This monitor is amazing(except for one thing…) I am a designer(Mac) and gamer (ps5) and this monitor is amazing to work with. The quality of the monitor makes video editing and designing amazing. Having my ps5 run at 120 also looks amazing. The USB-C 90w pass through is something I needed for my setup. This monitor ticked all the boxes, until I went to update the firmware… the monitor required the Gaming Intelligence software to install the new firmware, the GI software is only available for windows machines. This was the first problem I had to try to over come, I contacted MSI support to see if there was a workaround and there answer was to ship the monitor to their service team in Sydney. There was no way I was going to ship my monitor somewhere just for a ... MoreThis monitor is amazing(except for one thing…) I am a designer(Mac) and gamer (ps5) and this monitor is amazing to work with.

I then went to install the firmware but again, another issue, it would not let me unless I had the monitor connected via DisplayPort. I tried a UCB C to DP cable but it would not work, it would only work if you had a DP to DP cable and the USB B to USB A cable connected. After a local computer store was trying to help me trouble shoot with no luck, they offered for me to bring the monitor into store. They ended up installing the new firmware for me in their store on their windows PC and at no charge, absolute legends. I feel it should. It have come to this just to do a firmware update. I understand it is a gaming monitor and therefor will most likely be used on a PC, but they also aim their advertising towards console players too. It should be easier to do something as basic as an update and be accomodating to all possible buyers.

I write this with the base line of already knowing other QD-OLED panels exist, so I'll only write the unique things about this monitor, with how big or small the positive or issue is in brackets (small, medium, big)Positives:MSI Support (BIG) - MSI seemingly have GREAT customer support, I've asked for a couple fixes prior to even getting the monitor, such as a DSC toggle. Can confirm as of FW.010 they did exactly that. Also the cleaning behavior is also fixed so it no longer stays in "off" once completed the pixel cleaning process.Minimal Lights/RGB (BIG) - Says it all really, it's very subtle, there is a small back strip which isn't bright on the top/back side of the monitor, which you can disable in the OSD very easily. Then the small white LED on the front ... MoreI write this with the base line of already knowing other QD-OLED panels exist, so I'll only write the unique things about this monitor, with how big or small the positive or issue is in brackets (small, medium, big)Positives:MSI Support (BIG) - MSI seemingly have GREAT customer support, I've asked for a couple fixes prior to even getting the monitor, such as a DSC toggle.

Then the small white LED on the front to say "hey I'm on".Excellent packaging (medium) - They provide a film on the screen as honestly all monitor makers should do, this prevents micro scratches from occurring in shipment like other makers have suffered from. The box is also pretty hefty, plenty of protection all round and the box art is very tasteful.Better OLED care features (medium) - I'd say this is more unique to MSI, although some are trying to follow suit, MSI were to the party first however with the 3 year burn-in warranty aswell. Taskbar protection, and boundary protection both work as expected, for the taskbar it seems to work better when using dark mode however.Negatives:Color Calibration (small) - Seems calibration is 99% of the way there out of the box, most definitely your regular joe wouldn't know the difference, but I'd say slightly on the warmer side which can be fixed either with a calibration tool or by following the "best settings" guide by TFTCentral. Then it basically turns to a neutral/positive.OSD time out settings (small) - Again, very small issue, I'd like if there was an option to have longer than 30 seconds, when comparing settings in a scene sometimes you need longer than this to compare, then you have to click all the way back to the menu you were in to get back to what you were looking at.Cables (medium) - I understand most should use the HDMI 2.1b as it's the higher bandwidth port on this monitor, but I have seen complaints about lack of a displayport cable included, and whilst I'm not affected, I have to agree. Also the HDMI2.1b cable included is shorter than I'd like, just about got to where it needs to be on my setup (a regular, expected positioning). You may need to purchase a longer one if your machine is a bit further away from your monitor.Overall: I'd say I'm pretty in love with this monitor, does everything I want and the experience is just amazing. I mean, it's gen 3 QD-OLED, of course it's amazing! You will most definitely not be disappointed with your purchase. Almost everything about it screams "premium", I also like the stand being a flat base rather than 2 long legs sticking across the table. 5/5, recommend highly with all things considered.

