MSI, the world's leading manufacturer of true gaming hardware, is proudly expanding our QD-OLED gaming monitor lineup. OLED panels have become the mainstream choice for high-end gaming in recent years. To stay at the forefront of gaming monitors, we're proud to announce our new lineup of QD-OLED monitors. All models will be equipped with the latest generation of QD-OLED panels and will be available in both curved and flat models. We've done extensive research and design to ensure exceptional picture quality through precise pixel lighting control and true black scenes.

We've also upgraded MSI OLED Care 2.0, enhancing screen protection optimization to reduce the risk of OLED panel damage during extended use. The fan-less design, harnesses graphene's exceptional thermal conductivity, which allows for efficient and silent heat dispersion. This further extends the lifespan of these innovative QD-OLED panels.



A Feast for Your Eyes - MSI Unveils QD-OLED Technology
Leading the way are two outstanding curved models, the MAG 341CQP QD-OLED and the MPG 491CQP QD-OLED. Both models come standard with 0.03 ms GTG response time and 144 Hz refresh rate. The MAG 341CQP QD-OLED is equipped with a 34" UWQHD QD-OLED 1800R curved panel while the MPG 491CQP QD-OLED is equipped with a 49" DQHD QD-OLED 1800R curved panel.

Both models also feature a variety of other core elements. VESA certification for ClearMR 9000 and DisplayHDR True Black 400 ensures that gamers receive exceptionally vivid images while also mitigating the effects in motion blur visuals. OLED Care 2.0 enhances care services and significantly reduce the chances of OLED burn-in. Finally, MSI Gaming Intelligence (G.I.) powered by AI technology, enhances gaming experience and offers features like Smart Crosshair, Night Vision AI, Optix Scope, and more.

For console gamers, we offer HDMI 2.1 ports with full 48 Gbps bandwidth, support for 120 Hz, VRR, and ALLM. MSI Console mode incorporates CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), allowing users to control their devices with a single controller. We also provide Type-C functionality to enhance connectivity with mobile devices.

Both models are expected to launch on 1/6.

Introducing 4K/2K Resolution Flat QD-OLED Monitors
For flat panel models that gamers have been eagerly anticipating, we've prepared a variety of models, ranging from 27" WQHD to 32" WUHD models that have refresh rates of up to 360 Hz. Our new QD-OLED flat displays significantly enhance the visuals performance for AAA games, especially those of the FPS genre. All products come with MSI OLED Care 2.0, featuring the latest fan-less design to extend the lifespan of OLED panels. These models also come with a variety of features such as MSI Gaming Intelligence, 90 W Type-C PD connectivity, and MSI Console Mode.

  • MPG 321URX QD-OLED, UHD 4K, 240 Hz, 0.03 ms GTG
  • MAG 321UPX QD-OLED, UHD 4K, 240 Hz, 0.03 ms GTG
  • MPG 271QRX QD-OLED, WQHD 2K, 360 Hz, 0.03 ms GTG
  • MAG 271QPX QD-OLED, WQHD 2K, 360 Hz, 0.03 ms GTG

These monitors are at the forefront of gaming technology, providing an unprecedented and immersive gaming experience. They represent MSI's commitment to excellence and innovation, offering gamers an unparalleled experience.

We will unveil more details at CES 2024, please look forward to it.

No 144 hz support I see. Not that it is a big deal. I did not see mention on DP so that could be the reason.

Article states 144Hz rate in the third paragraph: "Leading the way are two outstanding curved models, the MAG 341CQP QD-OLED and the MPG 491CQP QD-OLED. Both models come standard with 0.03 ms GTG response time and 144 Hz refresh rate."

The only bit of information missing for me is a VESA mount pattern as I use an equipment pole and monitor arm.

Looks like there will be more information at CES 2024 according to MSI's press room. Source

VESA certification for ClearMR 9000 is top notch, so is DisplayHDR True Black 400. 400 might not be the highest number in brightness per cd/m2 but if it helps with the screen lasting longer, given the extended colors, I'll take it.

Its finally happening - OLED monitors. Too bad the subpixel arrangement is still not ideal. I'm waiting this out a few more years it seems. Fully expecting my current panel to give the ghost in a couple of years too, this Gigabyte is definitely not Eizo quality VA.

All I want is a a monitor with a 5120x2160 resolution, 120hz refresh, and adaptive sync...is that too much to ask?
I think that bar always moves just ahead of what's available... I think what's happening in monitor land today is what we've asked for, for a looooong time.

Spot on with the bar always moving. I'm like ok, 5120x2160? What in the hell would drive that monitor more than screen shots?

Now the only thing I'm waiting on is an OLED that can clearly reproduce text similar to that of non-OLEDs. That is the last marker.

Apparently yes! Or you couldn't afford it if released.

I'm all in on the 32" 4K 120Hz+ OLED monitors if price is not insane and colour gamut is high like 99%+ AdobeRGB.

I would also love to see an UWA 34" that was 3840 x 1800, OLED/mini-LED 120Hz.

Yeah baby! In before 240/480 LG OLED's that increase refresh rate with resolution drop from 4K to 1080p.

Asus already has its own out, €1500.

I just hope that Samsung has improved its screen coating, as there are multiple nightmare stories of scratched up QD-OLED panels on r/ultrawidemasterrace.
