Built for Competitive Play
Rapid IPS Panel
The Rapid IPS panel combines IPS colour and 178° viewing angles with speed close to TN panels, so the picture stays clear and consistent from any seat.
200Hz Refresh Rate
The screen redraws 200 times a second, so aiming and tracking in fast shooters feel smoother than on a 144Hz or 165Hz monitor.
0.5ms Response Time
A 0.5ms (GtG, min.) response time cuts ghosting and motion blur in fast scenes, which helps you spot movement sooner.
AMD FreeSync Premium
Adaptive sync from 48 to 200Hz matches the screen to your graphics card’s frame rate, removing tearing and stutter.
Rich, Accurate Colour
With 100% sRGB coverage and 1.07 billion colours (8-bit + FRC), games and videos look vivid without needing a calibration.
AI Vision and Console Mode
AI Vision brightens dark areas and lifts colour saturation, while MSI Console Mode is tuned for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Choosing Your Gaming Monitor
Why 24.5-Inch?
At 24.5" you can see the whole screen, including the minimap and HUD, without moving your eyes far. Full HD at this size gives about 90 pixels per inch, so the picture stays crisp.
Getting the Most From 200Hz
To see 200 frames per second you need a graphics card that can reach them. Esports games such as Valorant, CS2 and Fortnite on competitive settings get there on most current mid-range cards.
Console Gaming
Connect a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S to either HDMI port. Consoles run up to 120Hz at 1080p, so you get smooth, tear-free console play with room to spare for a gaming PC on the second input.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the MSI MAG 255F E20 work with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S?
Yes. Connect the console to either HDMI 2.0b port. MSI Console Mode is designed for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and consoles run at up to 120Hz at 1080p, so the full 200Hz is for PC gaming.
Do I need a DisplayPort cable to get 200Hz?
No. Both HDMI 2.0b ports and the DisplayPort 1.2a port run 1920 x 1080 at up to 200Hz. An HDMI cable is included; a DisplayPort cable is not.
Does it support FreeSync and G-SYNC?
It supports AMD FreeSync Premium from 48 to 200Hz. NVIDIA GeForce cards can usually enable adaptive sync as G-SYNC Compatible in the NVIDIA Control Panel, although MSI does not list NVIDIA certification for this model.
Can I adjust the height of the stand?
No. The stand tilts from -5° to 20° only. For height, swivel or a dual-screen setup, mount the screen on a 100 x 100 mm VESA arm or wall bracket (sold separately).
Does it need an external power brick?
No. The power supply is built into the monitor, so it plugs straight into the wall with the included C13 power cord.
What comes in the box?
You get the monitor and stand, an HDMI cable, a C13 power cord and a quick guide.
Does it have built-in speakers?
No. It has no speakers, so use the headphone-out jack or play sound through your PC, console or separate speakers.
