MSI - MPG 341CQPX QD-OLED

34” MSI MPG 341CQPX QD-OLED (240 Hz), running on a 7900 XT. In fairness I don't really race on it since I use VR, but I'll chime in anyway since I like it as a general gaming monitor. Granted, you can save some money if you don't care for the OLED blacks

I recently purchased that exact MSI model, with requirements similar to yours—looking for a good balance between productivity, media consumption, and gaming—and I wouldn’t go back for anything in the world. At work, I use a 4K monitor, and when I return home to my MSI, I notice a slight difference in text clarity during the first five minutes. However, this is a minor issue compared to the many advantages this monitor—or OLED technology in general—has to offer. Even something as simple as scrolling through web pages feels incredibly smooth. As for gaming and watching movies, I won’t even start—they’re an absolute delight. The blacks are absolutely spectacular—pure and absolute. The colors practically leap off the screen, almost as if they’re slapping you in the face. HDR content looks stunning, and the overall fluidity of usage is hard to put into words unless you’ve experienced it yourself. I would only recommend against it if your use case were *strictly* for productivity. Regarding burn-in, I can’t give you long-term feedback yet, as I’ve only had it for a short time. However, I can tell you that there are numerous features designed to minimize this risk. It’s true that the panel protection feature can be a bit annoying, as it prompts you to run it every 4 hours of usage (or every 16 hours if adjusted in the monitor settings). But it’s something you get used to if you want to enjoy the incredible quality of this display. I admit that, having recently switched to OLED technology, I’m currently being extremely cautious about avoiding static elements staying on the screen for too long. Maybe it’s just the anxiety of something new, and it will fade with time, but for now, it’s an extra consideration to keep in mind. Perhaps it’s unjustified, but psychologically, it’s definitely there. That said, this monitor does require slightly more care compared to other technologies. Even cleaning the panel demands a bit of extra attention. So, if you’re someone who doesn’t like “wasting time” on maintenance, this might be something to consider. Otherwise, it’s an unparalleled joy to use. The biggest downside of this monitor is that, from now on, every other non-OLED monitor will feel like pure garbage by comparison—especially in dark scenes, where blacks will no longer appear black but just gray.

MSI MPG 341CQPX It's 1800R. 240Hz qd-oled HDR I have the same setup (w 9800x3D) and I can only recommend it to you, the image quality and the fluidity with the 5080 is pure orgasm for the eyes.

I used to play on a 48" LG C2 and down sized to 34" MSI QD-OLED 240hz and I'm very happy with my decision. The big screen is cool for single player games and such but it sucks for anything competitive. Literally turning my head to see the map lol.

I had that MSI monitor and when I enabled G-Sync, I had black screen flickers (not OLED flicker), it looked like losing a signal or something. I had to return it.  I can send you a video I have recorded if you are interested.

I have tried 3 DP cables and two HDMI. Result was the same. It had black screen flickers several times per 10 seconds. So it wasnt usable for me while paying so much money for it. When I arrive home, I edit this post and add the video. EDIT: I apologise after such a time, I have completely forgot *facepalm*. Here is that video, play it in 0,5-0,75x and you will see those "flickers". https://youtu.be/JrB4Re83yO8?si=4dbeQjR6OaJCwuIW

It didnt look like in your video. There were completely black blank screens several times per a few seconds. Unfortunately they were faster than my phone camera to see them properly on my video, but when you slow it down, you will see them. I have tried 3 DP and 2 HDMI cables and everytime chose 144Hz. I didnt even try to set the 160Hz cause I wanted RBG@10Bit. Anyway, this still should not have been a problem, because this monitor supports DSC and my GPU too (RTX 4070Ti).

I just bought an MPG 341CQPX. It's gorgeous. One feature people don't talk about is the built-in KVM. I have my gaming PC set up with it, obviously, but the built-in KVM means I can connect my MacBook Air and **boom**. Mouse, keyboard, monitor, and speakers are all now switched over the MacBook Air. It's like a built in docking station.

I bit the bullet and ordered the MSI MPG 341CQPX. My bank account is not happy, but I hope I will be.

