MSI Malaysia has launched a new series of QD-OLED gaming monitors to provide gamers with even better visual elements and quality than before through the latest display tech.
The models they have launched today come with both curved and flat form factors with the former focusing on ultra-wide resolution while the latter goes for the conventional “square” look so from that aspect alone, there are several choices for gamers to consider and pick up one for themselves.
You can first scan through the basic specs first with this table.
Model | Size | Resolution | Refresh Rate | Response Time |
MPG 491CQP QD-OLED | 49-inch with 1800R Curvature | 5120×1440 | 144Hz | 0.03ms |
MAG 341CQP QD-OLED | 34-inch with 1800R Curvature | 3440×1440 | 175Hz | |
MAG 321UPX QD-OLED | 32-inch | 3840×2160 | 240Hz | |
MAG 271QPX QD-OLED | 27-inch | 2560×1440 | 360Hz |
As for the similarities, it comes in other design choices and features support such as HDMI 2.1 input, 120Hz with Variable Refresh Rate and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) for console gamers alongside things like AI Vision, Optix Scope, and Smart Crosshair that really gives you that advantage in your games (Is it fair? I digress).
Otherwise, the Smart Brightness will make sure your eyes only receive optimal and comforting levels of panel backlight while the USB-C port enables both DP Alt mode for display signal and Power Delivery for charging along the way.
And before you ask, all the relevant OLED certifications are here including VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400, Clear MR8000, and such.
Also, let’s not forget the latest MSI OLED Care 2.0 protection suite that aims to reduce the effects of OLED burn-in to a near minimum making the issue irrelevant even with extensive and prolonged use of the monitor.
First, a “no nonsense” 3-year OLED burn-in warranty for any QD-OLED models off the bat. Then, by building off the foundation of version 1.0 which already includes Pixel Shift, Panel Protect, and Static Screen Detection, they have added Boundary Detection, Task Bar Detection, and Multi-Logo to catch up with even more potential elements that might wreck your precious premium screen.
But there’s a little catch to certain models capable of doing specific things under specific conditions which we have right here for you.
| Model | Boundary Detection | Task Bar Detection | Multi-Logo |
MPG 491CQP QD-OLED | Yes (With Additional Pixel Shift) | Yes (Under Non-VRR Condition) | |
MAG 341CQP QD-OLED | |||
MAG 321UPX QD-OLED | Yes | ||
MAG 271QPX QD-OLED | |||