The MSI MPG 321URX is stunning. For far less than other brands, you're getting an amazing 3rd gen QD OLED panel - the complete package just makes sense for most users, be it for gamers or productivity hounds.Image quality: The picture is very crisp and saturation of the QD OLED is far better than some of the WOLED 42 inch tv panels that are out there. Coming from somebody who used an LGc2 as their main monitor, the MPG 321URX blows it out of the water in terms of PPI and saturation. Colors are more vibrant, text is crisp and clear for desktop usage (no fringing), and brightness is on point for SDR and HDR. This is awesome for work and gaming. My monitor also came perfectly color calibrated OOTB.Build quality: Super super solid - the stand is very sturdy and ... MoreThe MSI MPG 321URX is stunning.

I'm thrilled with the built in KVM, and love that this thing just functions well as a monitor compared to the 42 inch TVs out there - sleep cycles sync perfectly with your computer, and burn in protections are easy to put into place with the built in menus.Highly recommend to anybody on the fence about buying - this thing is majorly future proof and should last me at least 5 years with the next generation of GPUs around the corner.

I bought this monitor for gaming and daily desktop use when I am working from home.Tbh, I was blown away by how well this performs and how good the value is for this monitor.I was impressed with the text clarity of this 4k QD-OLED monitor when I first hook it up. The text is even clearer and crispier than my nano IPS 1440p ultrawide thanks to the new denser PPI and improved rgb subpixel layout.240 hz refresh rate is buttery smooth if you have the GPU power to drive it at 4K. With my rtx 4090, I am getting over 200 fps in warzone, the game never felt this smooth and responsive before. Not to mention the beautiful contrast and the super crispy texture quality, even on normal texture quality in game.I was on the fence between this, AW3225QF and PG32UCDM when I ... MoreI bought this monitor for gaming and daily desktop use when I am working from home.Tbh, I was blown away by how well this performs and how good the value is for this monitor.I was impressed with the text clarity of this 4k QD-OLED monitor when I first hook it up.

Not to mention the beautiful contrast and the super crispy texture quality, even on normal texture quality in game.I was on the fence between this, AW3225QF and PG32UCDM when I was trying to buy a new 4k OLED monitor. However, AW3225QF's lack of KVM was an instant No for me as I need to use this monitor with my macbook when I am working from home.Having a KVM with USB-C with DP Alt and PD 90W charging would help me get rid of the thunderbolt docking station and many cables from my desk, which I am all for it! Between PG32UCDM and this, I had to pick this for the insane value it comes with, without any performance compromise. Unless you really need the dolby vision on the other models and want to eat up the cost for DV, I don't see any other reason to go to the other options.Like I said, the value is insane, but it does have compromises. The monitor is shipped with minimal cables to get you started:- power cable- USB type B cable- HDMI 2.1For me, I would like to use DP 1.4 to have the most compatible gsync experience with my GPU, so I had to go out my way to get a high quality DP cable. And I also need to buy a high quality thunderbolt 4 USB-C cable to use this monitor with my macbook. Those cables cost me roughly ~$50.But I am still shocked why MSI didn't include all the necessory cables to let the user fully experience the greatness of this monitor out of the box. I do know this monitor is priced similar to the ASUS in EU, so, not having all cables included can really turn down non NA customers.Anyway, I still would give this monitor a 5 star rating as it delivers what I expect and I am very happy with the purchase.
This monitor is one of several 3rd gen QD-OLED displays that have hit the market in the coveted 4k 32 inch form factor. Coming from an inexpensive QHD IPS panel, the display is a joy to behold. Comparing it to my old monitor side by side, the uneven backlight bleed and greyish blacks are downright ugly. True HDR displays are something else! All of this for 250-350 dollars less than it's peers makes this an easy recommendation over the others, and I fully recommend this monitor to anyone interested in a display upgrade.Pros:- Impressive contrast ratio and color calibration. (I have been using the srgb mode in SDR and the user mode for HDR with impressive results)- Very good motion clarity due to the 240hz oled panel- color fringing mentioned by others on 1440p ... MoreThis monitor is one of several 3rd gen QD-OLED displays that have hit the market in the coveted 4k 32 inch form factor.

