MSI has decided to make the QD-OLED monitor segment much more competitive as revealed in the latest price update published by Monitors Unboxed.
MSI Spices Up Things In The QD-OLED Monitor Market With Competitive Prices, Putting ASUS's Counterpart At The Backseat
Regarding this particular segment, the models by ASUS and MSI have toughened things up since both come head-to-head in the onboard specifications and features. Still, it seems like MSI might get an edge here, as the firm "revises" the MSRP of the MSI 321URX QD-OLED, and it will now retail for US $949.99, which is a great price when you consider the fact that the ASUS counterpart, the one we recently cover, has an MSRP of $1,299 as revealed recently.
Giving a recap on the specifications of the MSI 321URX QD-OLED, the monitor features a 32-inch 4K display with a blazing-fast 240 Hz refresh rate and a minimal 0.03ms response time, guaranteeing you the best gaming experience. The goodies accompanying the QD-OLED panel don't stop here since it features DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, along with 99% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage as well, providing a "crisp" display quality. We won't go into the details of what the QD-OLED panel offers, but in simple terms, it is indeed the best.
The monitor saw its first appearance at CES 2024, and judging by the AI trend, MSI decided to step onto the bandwagon with its own pretty interesting solutions. This includes an "RGB SpectrumBar", which is infused with AI capabilities to inform gamers about parameters such as player health. Moreover, you also track in-game enemies through the monitor's "AI Skylight," which detects incoming enemies and notifies the user through a sort of warning. These features are much different from the traditional ones in the market, and it is quite interesting to see them, as they encourage diversity.
Besides the 32" model, MSI will also offer its 27" 271QRX QD-OLED gaming monitor for $799 US & the 49" 491CQP QD-OLED gaming monitor for $1099 US.
With the new MSRP pricing, it seems like opting for the MSI 321URX QD-OLED if you are looking for a gaming QD-OLED display might be a no-brainer, considering that it could retail for around $350 less than what ASUS offers. Furthermore, MSI has a 3-year OLED burn-in warranty which was only recently matched by ASUS as a response to MSI.