I went from a 40" 21:9 to a 49" 32:9 and don't have any plans to go back. If you are mostly gaming then I would agree that a bigger 21:9 makes more sense but I also think 45" is way to low PPI for a 1440p monitor. I have a 3080 ti and it's been holding up ok gaming on this screen but I do anticipate having to upgrade it before too long to keep up. I have the 144hz model of the MSI you listed and love it. If you want to save a little I would recommend looking at it since you won't be hitting about 145 FPS anyway unless you are playing at a lower resolution.

Using a MSI MPG 341CQPX currently and the sweet spot for ultrawide is forever IMMERSION. GX9 is the immersion king right now so I want it…

# grab the last MSI MPG 341CQPX on ebay from MSI refurb starlit partner

definitely been out of stock at all the main resellers (amazon, bb, b&h, walmart). I went to microcenter yesterday and they never had the model in stock before. Not sure if MSI is trying to get the MAG version to sell more before releasing more stock of the MPG variant. Not being able to find this model definitely influenced me to get this refurbished model from ebay. fomo'd

Can’t speak to the LG, but I’ve had the MSI MPG341 for about a week now and it’s been great. Coming from a 165hz Acer Predator IPS, it definitely feels smoother and the colors are crazy. The 1800R curve feels just right, while the 800R curve was too much when I looked at one at Best Buy. I’d say get whichever one you can find cheaper.

Had this for a couple months now. Absolutely love it. Worth every penny.

You can read more here: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/learn/led-vs-oled. Please note that this could be difficult to read and there are a lot more details that you need to pay attention to in order to choose a monitor that suits your setup and room conditions, which I didn't mention. You need to do your own research. Contrast: OLED (infinity) > VA (~3,500:1) > IPS (~800–1,400:1). Speed (GtG 80%): OLED (0–1 ms) > IPS/VA (2–10 ms). Colors: OLED > IPS ≈ VA Viewing angles: OLED > IPS > VA > TN In short, OLED is the best option, but it has an annoying VRR flicker and poorer text clarity than IPS. There is also a risk of burn-in, but many manufacturers have built-in prevention methods and warranties. Unlike WOLED, QD-OLED cannot display black properly in bright rooms, but it produces more vivid colours. VA panels tend to exhibit ghosting, though some high-end models either eliminate or minimise this issue. Mini-LED backlighting is also available for IPS or VA panels. Manufacturers are trying to increase the contrast ratio to match OLED, but producing(setup FALD) high-quality mini-LEDs is uncommon due to artefacts in grey tones, blooming, and so on (although Chinese brands such as Titan Army have succeeded). If it were up to me, I would choose OLED without hesitation. The ultra-wide (21:9), 240 Hz QD-OLED panel is Gen 2 (Gen 4 is expected in 2026). I would choose either the MSI 341QCPX for under $800 or the AW3425DW for between $650 and $700.

Love my new MSI MPG 341cpqx!!! I bought #7 for $670 with a best buy price match! I think the rep messed up too lol and used the listed price of the MSI 341cpq no x 175hz model where the x has 240hz!!! Was my compromise for 5k2k monitor not being exactly what I wanted and worried about tariffs raising the price on anything in the future

I'm def hyped for 5k2k, but it's not as big of a ppi boost at 45in, and I def don't got that kinda room on my desk, I was going to wait for Q4 39in 5k2k but tariff pricing got me worried, so I found a hell of a deal on an MSI MPG 34cqpx to finally get OLED at my desk for just 683 USD at Best buy! Can't wait to pick it up. Had a va panel there for a bit and I was getting sick of the black smearing, I've got an OLED TV 55in LG BX for many years now and it's finally time I get oled at my desk. I'll wait and see how pricing changes for 5k2k with tariffs and probably be glad I jumped on something before everything gets more expensive. 800r is def too aggressive and wasn't going to settle while spending 2k or above

This post helped me pull the trigger on the MSI 341CQPX, was hoping for one of the new LG 5k2ks 34 or 39in coming q4, but tariffs got me shook and dont want to spend that kinda money later after 50% or more price increase so Im settling for a somewhat more lateral move from the same resolution but VA monitor with some not great black smearing I couldnt deal with any longer. At least its come down in price compared to the $1300 the alienware launched at, $750 is a lot easier to say yes to LOL. Was surprised to see zero mention of this MSI monitor on the monitor unboxed youtube channel and were still recommending the alienware for their best of last November but the RTINGS ultrawide article had it as best. Was tempted by the 45" 5k2k for a bit, also way to big for my desk and dont think I'll like that 800R curve, dont want to settle when spending that much so I'll just get an OLED upgrade for much cheaper and wait and see how tariffs fallout by xmas.

