MSI - MPG 491CQPX QD-OLED

G9 is trash, MSI 491QCPX all day.

Just lool at all the threads with people that have QC issues. On top of that, MSI has usbc charging, usbc display, and kvm.

Just got the MSI MPG431CQPX and I love it. Though I should say it’s my first OLED, coming from the AW3418. I prefer the lesser curve, but I’ve been having fun with it and the text clarity is good, but I don’t use it for work or school. And I didnt have an OLED previously. I say all this so you can take my anecdotal review with a grain of salt.

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.

I recently got an MSI 491cqp for a crazy steal (120hz version of the 491cqpx) and I couldn't be more happy with it. I will say from my personal experience, so mileage may vary, that having such a large pixel amount will absolutely impact performance a good bit. I have used it in Picture By Picture mode which splits it into two 2560x1440 monitors and it performs a good bit better than in full sized mode, but you also lose out on some quality and some sharpness in my opinion so I'm torn between which mode I should personally use. I would definitely recommend the 491cqpx monitor if you do ever consider it, but it's good to consider the performance impact such a wide monitor could have!

My MSI 49” oled is 1800R, has built in KVM and cheaper than Samsung’s G9 OLED. Comes with 3 years burn in warranty too. 1800R may not be enough for you though?

All the 49" OLED are using the same Samsung panels so it really come down to features and warranty. I was looking at a Samsung but ended up buying the MSi since it has USB-C power delivery, a built in KVM and a 3 year burn in warranty. It's also usually cheaper and does not seem to have the QC issues that a lot of people are reporting on the Samsungs.

MSI 49” QD-OLED. $799 at sam’s club right now.

I went from two 32" 1920x1080 to an MSI curved 49" 5120x1440 OLED. I've been fine with the switch. I got the MSI as a refurb on eBay for $650. It looked brand new.

I have the msi 49” with qd-OLED and this review is kind of a breath of fresh air

Because I’ve been jealous of all the posts about the LG 5k2k, everyone is making it sound like such a leak forward from the 49” Samsung odyssey and MSI. This post made some great points about QD-OLED having its merits

How many FPS are you seeing? I just ordered my 49" MSI OLED and have the 4070ti super and a 9800x3d with it, hoping to see some good performance

Fantastic news. I look forward to mine getting shipped in next week 😍

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.
