MSI - MAG 341CQP QD-OLED

Everybody just says aw3423dwf without thinking. The lg is only better if your using it in a really bright room. But I'd look at what the cheapest qd pled 34 inch is in your country. For me it was the msi 341cqp which is actually better than the aw3423dwf in a couple ways

Yeah. It's got better oled care features and is 175hz.

For me the msi was £650 and the samsung was 1k so no reason to go for it

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.

Just bought the MSI 341CQP yesterday. As it is my first OLED I am impressed anyway, but as I have heard and read so far, it is mentioned as a valid successor to the Alienware DWF.

- it's newer (released Jan 2024) - with OLED Care 2.0 it has some more features to mitigate the risk of burn in - 3 year warranty, which includes burn in (if you follow the rules) - no fan, but an additional thermal layer to transport the heat outside - image quality wise they are basically the same - HDMI 2.1 - USB C Display port alt mode

I have the MAG 341CQP and I love it! Also, it has hdmi 2.1 instead of 2.0 like the AW DWF

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 know it's still expensive but I just ordered a MSI 341CQP OLED ultrawide for $663 from Newegg out the door, after taxes and 10% off.

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.

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.

I have the 341cqp and I only have positive things to say, hopefully same for this one.

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 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.

I’m on a MSI 34C2 QD-OLED (1440p) and was flabbergasted when I switched from an Alienware IPS panel. It’s beautiful, especially with all these small light sources everywhere in the hangar and cockpits. I do recommend to go for a 4K version for even more awesomeness.

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.

Same. It’s such an amazing monitor for the price. I returned a curved 4K gigabyte monitor for the 34” msi 1440p ultrawide and am so glad I did.

I have 3 34” MSI ultrawide monitors. They have been absolutely fantastic. I use them some for gaming but mostly for work. My monitors have run solid for over 3 years now and still look great. MSI monitors are worth it imo.