I just got the MSI 341CQPX and it’s unreal. KVM comes in clutch for hooking up the work laptop, also works great for Mac.

MSI MPG 341CQPX. I don’t know what it is in that non- rippable money, but down here in the states it’s $699 . 240hz 34” Freesync and Gsync comparable. 98W USB C. Has true black 400 and peak 1000 modes for HDR.

I have the MSI 341CQPX, I don't see any of this text fringing people normally see. Maybe I'm just lucky, but it's been fine for me.

I will go with the msi. The problem is it’s more than a month now and the stores here in PH is still out of stock :( I hope they restock this monitor soon

Got mine also from Battle Pass Tech Parts, pero it was special order. Congrats sa purchase!

I’m getting the 175Hz version of the MSI and LG 34GS95QE(240Hz) for almost the same price. Unable to get the 240Hz version as of now for MSI. Would you still recommend the MSI?

MSI MPG 341CQPX. I have it with a 7800x3d and 9070 XT and love it.

I'm looking through this right now - I think for gaming and laptop use, the MSI MPG 341CQPX seems to be the only monitor out that does what it does (240Hz, QD-OLED, 90W USB-C DP)

The 341CQPX is better statistically than all the other 34” monitors - thats why I chose it, also as a laptop user alongside PC gaming, the USB-C PD is a must have

MSI 34CQPX. 1800R curve, 240Hz, great resolution and firmware updates, good OLED care. Easily obtainable for 750$ US

Burn-in would definitely be an issue but most manufacturers do offer a pretty hefty warranty, I know Alienware is like 3 years unless you disable their OLED care features. Edit: I just remembered that Monitor's Unboxed have a mini-series where they test OLED burn-in on their productivity monitor over the period of a few months, they have few episodes but here's the latest update at 1 year: https://youtu.be/k-NOoMklpPM?si=IwopHmWII8CVB6Bz I have no clue about Thunderbolt support though, you'll generally only find that on professional grade monitors and really high-end gaming monitors. Lots of good OLED options to choose from and Alienware in particular has been fantastic with the pricing on their models in general. Currently I've been drooling over their new AW3425DW but even the older AW3423DWF (and DW) is still fantastic. Other good options are the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDM, LG 34GS95QE-B, MSI MPG 341CQPX QD-OLED, Acer Predator X34 X and Samsung Odyssey OLED G85SB S34BG85. The Asus in particular has a few extra features like a USB Hub and KVM Switch but unfortunately not Thunderbolt support. It's kinda hard to go wrong with a new OLED choice tbh, they're all very similar in terms of specs and generally just differ in build quality and tuning. If you don't want to risk burn-in or deal with having to RMA and wait for a return then I'd look into a middle/higher-end VA panel for what you want. They're perfectly suitable for most games (especially single-player gaming) with minimal smearing compared to the cheaper VAs but still have fantastic colours and no risk of burn-in. These are the VAs I'd aim for (in this order): * Alienware AW3425DWM * AOC CU34G2XP/BK * Asus TUF Gaming VG34VQL3A * Asus ROG SWIFT PG35VQ (old and may be hard to find) * ASRock Phantom Gaming PG34QRT3A * ASRock Phantom Gaming PG34QRT2B There are a few others in the mid-range but I'm unsure of their quality. For competitive multiplayer like CS, Apex, Valorant etc though you'll still want an OLED for the motion clarity and responsiveness.

