games. Better yet, the display also offers a 0.03ms gray-to-gray (gtg) response time, ensuring that every action onscreen occurs with pinpoint precision which is critical in fighting and real time strategy games.
Another novel feature of the MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED is the ability to project a zoomed in part of the display for shooters, enabling users with basic weapons to shoot targets from a distance much like a rifle with a scope.
As a testament to its capabilities, the MSI MPG 491CQP also has a vaunted VESA Certified ClearMR 8000 Certification for display motion performance, attesting to its ability to pass strict quality control tests to achieve a specific standard of blur performance based on the ratio of clear versus blurry pixels as a percentage onscreen.
The MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED has the ability to virtually project crosshairs onto the display regardless of game for accurate aiming especially in shooters.
To offer a special advantage, the MSI MPG 491CQP also has the MSI Gaming Intelligence App that not only lets you modify screen settings using your mouse and keyboard but also has a Smart Crosshair and Optix Scope feature, allowing users to project a virtual crosshair and a zoomed in view, allowing for even basic weapons with iron sights in first person shooters to be fired with a measure of accuracy.
The MSI Gaming Intelligence app even tackles the pet peeve of many modern games , having opponents hiding around in overly dark areas waiting to ambush you with AI Vision Technology, a built-in feature that automatically improves brightness and saturation so enemies can be more clearly seen.
