MSI - MAG 341CQP QD-OLED

The 341CQP is decent. The reality is basically every OLED is excellent, and the difference between the MSI model with a particular spec and another is what the plastic around it looks like because they're exactly the same monitors inside. Its using a first gen QD-OLED desktop panel, which means the text & desktop rendering will be a little fuzzy due to a peculiar subpixel layout, and blacks look kind of purple in ambient light (an issue all QD-OLEDs have, but was especially pronounced on the first gen models). But otherwise, it'll be an amazing gaming and movie watching monitor, especially in a dim or dark room. I noticed that link has you searching for the 341CQP**X**, which is the 240hz version of that monitor. It's a little curious that Amazon France doesn't have it, but that's fine, it's more like 800 euros at the moment.

I have the MSI one and their OLED care features are great. Build quality is great, software is easy to use and update. Had to use their RMA for something related to the power and they sent a new monitor in a week, no questions asked. My only problem with it is that there's no option to see total use hours.

MSI MAG 341CQP Bought it a few months back, and it's just great. Saw a few people online complain about the text clarity, but I haven't noticed a single thing. It is OLED though, which maybe isn't the best suited for work PCs

It is. But as I said, I don’t see an issue at all

Nope, get a MSI MAG 341cqp qd-oled panel ultra wide instead

I got a few months old 2nd handed MSI mag 341cqpx QD oled for 521 pounds(new one 600-700), that one I mentioned without an "x" MSI mag 341cqp QD oled even cheaper, so the market in Norway is very bad though.

I literally just received my MSI 341CQP the other day, and it's gorgeous. Amazing colors, text is clear and perfectly readable to me, HDR is amazing in various games that have it. HUGE upgrade over my Samsung G5 I had. Highly recommend.

To clarify I have the 175Hz non “X” model, the 341CQP! I’ll double check this for you after work, but I’ve not really used the free sync that the monitor comes with, I’ve been perfectly fine without it. I’ll let you know after work!

So I just checked, seems HDR stays on with the Freesync turned on! 175Hz still. All is good! And yes I believe they’re the same panel.

I went with an MSI 341CQP, it's 34" Ultrawide 1440p and it has been absolutely amazing... Perfect size for my setup, loads of space. Very immersive experience in many games now, it's fantastic. I like the 175Hz refresh rate, that's one thing you're trading off and essentially "not using" with 4K monitors, not much can run at the refresh rate of your monitor in 4K. For me? The perfect middle ground is 2K, it's clearer and more defined, higher quality than 1080p, but still able to run high FPS to match my monitor's 175Hz to make it buttery smooth, AND look fantastic with the popping colors and high definition.

Ah i see, i've decided to up my budget and im getting the MSI MAG 341cqp instead

this is actually the monitor i have decided to get! I decided to up my budget to get a nicer monitor

MSi mag341cqp - 650. You really shouldn’t spend a lot for a 34” qd-oled.

Go for the MSi 341cqp. It uses dp 1.4a and hdmi 2.1 which is better compared to dwf dp 1.4 and hdmi 2.0. The MSi also has usb c so you can easily connect a laptop to it. I got the dwf and have no complaints but … I would choose the MSi now with what I know and need compared to when I got the dwf.

Aw3423dwf is a fine option but there are some better options. -dwf has hdmi 2.0 and dp 1.4. 341cqp - same panel as dwf but it has hdmi 2.1 and dp 1.4a and usb c dp alt support. 341cqpx - updated version so 240hz and usb c has enough power to charge a laptop and connect to monitor -one cable for both charging and connecting.

… it’s not the best ultrawide, it’s the best ultrawide for your use case. Dell 40” 5k2k ips - best work ultrawide. You really can’t get better at this time. 34” oled - 165/175hz to 240hz, many solid options here from lg, Samsung, MSi, Dell, asus….currently, I think the 341cqp and 341cqpx are the best of this category. 49” oled - 144hz to 240hz, same as the above. MSi has the 491cqp and 491cqpx which I am interested in. The new lg 45” 5k2k oled … it’s nice but I’m really waiting for a 40” 5k2k oled. I think that size to resolution would be amazing.

No… just no. 1k for a 3440x1440 is not worth the it. Go for a cheaper 34” such as 341cqpx or go for a 491cqpx which is better and similar price.