You're welcome :) Unfortunately I'm not sure if any of these monitors have any weird quirks with Mac devices to be aware of outside of their PPI but they all support firmware updates over USB so if there are any issues then they can fixed with an update so it should just be temporary. If the budget allows though then the 2 main choices I'd have would be between the Alienware AW3425DW or the MSI MPG 341CQPX, the MSI has a KVM switch but is $150 more expensive so it's up to you if you want to spend the extra for that (neither has Thunderbolt support though unfortunately). There's also the Gigabyte MO34WQC2 but I haven't seen any reviews of this one so I have no clue. Some of their 1440p monitors are good value though and it's slightly cheaper than the Alienware with similar specs but also has a KVM Switch like the MSI so might be worth a look if you want that but don't want to spend $900 for it. If those are too expensive though then most of the older models of the above are still worth it, the first Gen OLEDs and QD-OLEDs around 165hz-175hz are still fantastic monitors.

MSI MPG 341CQPX the best 34" hands down

3 year warranty mate, no need to worry

I got this one being delivered today. Jumping from a 120hz 3ms response time IPS. So hyped

That I’m not sure. I’m not knowledge on the technical details. I just plug it in and pump all settings to ultra. I’ve been using it about 8 hours and all I can say is wow. This monitor is absolutely insane. I wish I had bought it sooner

Running the AW3423DW since launch which despite annoying fans has no coil whine but I know what you mean - when I tried upgrading to the MSI 341CQPX, when the monitor was on, all was good but in standby, horrible coil whine from its power unit was audible. My pc is in my bedroom so had to send it back. Holding out for newer gen QD-OLED UWs.

I wouldn't say it's pointless, you could get a working model, but it's a more widespread issue than I thought and something I will always check for from now on - I mean, I used the MSI for several hours and tested it quite a bit, was happy with it and what a disappointment it was to realise it's when it's turned off that its problematic, wouldn't have crossed my mind. So overall I'd try to upgrade but definitely buy somewhere with an easy return policy.

My recommendation is you buy the MSI 341CQPX. It’s 1440 P, 34 inches, and has the best reviews on rtings. Like you I was seriously considering between 27 inch or the Dell but the MSI has better specs and it’s only a little bit more when it’s on sale. I bought mine for $1000 CAD prior to Black Friday. I’m sure it’ll be on sale again on Boxing Day. I got it from Amazon. And I have to say it’s absolutely amazing. The picture quality is just phenomenal.

I choose the mgp, it’s awesome.

Mmmh no, i didn’t hear any fan noise. Thanks !!

I would, i own one, my brother and a friend does, they all love it. I sold my G8 for it, no regrets. Hate the Samsung tizen os shite

I have a 240hz qd-oled 21:9 from msi and can tell you that it's crazy good for gaming. I recently played Cyberpunk on it and cann tell you that it's glorious. The wider aspect ratio is adding so much to the immersion of the game. It's like being inside the game, rather than looking through a window.

341CQPX owner since December, I haven’t encountered any issues like text clarity with it. I run a 9070 XT and I’m able to get at least 100 fps on 99% of my games, higher using FSR. Wonderful experience and a huge upgrade from my prior Acer XZ273U 1440 240hz VA

Interesting, I thought it could potentially vary from panel to panel. I’ve never noticed issues, so I suppose I’m one of the lucky ones! I snagged mine around Black Friday for $750 post shipping + tax

The alienware aw3425dw was released last month. It has an 240 hz refresh rate instead of 175 and goes for 799 dollar The Gigabyte MO34WOCQ2 and the MSI 341CQPX have the same panel as the alienware i mentioned. If i were you i would get the cheapest one of those three. And if you want 49 inches then the samsung g93sc(glossy) or the philips 49M2C8900(semi-gloss). These two also have the same panel and are both 1440p,240hz. Samsung also has a smart version (95 instead of 93) or oled (sd) instead of sc, but i would get non smart, qd oled.

I am using that exact monitor for 8+ hours of office work daily, plus gaming as well. Text clarity is great (at that resolution I use 150% or 175% scaling, I detect absolutely zero color fringing issues). For burn in I can't say yet but there's a 3 year warranty for burn-in so I wouldn't worry so much. Current gen seems to not be affected by burn-in as much anymore.

Any of those 3 will have a nice PPI upgrade for you. I recently bought the MPG 341CQPX and have been happy with it. I'm coming from a 24inch 1440P TN panel. The fringing people mention hasn't bothered me as I mostly use it for gaming and minimal text focused reading. I opted for the 240hz version because I play CS2, if I didn't I'd likely go with the MAG341 version or the AW - whichever is cheaper.

