I'm increasing my size and surface hardness.

Quick Overview

The MSI MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 gaming monitor features fifth-generation QD-OLED panels with an RGB stripe sub-pixel layout and improved hardness, which significantly reduces the magenta tinting issue present in earlier QD-OLEDs, resulting in superior clarity and true blacks, even when tested with abrasive cleaning.

Key Points: The MSI MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 utilizes a new fifth-generation QD-OLED panel featuring an RGB stripe sub-pixel layout, addressing color accuracy issues. The new panel design notably improves hardness, which mitigates the noticeable magenta tinting common in previous generation QD-OLED displays when viewing solid bright colors or white backgrounds. The monitor boasts a 34-inch, 3440x1440 (UWQHD) resolution, 360Hz refresh rate, and a 0.03ms (GTG) response time, making it a top-tier gaming display. Connectivity includes 2x HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1a (UHBR 13.5), USB-C (98W), 2x USB-A (5Gbps), and USB-B (5Gbps Uplink), offering comprehensive single-cable solutions. The presenter demonstrates the improved color layering by comparing the new RGB stripe layout to the current (older) sub-pixel layout, showing better clarity, especially with fine text. Durability testing included scratching the panel with a cat's claws, which resulted in damage only on the older, softer panel, while the new monitor showed resistance, although the host still plans to be very careful with it. The monitor's OSD offers advanced features like AI-based Eye-Tracking, AI Crosshair, and adaptive sync control, which are highly functional.

Context: This video features a sponsored review of the MSI MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 gaming monitor, focusing on its advancements over previous QD-OLED technology. The presenter discusses the monitor's key specifications, including its 34-inch ultrawide form factor, 360Hz refresh rate, and the significant engineering changes made to the QD-OLED panel itself, specifically addressing the known issue of magenta tinting and panel softness that plagued earlier models.
