Head-to-head
Samsung G60SD vs MSI MAG 271QPX: Samsung reduces glare, MSI’s USB-C video does not replace a laptop charger
The short answer
G60SD suits a brighter gaming room with its glare-reducing treatment. MAG 271QPX adds USB-C video, though its 15-watt output will not charge a normal laptop.

About this comparison
Both 27-inch QHD QD-OLED monitors reach 360Hz, with different surface and connection priorities.
The practical choice turns on surface and usb-c, then on the constraints in your own setup.
Before you choose
How they fit your plans
USB-C video on MSI still leaves a laptop charger on the desk
MAG 271QPX can accept compatible USB-C video, but its 15W output is far below a laptop that expects 65W. For that laptop, plan a separate charger even though the picture arrives over USB-C. Choose MSI if that video connection is convenient and two cables are acceptable. Do not choose it expecting a full dock replacement, and verify Samsung’s separate source connections against the same laptop.
Facts behind this advice
MSI specifies DisplayPort Alt Mode and 5V at 3A. That equals 15W, leaving a 50W nameplate gap against a stated 65W requirement, without predicting real battery drain.
Neither screen supplies a whole native 4K inspection canvas
Someone editing 4K video between gaming sessions will need a reduced preview or a cropped inspection on either monitor. The shared QHD grid cannot display every pixel of the whole 4K frame at once. Choose between these for their connection and gaming requirements if that is acceptable. If full-frame pixel-level 4K checking is essential, move beyond this pair instead of choosing by the 360Hz badge.
Facts behind this advice
Both use 2560 by 1440 panels. A 3840 by 2160 source contains more samples along both axes. Refresh rate does not change that spatial limit.

One USB-C cable for video and peripherals
For usb-c, Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 27-inch Gaming Monitor records “No” and MSI MAG 27-inch 360Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor records “Video and 15 watts”. This affects connection compatibility and available data paths. A higher label does not guarantee the same real-world result in every setup.

Surface is a firm requirement
For surface, Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 27-inch Gaming Monitor records “OLED Glare Free” and MSI MAG 27-inch 360Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor records “Glossy anti-reflection”. Materials and construction can set care, compatibility and placement limits. They do not prove durability on their own.