Get an oled 240hz ultrawide for gaming and keep the current monitor for work. Set it as a dual monitor setup. MSi 341cqpx, Dell aw3425dw, gigabyte mo34wqc2 …. All use the same panel so whatever is cheapest. If you need to use a laptop, go for the MSi since it has usb c dp alt mode and power delivery.

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.

.. depends on what it’s for and what size you want. Work - ips would be the better option but these are limited since they all are in love with oled. Play - oled, you got many options. 34” - this is the standard ultrawide at 3440x1440. 49” - this is the upper size for those who want super ultrawide at 5120x1440. New monitors from 45” and up at 5k2k are coming out … these are mainly for play and there are some ips ones available but these are expensive.. over your budget. Qd-oled are currently the main fair for oled. 34” qd-oled are around 700. Options: aw3423dwf, 341cwp/341cqpx, many others. Qd-oled for 49” are below 1k, 491cqp/491cqpx and others. IPs - expensive …Dell, asus, lg has some but prices range from 700 and up high.

Good system and you just want to play well - 341cqpx, this is a solid 240hz 3440x1440 qd-oled, hdmi 2.1/dp 1.4a/usb c You just want the extra width and you have the system to handle it.. - 491cqpx, 49” 5120x1440 ad-oled, HDMI 2.1/dp 1.4a/usb c. There are others…Phillips, asus, dell, gigabyte, lg is a bit different… they use their own oled tech and not qd-oled. You notice, I didn’t mention Samsung.. I’m not partial to them due to ..qc issues I see here. From what I’ve seen, the current solid option is MSi…it fits the price, performance, and the connectivity. On dp 2.1… you have to wait for the next gen monitors to come out.

MSi 341cqpx or 491cqpx, 240hz version. Take out the x and 175hz/144hz version but cheaper. Dell aw3425dw, 240hz version. With the way prices are, I can’t recommend aw3423dwf… price is a bit high for what you get. I’m not a fan of Samsung monitors. Asus, Philips… has them as well. I would go for the best price since they are basically the same.

… 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.

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.

Go for the Dell aw3425dw or MSi 341cqpx for oled. If your in the us and want something cheaper, check out m34wq from Best Buy.. it’s a solid low cost IPs ultrawide.

Not the mpg 341cqpx... Its my firts ultrawide and going by rtings i'd say they didn't lie it is a beautiful monitor but it is not the second coming of christ they sold it to be. On the paper its an awesome monitor and perhaps im too harsh judging it because the over the top praise it gets but it has its short comings. Its hdr is hardly hdr. The vrr flicker is real, like real real, even if you manage to maintain stable frames sometimes the monitor says fuck it and flicks nonetheless. But it is very solid, its just that for an almost 1000 bucks monitor i expected it to be impecable from the moment i took it out of the box and it required a lot more work to tune than i expected.

MSI 240Hz Oled 34" 3840x1440 for \~ $800 is hard to beat.

I have the Acer X35 (same panel as PG35VQ) and MSI MPG 341CQPX (same panel as the Alienware 3425DW that you mentioned). I miss the brightness of the X35. The HDR 1000 mode of pretty much any OLED is not even close to the amazing brightness of the X35. Having the FALD backlight makes a massive difference. It was jarring going from HDR 1000 of the X35 to True Black 400. The HDR 1000 mode of the MPG 341 CQPX almost feels gimmicky, so I use True Black 400 for most games. That being said, the pixel response time improvement and no VA smearing is worth the trade off. 200hz on the X35 had lots of smearing with specific color changes, and now I’m running 240hz with vastly improved clarity. TB400 still looks amazing and your eyes adjust to it. I will occasionally run things on the X35 for a taste of that old brightness, but yea it’s not worth it over the other improvements of the OLED.

The MSI MPG series has a KVM with good charging speeds, and the MAG doesn't usually. Check if the one you're looking at has a KVM or not. Also idk how it converts, but the 34in MSI MPG OLED is about 700 USD, if it converts decent, or is a good deal I would 100% recommend it

I was all in on a 49” but ended up with two 34” monitors. MSI MPG 341CQPX QD-OLED - the main monitor I game and watch stuff on. & MSI Optix MAG342CQR VA - secondary monitor for all other stuff while gaming or watching. I just have them next to eachother but my mount allows me to freely move them both around, so I could make either vertical with ease. Edit: I run my main monitor @240hz and the secondary monitor @ 60hz.