(I have been using the srgb mode in SDR and the user mode for HDR with impressive results)- Very good motion clarity due to the 240hz oled panel- color fringing mentioned by others on 1440p models not noticeable to me with the higher ppi on this monitor- comprehensive suite of burn in prevention tools and a 3 year burn in warranty for peace of mind- KVM and 90w PD make hooking up a laptop alongside my desktop extremely convenient- firmware update-able- competitively priced!Cons:- VRR flicker is noticeable, especially on menus when you aren't hitting a preset frame limit or able to push the full 240hz refresh rate of the monitor if you don't set a frame cap- At the time of review, the EOTF tracking on the peak 1000 HDR mode leads to mid luminance values being darker than they should, and sometimes darker than the nominally lower brightness true black 400 mode. This should be fixable with a firmware update so I this should be a temporary problem- At the time of review, the monitor doesn't remember your profiles set for HDR and SDR content separately, meaning you have to fiddle with some settings every time you switch between the 2 if you prefer an sRGB clamp for accurate SDR content. Luckily this should be fixable via firmware update, and even without that it is relatively quick to change the settings in the gaming intelligence app
I have had the MPG321URX for three weeks now, and despite my incredibly high expectations, it has met or surpassed them in nearly every way.I've owned OLED tablets and phones, but this is my first OLED monitor, so I was a bit nervous about potential problems, but so far it's been perfect.My unit arrived with 0 dead or stuck pixels.I haven't experienced any eye strain or headaches from using this monitor.The color banding OLEDs can be infamous for on dark grey images is very minimal on my unit, far less pronounced than I've seen on my tablets.Color uniformity on anything but very dark greys is extremely good.I had heard concerns about color fringing on text with this display technology, but from the distance I use this monitor, text looks extremely sharp ... MoreI have had the MPG321URX for three weeks now, and despite my incredibly high expectations, it has met or surpassed them in nearly every way.I've owned OLED tablets and phones, but this is my first OLED monitor, so I was a bit nervous about potential problems, but so far it's been perfect.My unit arrived with 0 dead or stuck pixels.I haven't experienced any eye strain or headaches from using this monitor.The color banding OLEDs can be infamous for on dark grey images is very minimal on my unit, far less pronounced than I've seen on my tablets.Color uniformity on anything but very dark greys is extremely good.I had heard concerns about color fringing on text with this display technology, but from the distance I use this monitor, text looks extremely sharp (whether it's black-on-white or white-on-black text, it looks great either way).Overall picture quality is incredible. All my games and shows look better than ever.Coming from a 144hz 4k miniLED monitor, which I already thought was pretty good, the MPG321URX is still a huge step up in motion clarity, contrast, and color accuracy, and now I never want to go back to anything less.I'm not a color expert, but out-of-the box with zero user calibration, the colors on this screen look very accurate to my eye.I prefer "Game Mode -> User" for gaming and most animated content, and "Pro Mode -> sRGB" for live-action movies and TV. Beyond that, I haven't had to tweak color settings at all.I remain a bit nervous about image retention on the monitor, but I've activated all of the "OLED Care" features, and with MSI's 3-year warranty I feel a little more at ease.Although this is a high-end and expensive product, it's very competitively priced in the US, and it delivers an unparalleled experience for an unbeatable price in its class.
I’ve been shopping the new 4k 240hz OLED panels for months and decided on the MSI, because it costs hundreds less than the competitors while having the same panel/picture quality and similar if not better features. I previously had a Samsung Odyssey G7. I was fairly happy with the G7, but with a 4090 and 7800x3d it made sense to move to 4K. The G7 was a VA panel which are known for good contrast ratio compared to IPS & TN, but compared to the MSI OLED, it looks mid. This MSI monitor is as good as it gets, and im extremely happy with it. I most likely wont be buying another monitor until this one stops working. I really like the “AI Vision” feature which just brightens dark areas for competitive FPS games, and really helps in games like Tarkov & Hunt Showdown.

