MSI to Launch MPG 341CQPX QD-OLED 34″ Ultrawide 240Hz Monitor

In some exclusive news, we’ve got information about a forthcoming new screen from MSI in their expanding QD-OLED monitor range. The MPG 341CQPX QD-OLED will offer a new 34″ ultrawide option, using the brand new 240Hz refresh rate Samsung Display QD-OLED panel being produced this year. MSI already have a couple of 34″ models in their other MEG and MAG ranges, but this new model will enter their top-end MPG range instead and feature this higher refresh rate. We’ll explain the differences between this and their other recently released (and similarly named) MAG 341CQP below that we also recently reviewed, and run down the specs and features you can expect from this new model.

MSI MPG 341CQPX QD-OLED Specs

The screen is 34″ in size with a 21:9 aspect ratio and ultrawide format. It has a fairly subtle 1800R curvature, far less aggressive than the 800R curve of competing LG.Display WOLED panel-based screens like the Asus ROG Swift PG34WCDM for instance.

There is a 3440 x 1440 resolution, 0.03ms G2G response time spec, 1.5 million:1 contrast ratio, 250 nits brightness (SDR), 1000 nits peak brightness (HDR) and 178/178 viewing angles. While not listed on the spec we were provided, we believe this will also include a 10-bit colour depth support and a wide colour gamut covering ~98% DCI-P3 as per their other recent QD-OLED monitors. The 240Hz refresh rate is supported by adaptive-sync for variable refresh rates from compatible NVIDIA and AMD systems.

For connectivity there are 1x DisplayPort 1.4 (with DSC), 2x HDMI 2.1 (full speed with 4K 120Hz console support) and 1x USB type-C with DP Alt mode and 98W power delivery. There’s also a couple of USB data ports, and we believe a headphone connection too. A KVM switch function is included as well.

The screen will have the same fan-less design with custom heatsink and graphene panel as their other new OLED monitors. It includes a 3 year warranty which includes burn-in cover, and their wide range of impressive OLED Care 2.0 features and settings.

QD-OLED Generation Confusion

Despite initial expectations and the information we were given by Samsung Display, this new 240Hz QD-OLED panel does not have the updated pixel structure from their gen 2 and 3 panels. It has the same text clarity therefore as the original gen 1, 175Hz panel from 2022 More information here on that topic: An Update and Correction for the New 34″ Ultrawide 240Hz QD-OLED Panel

MPG 341CQPX vs MAG 341CQP

You might rightly ask how this new screen is different to the recently released MAG 341CQP (reviewed), which has a very similar product name as you can see. Here’s the differences:

• This new model has a 240Hz refresh rate instead of 175Hz MAG 341CQP does.
• The MAG 341CQP is part of MSI’s MAG series and so has some lower spec features. It has a USB-C connection which has a lower 15W power delivery, compared with the 98W of the MPG 341CQPX. Normally their MAG series don’t support firmware updates either, but the MAG 341CQP does seem to offer that according to the product page.
• The new X model will have a higher retail price. The MAG 341CQP retails at the moment for $780 USD, whereas the new MPG 341CQPX will have an MSRP of $999 USD at launch.

Availability and Pricing

The 175Hz MAG 341CQP retails for ~$780 USD in the USA, and for £999 GBP in the UK, or €1299 in Europe. It’s available from many key retailers here.

We are told the MPG 341CQPX should be released in July in the US and August in Europe, delayed a little from the original ETA of April 2024. Updated pricing received tells us that it should retail for £949 GBP in the UK (inc VAT), €1099 in Europe (inc VAT) and $999 USD in the US (without VAT). We will be featuring a review of this screen too as well.