Not sure if you've made any decisions yet, but anyway, I've used this monitor (MAG341CQP) for the past 10 months for gaming (CS2 and indie games mostly) and I'm a full time software engineer so I spend all day writing in a text editor. This is my WFH monitor fyi. Text quality looks basically the same as my 27inch 1440p IPS monitor (Acer Nitro KGB271U bmiipx), and it's a significant step up from the 1080p 240hz 24inch monitor I used in the past (Zowie XL 2546), but it's also significantly worse than my 4k 28inch that I use in the office (Nitro XV282K V3bmiiprx). Also for competitive gaming, the MAG341CQP absolutely destroys the Zowie 240hz I mentioned earlier. sure it's a slower refresh rate, but the perceived motion clarity is amazing with OLED because there is absolutely no image ghosting that I can see.

Hi, I am. Asrock Steel Legend B580 White CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3d 32GB Corsair Vengeance memory 6000 mhz? Gigabyte motherboard ( I forget the exact model but it's a mini-ITX ) 1 TB Western Digital SSD 4 TB Crucial SSD Setup is connected to a 32" MSI MAG341 OLED widescreen curved monitor The monitor and GPU was planned, CPU was not. Random luck getting both at end of 2024 and early 2025 Original plan was the Intel Arc B580 and was going to use an extra AMD 5700X for CPU I had lying around. Ordered B580 via New Egg and got it in late December 2024. This all white build for my bedroom so I wanted to go SFF. I need a mini-ITX motherboard but none were in stock at the time. Got random alert about Amazon having 9800X3d in stock early Jan 2025, I figured I'd try but assumed it would just be out of stock and the order ended up going through and I got the CPU at MRSP mid Jan. As for the games I play, a bit of everything Main games FFXIV - max settings and I get 70-100 FPS depending on area and amount of stuff going on Overwatch: max settings I can get 160-200 FPS FF 7 Remake/Rebirth - mid settings I can get low 50's to 60's Cyberpunk 2077 high settings with RT low and I get 60-70ish FPS Black Myth Wukong is rough though. low settings with upscaling and I get high 40's to low 50's FPS Now I know I am leaving performance on the table with the GPU + CPU pairing I am running and some people heads are exploding, I don't care. Tried of NGreedia and AMD dominating the GPU market, We need competition and a 3rd option for a healthy GPU gaming market overall.

I exchanged my Samsung 34“ to an OLED 34“ MSI with 175hz - at least for me I like this panel size most. Any bigger would be too much for me.

I upgraded recently from 1440/144 27” IPS to ultra wide qd-oled 1440/175 34”. Was originally thinking 16:9 and skeptical of ultrawide, but there was a local MSI ultrawide for a good price. Definitely very happy with the purchase and can’t see myself wanting anything different for a long time. The ultrawide has been very impressive for immersion, qd-oled is stunning, and doesn’t feel excessively wide at all in games, and is also great for movies. 4 or 5 months in and I’m still impressed every time I boot something up. Comes down to personal preference probably, though probably hard to test out for long enough to get a feel for it unless you have friends with both options. Also need to make sure you have the hardware to support 35% extra pixels, but I wouldn’t change anything about my setup

You can get a certified refurb on ebay for around 500$ I bought a 34in MAG with tax was 492$ Ended up returning because waiting for new gen displays but the MSI MAG was amazing for the 3 weeks I used it.

I got the MSI MAG34(something something) in around 2020 as a good budget option and it's still going strong, not had any issues at all.

I know, right? I hate when they start making Matt OLEDs for no reason. And I doubt the 34 going to be glassy. However, we will have to wait for other makers to surprise us, which is also doubt it too lol. I'm also the same as you. i have the MSI 34 OLED glassy, and it's amazing. But I can't find any better with more PPIs.

Yes, I have an AW 34" QD-OLED at home and the MSI 34" QD-OLED at work. Same panel inside both. I do both video editing and game development (coding). I used Cleartype and picked the best option and haven't had any issues with eye fatigue or reading text. I have a monitor arm for each so they're the perfect comfy distance from my face, and use dark themes and low lighting to keep the contrast in the room reasonable. I do have a side 4:3 monitor for additional code or reference web pages, especially for game dev where I may have 2-3 editor windows up in addition to the C++ code. Three years in, would not switch to anything else (I've tried a few times just out of curiosity). Maybe in 6-7 years when the next OLED tech comes out.

I had triples and went to a 49 and love it for many reasons. Less cables. Less pixels to render improve performance. Takes less space than triples. Easier to get in and out as well. Easy in-game setup. Only downside is losing the windscreen and side widows feel. Mine is the msi oled 1800r 1440 version. I think samsung has a 1000r which would give more of the side window feel. My system is a 7700x with a 6900xt.

Looks nice, I also have an MSI monitor but a curved 34UW. Works and looks great!

3440x1440 is something else been using my new msi one for 6 months now and it’s amazing. Got it for about 400$ but I am temped to get a OLED one at some point.
