Best OLED screen I’ve experienced hands down! No flickering, beautiful contrast levels, inky blacks — it has everything and 32” is a sweet spot for movies / games on a desktop setup.

Quick Background, I came from a 27' 2k, 165hz, IPS panel that has been nothing short of excellent the last 3 years. But after upgrading from a 1080ti to a 4090 I knew I wanted to upgrade my monitor as well.
The only thing on my wishlist was an OLED Panel for the Colors, Blacks, and response time. But when I heard about this monitor being 4k, and 240hz I was beyond excited. This would be a complete upgrade in all aspects Panel Type, Resolution, and Refresh Rate. And at this price its almost a no-brainer. Below I've listed some quick pro's and con's so far.
Pros-
-Large singular footprint with the stand, this is more of a personal preference but I hate monitors with the massive legs.
-Incredible Colors and deep inky blacks. This is my first OLED so I know it's nothing new but it is crazy when compared to my IPS panel.
-HDMI Source Auto Switcher is a nice feature to have, when I boot up my PS5 having it auto-switch inputs saves menu time.
-I've heard OLED's have issues with text clarity but to my untrained eye, there is no difference in text between this and my IPS monitor.
-Variable Refresh rate is nice to combat dips in FPS when gaming.
-New to me, but there are tons of different options when it comes to OLED care in the menus to help prevent burn-in.
Cons-
I wish it would come with a DP cable in the box along with the HDMI cable.
-This one is kind of both a pro and con but its incredibly thin panel design always gives me pause when adjusting the monitor as I don't want it to bend.

This monitor is pretty much perfect. The colors are so vibrant due to the OD Oled panel and 240hz makes it great for every genre of game. The display is glossy which is really nice when most other monitors use the matte finish (I dislike matte due to it dulling the colors). The box opens up like a pizza box so you wont have to deal with sliding the monitor out of the box and risk damaging it. The best monitor review site rated this the best 4k gaming monitor after all their tests and i totally agree with them. This monitor is PERFECT!!!

I upgraded from a 1440p 144hz monitor to this 4k 240hz monitor and the difference is huge! The colors are incredibly vibrant, 4k is crystal clear and the 240 fps you get makes all video games just look extremely smooth. I would recommend to anyone and for any type of game. Very satisfied with purchase

The MSI MPG321URX is an outstanding piece of technology that stands out in the crowded market of gaming displays. Its OLED panel delivers exceptionally vivid colors and truly deep blacks, providing an unparalleled visual experience that is as close to lifelike as you can get. The brightness and contrast levels are stellar, ensuring that every detail, no matter how minute, is crystal clear and vibrant, whether you're navigating through dark, intricate gaming environments or enjoying brightly lit scenes.
With a blazing fast 240Hz refresh rate and a nearly instantaneous 0.03ms response time, this monitor guarantees super-smooth gameplay without any motion blur or lag, making it a top choice for competitive gamers. The support for HDR400 enhances the display's dynamic range, highlighting fine details in both dark and bright areas. All this while being $300-$500 less than its competitors make the MSI MPG321URX a must-have for anyone looking to seriously elevate their gaming setup.

Having owned a competing 4k 240hz QD-OLED that released earlier this year I can tell you that the MSI 321URX is superior and not just from a price prospective.
Pros:
- Protective plastic peel, not a scratch in sight
- Flat screen, your milage may vary on this
- Very responsive OSD
- Virtually no input delay
- No OSD issues like not being able to change color presets in HDR on competing monitors
- Same beautiful panel the competition has
- 90W high power delivery so you can charge your phone or laptop
- Gorgeous color volume and inky blacks
- Doesn't look overly gamer
- Minimal ABL out of the box so you won't see screen brightness fluctuating all the time.
- OLED Care 2.0 is legit and works
Cons:
- The length of the power cable, too short.
- Cable management on the monitor chassis could be a bit better
I have owned numerous OLEDs all the way back to the LG EC9300 and the MSI 321URX is undoubtedly the best display I have ever used thus far. Works great for consoles, and my 4090 PC. Also, you can update firmware on this display, I just updated my firmware today.

This monitor is truly mind blowing. It has got to be the biggest upgrade I've made to my setup in a while. The difference between IPS and OLED is night and day, it's like putting on a brand new pair of prescription glasses. The colors are so incredibly vibrant and vivid and the sharpness and clarity is unmatched. I definitely feel like smoothness of gameplay provided by the 240hz refresh rate gives me an edge when playing shooters and makes worlds come to life in other games. If you're at all hesitating about getting this monitor don't, you won't regret it.

