Display with an IPS panel
The screen with IPS technology delivers consistent colours and wide 178° viewing angles both horizontally and vertically. A matte anti-reflective surface effectively dampens reflections from ambient light, making it easier to work in well-lit rooms. Colour reproduction reaches 121% coverage of the sRGB spectrum and 86% coverage of Adobe RGB, with the panel faithfully displaying 16.7 million colours at 8-bit depth (6-bit + FRC).
Smooth imagery
A high 144Hz refresh rate combined with 1ms MPRT and 4ms GtG response times reduces motion blur during fast movements. Smooth visuals without tearing are ensured by Adaptive-Sync technology with an active range of 48 to 144Hz, which synchronises the monitor with the graphics card. The brightness reaches 300 cd/m² and the static contrast ratio is 1 500:1.
Eye protection with EyesErgo
MSI EyesErgo technology protects user eyesight during long-term use. The system includes certified Flicker-free features that eliminate backlight flickering using direct current, alongside a blue light filter to reduce eye fatigue. The integrated Eye-Q Check test helps users monitor their vision using astigmatism tests or Amsler grids and reminds them to take regular breaks.
Ergonomics and positioning
The stand design allows smooth screen tilting from -5° to 20° to achieve the optimal viewing angle while working. The sturdy base ensures stability on the desk and contains a practical slot for storing small accessories such as cables, adapters, or a mobile phone, helping to keep the workspace tidy.
VESA mounting and space saving
The back of the monitor features standard 100×100mm VESA mounting, allowing easy installation on a wall or adjustable arm. This system is fully compatible with Cubi series mini PCs, which can be mounted directly onto the back of the monitor, creating a compact setup and freeing up desk space.
MSI Power Link function
MSI Power Link technology combined with HDMI CEC interface brings convenient power control for compatible desktop computers. This feature lets you turn on a connected mini PC by pressing the main power button directly on the monitor body, simplifying daily operation and saving time when starting the entire system.
Integrated sound system
The monitor body integrates two speakers, each offering 2W power output. The total 4W audio output provides sufficient sound for watching videos, online meetings, or presentations without needing to connect external audio devices to the computer. A headphone output is available for private listening.
Software update
The monitor lets you perform firmware updates directly through the DisplayPort interface. This simple process ensures ongoing compatibility with hardware and optimises display functions as soon as a new version of the manufacturer's software is released. Users can handle the update themselves without additional tools.
Display Kit application
MSI Display Kit software offers a user-friendly interface to manage screen settings directly in the operating system. The program lets you quickly change individual colour modes, organise window layouts on the desktop, or set parameters for comfortable text reading, increasing overall multitasking efficiency.
Energy efficiency
The device meets strict environmental standards and has received Energy Star certification. Power consumption in standard SDR mode is 18kWh per 1000 hours of operation, placing the monitor in energy class E. In HDR mode, consumption rises to 25kWh per 1000 hours, which corresponds to class G. In standby mode, consumption drops to just 0.5W, helping to reduce electricity costs during inactivity.
Construction and design
The design with ultra-thin bezels on four sides achieves a high screen-to-body ratio of 92% and has slimmed down by 37.5%. The black colour scheme with subtle engraving on the back cover creates an elegant impression. The weight of the entire device with the stand is 3.1kg, with an overall width of 540.13mm and a height of 408.72mm.
Connectivity options
The MSI PRO MP242 E14A monitor offers a range of connectors for connecting PCs, laptops and other compatible devices. DisplayPort 1.2a, HDMI 2.0 and VGA video inputs are available, letting you connect the monitor to older devices too. There is also a separate audio input and output for connecting headphones. A power cable and HDMI cable are included in the box, so you can plug the monitor in straight after unpacking.

Colour coverage (gamut)
Determines how accurately the monitor can display colours. sRGB is ideal for web, films or games. DCI-P3/Adobe RGB will be appreciated by graphic designers or professionals at work. The higher the value, the better the monitor displays colours.
Maximum brightness
The value given in nits or cd/m² determines the brightness level of the monitor. Brightness above 400 nits is key for HDR content and readability in sunlight, while values above 250 are sufficient for standard office monitors.
Refresh rate and response time
The refresh rate (Hz) determines the number of frames displayed per second, so the higher the value, the smoother the image and the less eye fatigue. A lower response time (ms) value eliminates motion blur. 144Hz+ is ideal for gaming, while values around 75Hz are suitable for office monitors.Specifications