I really like the “AI Vision” feature which just brightens dark areas for competitive FPS games, and really helps in games like Tarkov & Hunt Showdown. If you’re looking for a new OLED monitor, there arent likely to be many major tech advancements for several years, so now is the time. I do hope MSI fixes a few things with firmware updates. For one, I want the ability to disable DSC, so that I can use DLDSR when playing single player games. The MSI rep on reddit said that the ability to toggle off DSC would be added in a future update, so fingers crossed. Hopefully they also add an auto color mode setting when changing between SDR and HDR content, as you currently need to manually swap color modes. For SDR you likely want sRGB, while in HDR you want Adobe RGB, DCI-P3 or User Mode. It’s a slight annoyance having to remember to change it each time, but not a deal breaker and is probably something they can fix with firmware. If you haven’t tried OLED yet, I can honestly say the hype is real. I highly recommend you buy this monitor if you are on the fence. It’s met all of my expectations and then some.
I've used several monitors over the past couple years including ultrawides, gen 1 qd-oleds, lg oleds, ips, tn, va, mini-led (only va) and this is definitively the best experience so far and it's not particularly close. The text clarity improvement of gen 3 qd-oled over gen 1 qd-oled is extremely appreciated and is no longer noticeable to me compared to other display tech. While this is likely a combination of the increased ppi in addition to the substructure improvements, it is still unnoticeable to me now even in different dpi scaling modes (though I typically use native). Thus, even in productivity, this is only topped by a 4k (super)ultrawide due to raw real estate. Beyond that, as someone who has spent far too much money trying and testing different KVMs, both ... MoreI've used several monitors over the past couple years including ultrawides, gen 1 qd-oleds, lg oleds, ips, tn, va, mini-led (only va) and this is definitively the best experience so far and it's not particularly close.