I've had this monitor for over a week now and so far I have loved every second. I previoulsy used a 27" 1440p IPS from 2019 so this was a huge upgrade for me. I primarily use this monitor for single player games and some regular everyday use as I am currently in school. The text clarity is great at 4k and feels almost the same as the IPS to me. Brightness in SDR is more than enough and in HDR this monitor is just incredible! I would say that really is the big standout feature here. I have never experienced true HDR and this monitor checks every box from contrast, brightness, glossy coating, and of course the per pixel local dimming, It's making me seriously consider switching to windows 11 to take advantage of the Auto HDR and RTX HDR features for non HDR games like for emulating. This monitor is also thin, light, and silent. I didn't even have to adjust my monitor arm when I switched it out from my 27 inch. Overall this monitor is great and I would highly recommend it.

this is probably the best price for performance 32IN 4k OLED on the market. the colors are extremely vibrant, the refresh rate is high, and the OLED care features are great, just make sure you update the firmware when you receive this since it has old firmware OOTB. Also has a super useful KVM feature if you use multiple devices on one screen
ONLY downside is that it doesnt have displayport 2.1 but thats not an issue unless you have a 50 series card

I have a PS5 Pro and a Mac mini m4 pro via usb-c cable. Just Wow. I did have a 49” Dell U4919DW with the PS5 and then would hook up my macbook pro. That was excellent to use for my computer use and ok for gaming. Screen just didnt pop for gaming and sretched out the picture to get full screen. It looked ok. But just wasnt amazing. I downsized in size with my new monitor. But it is perfect. Colors, brightness, sharpness, speed. I love it. Also cheaper than the big name gaming brands. I am not a full on monitor nerd. So it has everything I want and need for a gaming and a computer monitor.

Firmware update capability is listed directly on the product page.
"MPG 321URX QD-OLED can update the firmware through a USB connector, which is simple and easy to use. This allows users to update the firmware on their own at any time when the latest version is released by MSI. This ensures that the screen is always in the best-optimized state." If this is mis-stated by them it needs to be corrected, but as it stands this is the statement from their own site in the gaming intelligence section.

My first ever OLED monitor, love the true black and HDR so much. I have only had "fake" HDR400 monitor before so it's nice to finally see what true HDR looks like.
240hz refresh rate is also very very smooth, you can still feel the difference compared to a 144hz refresh monitor.
Among other products which have the same panel from other companies, this monitor is $350 cheaper here in US while offering almost the same feature set, this is no question the best value 4K 240hz QD-OLED monitor to buy in the US.
Strengths:
- 4K QD-OLED
- 240hz refresh rate
- Easy to use OSD and supports firmware upgrade for QoL improvements
The only weakness I find is the quality of the stand can be better with such a premium product, but since this is $350 cheaper compared to other products with the same panel, cannot deduct any points for it.

Best value for 32 4K 240hz OLED monitors releasing this year.
No other brand can compete and it does practically everything the rest do.
Colors are perfect, HDR is amazing on windows, and the refresh rate is un matched.
Perfect to pair with a 4090 rig.

This monitor has close to everything I want out of a monitor, blacks look fantastic on its OLED panel and it's high refresh rate is great for gaming, even if it's unlikely you can max it out given the 4K resolution. The extra features like USB-C PD and the KVM also make this monitor great as a dock for laptops as well since you can get video, power, and USB connections from the single port
That said, the firmware is still a little buggy, with color profiles not being saved separately for SDR and HDR modes, meaning that if you for example use sRGB in SDR that gets carried over to HDR which dramatically reduces its color space, neutering a lot of its benefits. That said the firmware on this monitor is able to be updated so hopefully a fix is incoming

This technology is amazing, I had a 1080p TN 540hz panel from Asus. I know TN is the opposite of OLED but this is crazy, I dont miss 540hz at all, the response times makes this monitor so smooth, 4K at 240hz with those colors is amazing, I just look for any excuses to keep browsing, gaming or watching content in this monitor 1000% worth it.

This monitor is the least expensive and best value of all the 4K OLED monitors released this year. It has all the features of the other brands at a lower price. Power comes from a cable rather than some of the other brands which come with a bulky power brick instead which is a huge plus for cable management. One of the downsides of this monitor is that it only came with an HDMI cable and no Displayport cable which it should've included on such an expensive display but the HDMI cable works fine. The included stand is also nice because of its square shaped design keeps it sturdy unlike other brands that use leg stands that take up much more space. Overall, great monitor especially when considering the price of the competition.