I am looknig forward to buy "MSI MPG 341CQPX" for good price. MSI looks like the best option in the market, for now.

I bought  "MSI MPG 341CQPX", just got it yesterday. I'll use as refference the small-wide monitor i am using -> "MSI mag301rf" with is fantastic itself. Colors, pixel density, factory callibrations etc. is 9/10 With "MSI MPG 341CQPX"... The overall color, games, movies are looking good, but desktop experience... I was gonna "flip the table" while trying to callibrate it properly (did not do it still). The desktop icons are oversaturated - It feels like there is too much contrast. I also have a problem with objects that are black or transition from 'almost black' or 'transparent to black' appearing completely black, even when they should be otherwise visible. For refference my desktop background creation -> [https://imgur.com/a/TGSzDcC](https://imgur.com/a/TGSzDcC)

Fixed my problem a litte (still need some improvements but it is bearable). My settings are \[Monitor itself\] (monitor menu, not msi program) Professional -> pro mode -> user Image \-> brightness 54 \-> contrast 70 \-> color temp -> custom -> all 100, red 97 \[nvidia settings\] - adjust desktop color settings \-> brightness 40% \-> contrast 20% \-> gamma 1.20 Edit: new settings

Never used gsync/vsync/ freesync in my life. My words on this topic cannot be relied upon. I have newest firmware (0.23). Turned HDR Turned on adaptive-vsync in the monitor menu Used: [https://www.testufo.com/gsync](https://www.testufo.com/gsync) Looks like it is working, I guess? Edit: I played one game that jump from 240 to 100-70 fps constantly It is working

I’d suggest MSI MPG 341CQPX QD-OLED 34 over Alienware for right now since Alienware still uses gen 1 panels. There upcoming 2025 model will have gen 2 tho

Been down your road since I picked up a Taichi 9070xt. Wanted 4k decided on an ultra wide instead. It’s the middle ground for how demanding it is on graphics card being 1.5x 1440p gaming where 4k would be 2x demanding. And if you do go ultra wide MSI MPG 341CQPX QD-OLED 34 is best bang for your buck. Newest gen panels for ultra wide with out going in new 5k territory.

Probably the best buy would be the **Alienware AW3423DWF**, which uses a 1st-gen QD-OLED panel and runs at 165Hz. If you really want **240Hz**, you can go for the **MSI MPG 341CQPX** (just make sure to get the **240Hz version**, as there are multiple versions with minor differences and lower refresh rates). Alternatively, you could wait for the **AW3423DW/F refresh from Alienware**, which should be released at the end of April. It’s called the **AW3425DW**, and it’s expected to feature a **2nd-gen QD-OLED panel** with **240Hz**.

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 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.

I had the MSI 240Hz and sent it back. Instead I went for the Alienware 240Hz OLED. It’s cheaper and I didn’t need the KVM or 90w charging.

I have this. I don’t game as much on it but my work involves having it on several hours of static mail or doc pages. So I was wary of OLED. But this is yes from me. I have thoroughly enjoyed using this and it looks sensational in person. My first ultra wide and it honestly has amused me over the last few months of ownership. Mac doesn’t utilize the high Hz but the colours look immense.

Haven’t personally faced too much but I also don’t necessarily think I’ve been scanning for black smearing tbf.

Bought this one from a sale for 199€ a month or two ago from a local retail tech store. I was prepared to return it since everyone warned about the "smearing issues". Personally haven't even noticed the issues if there are any, ended up not considering return after starting use. I've enjoyed a variety of games on it, ARPG, MMO, FPS both arcade and tactical. Has worked good, colors are good, viewing angle good, quality good, brightness good. Can recommend, but maybe wait for a sale if you can.

My eye can't even notice anything above 100 honestly, Mabye someone's can, however mine can't. However I am using higher and it looks damn incredible lol. I think you would be fine with this msi. If you want something better, I'd get a Samsung personally.

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.