While this is likely a combination of the increased ppi in addition to the substructure improvements, it is still unnoticeable to me now even in different dpi scaling modes (though I typically use native). Thus, even in productivity, this is only topped by a 4k (super)ultrawide due to raw real estate. Beyond that, as someone who has spent far too much money trying and testing different KVMs, both in monitor and external (including switches for usb/video separately), this is the *only* KVM I've used that just works. For that alone, even with the knock of potentially less real estate, I would rate this well above other solutions, particularly for work from home use while also enjoying high-end gaming.With regards to the KVM, it features PD with DP alt mode. It supports gsync (not yet officially validated by nvidia but anecdotally works fine using the pendulum demo). It registers input fast enough that you can actually see the post screen to get into bios (surprisingly uncommon). It clones edid. It doesn't semi-regularly (or at all) drop usb connections. It even switches pretty quickly compared to other solutions without blackscreen flashing. You can have it auto switch USB upstream between video sources. It provides enough stable power for comically sensitive gaming peripherals and a M1 macbook pro under medium-light load. It even supports polling rates above 1000hz without issue. This KVM alone would justify most of the cost, particularly compared to some specialty KVM solutions and works better regardless; that you get a fantastic display with it is almost just bonus.For gaming, it's the best monitor I've used. I would absolutely adore a 21:9 version of this display as I love that form factor but the clarity from oled response times is amazing and only esports displays with strobing (or crts) beat it in motion clarity (I look forward to gsync pulsar hopefully being adapted to oled with dynamic BFI). I would take this display for gaming, even sans the KVM, over other displays I've used regardless of their form factor. This monitor is also passively cooled which is a welcome change compared to many other high-end displays. Even though it's passive, I have had no issues with HDR or ABL even on desktop (in HDR). It does suffer from raised blacks compared to woled but it's no worse than a good ips in a room flooded with sunlight and is still plenty bright to see easily. If you play in a very bright area consistently, I would consider the contrast (without raised blacks) and much higher-brightness a quality mini-led display provides as a significant pro in favor of the mini-led rather than a con against the qd-oled.If I had to complain, I have two issues that spring to mind. Both are hopefully addressable via a firmware update. The first is that the display will turn off rather than return to its last power state after pixel cleaning. This is noticeable when a machine is slept or goes to a low power state while you're away. The pixel cleaning will then run and subsequently turn the display completely off so when you come back to your machine, you need to physically turn the monitor back on. This is definitely not ideal but even if this is never fixed, it's still worth the hassle (for me) for everything else this gets right. The second is that the power LED is not able to be disabled. It's not a large problem as its not particularly bright (like many can be) but I would still like to disable it, especially when engaging with dark content at night.Ultimately, it's a fantastic display for both productivity and entertainment. It has the least buggy firmware for a high-end monitor I've used and an inuitive, clean, and responsive OSD (especially compared to many other monitor manufacturers). The KVM *actually* works the way you would hope and expect. I have not experienced any bugs or issues with DSC using nvidia. This has been the monitor I've been waiting for for years and I will continue to use it until there's an ultrawide variant of it. At that point, it will become my secondary display for the forseeable future.
I recently upgraded to this 32" QD-OLED 4K/240Hz monitor on March 20th, so I’ve had pleasure of testing this for a little over a week now and it has been great! The picture quality is currently unmatched. I'm coming from a 27" NanoIPS 1440p/165Hz display then tried out 32" MiniLED 4K/240Hz and I thought that was pretty good but after going QD-OLED 4K/240Hz it’s been everything that I've asked for. I've always neglected trying out the latest and greatest when it came to display till now. I've been using the NanoIPS since it came out back in 2019?Opening the box everything was well packaged and pretty straight forward, a lot of plastic stickers that I had to remove before use but it was pretty well protected. After setting it up I went through the menus and its ... MoreI recently upgraded to this 32" QD-OLED 4K/240Hz monitor on March 20th, so I’ve had pleasure of testing this for a little over a week now and it has been great!

I've been using the NanoIPS since it came out back in 2019?Opening the box everything was well packaged and pretty straight forward, a lot of plastic stickers that I had to remove before use but it was pretty well protected. After setting it up I went through the menus and its pretty easy to navigate especially with the little knob in the middle, you can also use Gaming Intelligence (APP) and set your settings in Windows. After a few days I started tweaking all the settings to meet my preference and I don't know what to say, can’t really complain about anything.Every game I play I'm always looking for HDR setting but even without HDR, games look really nice, perfect blacks, and gets pretty bright. I know people are saying that one con is that it can’t reach higher nit levels when getting closer to 100%, maybe that can be fixed later on through firmware. The text looked clearer to me but I don’t know if that’s also going from 1440p to 4K that made the difference. Twitch icons look super clear and comparing it with my older display, you can tell I’ve been missing out on a lot of picture fidelity. When I’m not playing games I’m usually doing office type work and a lot of YouTube and Twitch.I was concerned about burn-ins but it seems with the 3rd gen they upped the durability and reliability starting with the heatsink to keep the display cool as well as the multiple detection technology like taskbar, logos, and pixel shifting backed by a 3-year warranty from MSI. If you want more you can sign up with Best Buy as they’re pretty good. I’m not too worried about the burn-ins and will use the display to the fullest, if/when I have to use the warranty in the future then so be it but for now, I want to use it to use it with no compromise.A few things why I chose this QD-OLED and not the other brands, this was cheaper in price with a good number of features like a KVM switch, its flat, and it looks minimalistic and not too flashy or bulky. It may not have Dolby Vision but I’ll save that for watching on the TV instead.Pros:+ Better Pricing compared to other QD-OLED brands.+ Simplistic design, not too overly flashy.+ Easy to navigate menus and easy to flash firmware.+ KVM Switch, if you have multiple devices you can switch through them easily.Cons:- Advertised nits seem to fall off getting close to 100%. (firmware fix?)- No Dolby Vision- Force Panel Protect after 16 hours, might be doing something important during that time. (firmware fix?)- Display turns off after Panel Protect instead of going back to Stand by (firmware fix?)Overall, the QD-OLED displays are pretty good, its just a matter of what company/features/warranty you want. I’m pretty satisfied with my purchase.
This is my first OLED monitor, though not my first OLED experience as I also have a OLED TV.Out of the box, the display was perfect. It had a plastic protective screencover that you needed to peel off. This meant there were no scratches or smudges on the screen, unlike some other brands ;)I'm using this side by side with another 32" 4K monitor (IPS display). QD-OLED has a non-standard subpixel arrangement that causes some color fringing around text. Text does look slightly fuzzier than on a regular IPS display, but given the pixel density of 4K 32", it doesn't stand out too much from a normal viewing distance.For colors, it's a wide gamut display, so colors will look over-saturated at the default color settings. But you can clamp the color space to sRGB to get ... MoreThis is my first OLED monitor, though not my first OLED experience as I also have a OLED TV.Out of the box, the display was perfect.

