MSI MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24: An Analysis of its Fourth-Generation Features and Performance

The MSI MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24 is a new gaming monitor featuring a 32-inch panel with 4K (3840 x 2160p) resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate, and a 0.03ms (GtG) response time.

The display utilizes Samsung’s fourth-generation QD-OLED panel, which features Penta Tandem QD-OLED technology. This structure is said to enable higher brightness levels or maintain the same brightness at lower power consumption compared to previous generations. The technology also improves luminous efficiency by 1.3 times and extends lifespan by two times.

Previously common concerns with OLED panels, such as reduced brightness in brightly lit rooms and potential burn-in, have been addressed by this model.

To combat reflections and enhance use in bright environments, MSI included DarkArmor Film, a coating claiming to increase the panel’s toughness by 40% and boost pure black levels by up to 40%. The source notes that black levels were observed to be approximately twice as deep compared to its predecessor.

Addressing burn-in risk is the AI Care Sensor, a novel feature located beneath the OSD joystick. This sensor utilizes an integrated NPU algorithm within an AI chip to process images captured in a 75-degree field of view. The system continuously captures images and searches for human presence; once a human leaves the monitor area, a timer begins, allowing the display to go to sleep and giving the QD-OLED pixels rest.

In terms of connectivity, the MPG 322UR is equipped with an array of ports including two HDMI 2.1 (UHD@240Hz), one DisplayPort 2.1a (UHBR20), a Type-C port offering 98W PD, two USB 5Gbps Type-A, and one USB 5Gbps Type-B.

The physical design features extremely thin bezels around the 32-inch panel. The stand is described as very sturdy, utilizing a single foot design.
