MSI's MEG 342C QD-OLED gaming display has been long overdue but it looks like the final retail units are already shipping out as we get our first unboxing.
MSI's Flagship MEG 342C QD-OLED Gaming Display Unboxed, Premium Features With Premium Aesthetics
The MSI MEG 342C QD-OLED gaming display was announced last year at Computex so it's been nine months since we got an update. In fact, the last time we heard about it was another leak & there has been no information shared officially since then. But it looks like we have our first look and unboxing of the retail unit by leaker, chi11eddog.
While there's not much to go by in the pictures, we can see that the MSI MEG 342C QD-OLED is a premium design with an all-black color scheme that includes hints of golden color on the stand & feet. There's also the gold-plated MSI Dragon logo which the MEG series is known for. You can see the I/O on the sides of the display and there's also some on the underneath side of the back panel.
Here's Everything We Know About The MSI MEG 342C QD-OLED Gaming Display
The MSI MEG series gaming displays are some of the most premium monitors that one can buy. The latest iteration of these displays comes with QD-OLED (Quantum Dot) technology which has been featured on the mighty MEG 342C QD-OLED. This display has a load of features and to start things off, it comes with a 34" Curved (21:9) panel which has a maximum resolution of 3440x1440 (UWQHD) and a refresh rate of 175 Hz.
The main highlights of the MSI MEG 342C QD-OLED Gaming Display are that it comes with the latest HDMI 2.1 connectors (two of them) along with a DisplayPort 2.1 and a MiniDP connector. These are to make sure that the monitor is ready for the latest PC Graphics cards and consoles. There's also a KVM USB HUB on the back IO and the USB Type-C port can additionally allow up to 65W PD charging.
The MEG 342C QD-OLED comes with a 1800R curvature and looks premium but the most unique aspect about this monitor is its SpectrumBar technology which might look like a standard RGB LED at the bottom of the panel but it's much more than that. That's where the G.I. Engine comes into play. The display also comes with a small sensor in the middle, right above the SpectrumBar which seems to be a part of the G.I. engine and how the bar works. It will be interesting to see that in the action.
