MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24

Built for enthusiast setups, the MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24 introduces the AI Care Sensor, utilizing precise human detection for real-time OLED protection while ensuring complete user privacy. Connectivity options include full bandwidth DisplayPort 2.1a (UHBR20) and a USB Type-C port with 98W Power Delivery to streamline desktop cable management. Gamers can also use the exclusive Gaming Intelligence app to easily customize their display profile and settings.

MAG 321UP QD-OLED X24

For gamers upgrading to a 4K QD-OLED experience, the MAG 321UP QD-OLED X24 comes with comprehensive MSI OLED Care 2.0 protection to minimize burn-in risks and extend panel lifespan. It also includes a Type-C port with 15W Power Delivery to cover basic connectivity needs.

In terms of specifications, the MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24 and MAG 321UP QD-OLED X24 can be seen as an update to the existing 32" lineup with better panels. Both models retain a refresh rate of up to 240Hz at 4K resolution, and also offer similar IO with DP 2.1 (80 Gbps) support. The main difference comes in the form of the panel, which has been updated with two new features, DarkArmor Film & Uniform Luminance.

DarkArmor Film: This specialized film technology is designed to enhance light absorption and eliminate the distracting purple or reddish tints often visible on standard QD-OLEDs under ambient light. It boosts pure black levels by up to 40%, significantly improving contrast and delivering superior image performance. Furthermore, it upgrades the screen surface hardness from 2H to 3H, offering 2.5x better scratch resistance to effectively withstand daily wear and tear.

Uniform Luminance: To address the jarring brightness shifts often found in standard HDR, this feature allows users to customize the HDR brightness curve. By correlating specific brightness levels to different display window sizes, it ensures a stable and smooth brightness experience across various usage scenarios.

The MPG model is further rocking MSI's AI Care Sensor, which is part of its OLED Care 3.0 feature suite. This adds an NPU-based IC for proactive panel protection, which we have covered in their recent OLED Care 3.0 designs. The monitors are now available for purchase at leading global retailers.
