Know before you buy
Yes, the USB-C port supports 65W Power Delivery, which is sufficient to charge most modern ultrabooks and laptops while simultaneously transmitting video signals.
The integrated KVM switch allows you to control two different devices, such as a desktop and a laptop, using a single keyboard and mouse connected to the monitor's USB hub.
No, the included stand does not offer height, tilt, or swivel adjustments. You may want to consider using a VESA-compatible monitor arm if you need to customize your viewing angle or height.
Yes, the monitor includes Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-by-Picture (PBP) modes, allowing you to view content from two different input sources simultaneously on the ultrawide display.
With a 155Hz refresh rate and a 1ms MPRT response time, it is well-suited for fast-paced gaming. However, keep in mind that the 40-inch ultrawide format is generally better for immersive, cinematic experiences than for professional-level esports where a smaller screen might be preferred.
No, the MSI MAG401QR does not feature integrated speakers. You will need to connect external speakers or headphones to your computer or the monitor's audio output jack.
