MSI Computer Japan will begin selling the MAG 275QF E20 gaming monitor on October 8, with an expected street price around 31,800 yen. The 27-inch display carries WQHD resolution, a 200Hz refresh rate, and a 0.5ms response time listed as a GTG minimum. MSI uses a RAPID IPS panel, which the company says drives faster than a conventional IPS panel to reduce afterimage in fast-moving video such as FPS and racing games. The monitor supports HDR, AI Vision, and G-SYNC Compatible, and it carries PIP and PBP modes so a game console feed and a PC screen can run side by side. Anti-flicker and blue light cut functions are included for long sessions, whether gaming or work. MSI announced the model on October 1 and set the October 8 sale date at the same time.
The MAG 275QF E20 will be sold through MSI Computer Japan, not a third-party importer, which puts local warranty and support behind the 31,800 yen price. MSI lists the panel as RAPID IPS, its own name for an IPS variant driven faster than a standard IPS panel, aimed at cutting afterimage in high-motion content. The spec sheet also names AI Vision, which the announcement ties to video optimization, and G-SYNC Compatible for smoother frame delivery on supported GPUs.
The PIP and PBP modes let a console and a PC share the screen at once, a feature MSI frames around running both without swapping cables. The eye-care set covers anti-flicker and blue light cut. The October 1 announcement and the October 8 release date come from the same statement, so there is no gap between the reveal and the shelf date.
