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 also needed the KVM functionality, so I went with the MSI MPG 341CQPX  I use it with my gaming PC and my MacBook Air. There's enough power passthrough to charge the MacBook while I'm using it. KVM aside, it's gorgeous and I love it.

Don't sleep on the MSI MPG 341CQPX GORGEOUS monitor, and has a built-in KVM if you also have a laptop (and has enough passthrough power to charge your laptop while working). I plug my MacBook into one single USB-C cable and the monitor, mouse, keyboard, and speakers from my PC are all now used by my Mac. It's awesome.

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

I'm new to the space but I just picked up the MSI MPG 341CQPX yesterday. First OLED monitor I've ever owned, went through a few ultrawides before I settled on this one.

I ordered this but then canceled it and went with the MSI MPG 341CQPX on sale for $50 more. Same panel, but looks more premium, has a KVM switch, better USB-C port, more USB A ports etc etc. Either will be great I’m hoping, but for $50 more, I’m sold on the MSI!

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.
