MSI - MPG321URXQDOLED 32" Quantum Dot OLED UHD 240Hz 0.03ms Gaming Monitor with HDR400 (DisplayPort, HDMI, USB) - Black

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 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 buy far the best of the currently available 32" QD-OLED monitors. Not only is it significantly more affordable but based on reviews, it performs just as well as the considerably more expensive alternatives (and isn't curved). An added bonus is it is the only one that comes with a protective plastic peel that prevents scuffs/marks during shipping. Colors, contrast and brightness are incredible in HDR. If you're coming from a standard IPS or VA LCD, the difference is transformational. Not to mention 240hz OLED motion clarity. The UI is easy to navigate and so far has been trouble free. The only negative I've discovered is that after a panel protect cycle, the monitor completely shuts off instead of going back into standby. I hope MSI addresses this in the future with a firmware update. Tip: Make sure you remove the protective plastic over the rear vents. They need to be unobstructed for cooling purposes. P.S. the picture below is of the screen itself playing content. That's how incredible it looks.

I want to start by saying that I tried three other monitors before settling on the MSI MPG-URX. The monitors I tested were the Alienware AW3225QF, Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD), and LG Ultragear 32GS95UE. In my opinion, the MSI URX is the clear winner, especially considering its price. The image quality is on par with, or even better than, the other monitors I tried. I also prefer the flat panel design over the curved ones, which I find more gimmicky. The 90W USB-C charger is a great addition, and the overall quality of the MSI monitor is impressive. In short, if you’re looking for a 32-inch OLED monitor, the MSI MPG-URX is definitely worth considering. It offers excellent picture quality, a practical design, and good value for money. I was so impressed that I ended up buying TWO of them. The only downside was the wait for a restock. I hope this review helps you with your decision. First 3 pics are with my phone, last pic is a screen capture from the monitor, not sure how that helps :P P.S. – If you’re not using the DisplayPort cable that came in the box, make sure your cable supports 4K at 240Hz.