Received this monitor today. Fantastic colors and HDR performance, paired with the 240Hz refresh rate, this monitor really is the best all-around! There is a slight issue with SDR/HDR switching, but since this model supports firmware updates, I expect it to be fixed soon. Highly recommend!

I've been waiting for a 32" 4K OLED monitor which I can use for both work and gaming for a long time. It checks all boxes for me:
- QD-OLED display provides inky blacks and vibrant colors. You can choose from wider gamut for gaming or pre-calibrated sRGB for work
- Monitor is much brighter than previous generation 27/34" oled monitors
- High refresh rate 240Hz provides smoothness and immediate response time in games
- High ppi (140) is good for MacOS and Windows productive tasks.
- Color fringing is not noticeable at all. So text is nice and clear thanks to this and high PPI
- Built in KVM with an auto switch when the video source is changed. This is the best implementation among all available OLED monitors right now. You have to manually switch KVM input in Asus for example.
- USB-C video input with 90w power delivery is great for work laptops
- Advanced OLED care options with taskbar and window borders detection eases worries about burn-in while working.
P.S. MPG 321 URX DOES support firmware updates and one was published today (2/27/24)
Best of the bunch in the crowded 32in OLED monitor

One of the best QD-Oled monitor on the market.
I researched all the available 32in OLED monitor, and even tried the samsung G80SD version which shares the same panel as the MSI. I ended up returning the Samsung and getting MSI. While the Samsung does have speakers which I which the MSI had, the color calibration on the Samsung is terrible! I didn't mind it for gaming, but when i look at my photos everything is super oversaturated, especially the reds. In sRGB mode the colors are overly clamped and look dull and lifeless.
MSI 321URX on the other hand has excellent colors out of the box, flawless in both HDR and SDR mode. I could not be happier with the way images look on this.
Build quality is great, I can feel a nice sturdy backing for the panel, which is essential for the fragile OLEDs.
The stand is serviceable, it looks pretty basic and non-descript. It does have nice smooth adjustments, although it can only tilt side to side by maybe 25 degrees. I plan to put it on a monitor arm so the stand is just a nice bonus.
Bottom line is, of the available 32in OLEDs, if you want great color accuracy, 90w USBC for display and power delivery, plus constant firmware updates, MSI is the best of the bunch. Get it!

As title says, the picture quality is great. There are some tradeoffs tho:
Brightness:
The big concern for these OLED monitors (Samsung, LG, etc etc) is that they aren’t bright enough for a bright room. I’d say that this is a bit of a lie to be honest. I have massive sunny windows flooding my room with sunlight, and this monitor still gets bright enough to be readable in those conditions. However, it doesn’t look nearly as pretty as if it were in a dimmer setting. To be honest, it doesn’t look like an OLED at all in a super bright room, because when the brightness isn’t all that high, contrast is perceived to be lower by the human eye. However, when in a dimmer setting where it’s brightness can shoot up higher than ambient lights, this thing can look gorgeous. If you’re only using this with a lot of bright ambient light, I’d recommend getting a mini-led or even a high-contrast VA or IPS. However, if you’re like me and have a mix, sometimes using it in a bright room, but also using it in a dim room, as the sun sets and eventually turns to night, then I’d say the beautiful picture you see by the end of the day can make this thing absolutely worth the tradeoff in brightness.
MacOS:
With my Mac mini, this monitor will occasionally turn off, even while I’m using it at my computer. It’s extremely distracting and annoying. The monitor will also make a random clicking sound, as if it’s turning itself on and off again over and over, while my computer is asleep. I’m also unable to update the firmware or adjust some crucial internal settings because MSI’s monitor control app is only available on PC. It’s a bummer this thing doesn’t have more support for Mac users, because as you’ll see below, it can be calibrated nicely and is decent for the creative content Mac users often find themselves working on.
Calibration:
If you’re trying to calibrate it with a third party software calibrator like calibrite, then color can get quite accurate. Nearly 100% sRGB color, and a good amount of P3. There are also factory calibrated modes that work quite well. However, shadow detail is unreliable. When aiming for Adobe sRGB gamma, the monitor lifts shadows too high, 2.2 even more so, and BT1886 crushes detail completely. There is a middle ground of calibration that this monitor is not capable of, and I believe that’s due to the unique gamma curve of its internally calibrated hardware.
