This MSI Gaming Monitor Is on Sale During Prime Day (and It Was Already a Good Deal)
OLED monitors are proving to be one of the most interesting options for gamers: not only do they offer exceptional picture quality, but they also have some special advantages when it comes to speed. And the MSI MPG 341CQPX is a brilliant example of what a great OLED gaming monitor can be.
I have personally tested the MSI MPG 341CQPX and it is simply amazing. It stretches wide with a 34-inch display that curves slightly to create a more even distance between your eyes and the display. The display has a stunning 21:9 aspect ratio, which is not only great for truly immersing yourself in gaming, but also provides plenty of space to work with. The display remains beautiful and clear thanks to the 3440×1440 resolution.
So far, these characteristics do not greatly distinguish the MSI MPG 341CQPX from rather modest ultrawide monitors. It’s a new QD-OLED panel that gets the job done. Each pixel on the display is self-illuminating, allowing one completely black pixel to sit next to another that is completely illuminated. This technology eliminates ghosting and is a sight to behold. While the MSI MPG 341CQPX may have limited peak brightness across the entire screen, it can see small areas glow impressively bright. Thanks to the quantum dots on the QD-OLED panel, the MSI MPG 341CQPX also achieves vibrant colors. And thanks to the newer panel used in this monitor, the MSI MPG 341CQPX avoids some of the text clarity issues that have plagued quite a few OLED monitors released over the past couple of years.
Another advantage of the MSI MPG 341CQPX OLED panel is its pixel response time. In this case, each pixel changes in a fraction of a millisecond. On IPS and VA panels, you can often see latency in pixel changes in the form of ghosting. This looks like a visible trail behind moving objects, as you can see in Blur Busters’ UFO test . With faster pixel response, MSI MPG 341CQPX displays fast actions more clearly and fits perfectly with the 240Hz display refresh rate.
With stunning colors, an impressive contrast ratio, sharp clarity and fast visuals, the MSI MPG 341CQPX has a lot to offer any gamer who wants to make their gaming worlds come to life. And while the monitor was already a bargain compared to the competition when it launched at $899, this deal brings the price down to $770 and leaves little room for other high-end monitors to challenge it.