But you can clamp the color space to sRGB to get colors to look normal again. I personally don't mind, so I left it as is and calibrated it with my colorimeter to ensure that at least in color managed applications the colors will look right (for my photo editing).In games the 240hz refresh rate really does make competitive games very fast with basically zero input lag. Really excellent in competitive games. And in games such as Cyberpunk 2077 or Alan Wake 2, enabling HDR really looks excellent on an OLED display, with inky blacks in dark areas and per pixel illumination of brighter areas. Love the contrast and it's excellent for games.From a usability standpoint, I mounted it on one of my monitor arms, so can't speak to the stand. The buttons and joystick are easy to reach right behind the bottom of the screen in the center, and the menu is quite elaborate and allows you to adjust many different settings.I use this with both a PC and a Mac (with a docking station). I was initially connecting to the Mac using the USB Type-C input, and while the Mac would drive the display at 240hz when you only have the MSI connected, connecting additional monitors afterwards (I use 2x 4K 32" monitors) meant they wouldn't receive a signal, as the Mac I use (with the M2 Pro chip) will only drive up to 2 displays, and at 4K240hz it technically uses up all of the Mac's output capabilities (all the GPU output headers are locked by the MSI at that resolution and refresh rate). The workaround was to use a HDMI 2.0 > USB Type C adapter which would limit the bandwidth to 4K60hz, allowing me to actually use 2 displays with the Mac (for work). On the PC I have it connected with DisplayPort and that works fine driving both of my monitors at the same time at full refresh rate.One thing I'd like MSI to add in firmware is the ability to lock color settings per input. Right now it keeps the color settings across inputs, and I'd prefer to be able to set my Mac to sRGB, and my PC to full gamut without having to dive into the menu each time and change the settings.There are also lots of OLED burn-in mitigation features built into the firmware which should help with the longevity of the panel. Just remember that with OLED, it *will* burn-in eventually, the question is just how long it will take which will highly depend on your usage. Lots of varied content means the panel should last for a very long time. Mostly static content (e.g. desktop work) it won't last as long. It's using the latest 3rd gen QD-OLED panel produced by Samsung, so there's no real data yet on how durable these panels are. Hopefully it'll last me many years, but only time will tell.Overall though, an excellent monitor and compared to all other 4K 32" OLEDs released, an excellent value at its current list price (and you're not leaving anything on the table by going with the MSI). The MSI does not support Dolby Vision, but if all you're using is Windows you won't have any real benefit from Dolby Vision, and it will likely just cause strange issues.
