Thanks very much Simon - just got the MSI 32URX and followed your instructions to update the firmware.
The Asus monitor is much better. You do understand that after the last update of the Asus firmware, in fact, you bought a second-class monitor like me
@@bgpsbgps1 which asus?
They mean the PG32UCDM because it’s recently received a firmware update to improve HDR brightness and add Dolby Vision support. Although at this stage it’s not been tested or verified by any reviewers like ourselves. And there’s nothing to say that MSI won’t also update their HDR performance soon, I know they are looking in to it
@@tftcentral i got myself the MSI one last week. have to check later which FW i have running on it
@@jonnyfontane3607 yes, pg32ucdm; other than that: please note that msi definitely has 2 more points:
1. when you look at the screen directly (as usual), the colors are noticeably less bright and juicy than when viewed from an angle (top or left) on the monitor screen.
2. If you set the "night vision" option (reduces excessive darkening in hdr) to the "ai" position - in games with a top view (dota 2, for example, if you move the battlefield away with the mouse wheel on the replay), when moving the screen, light horizontal stripes moving in the direction of the screen movement are observed.
The first point - I am particularly concerned about
Thank you Simon… I haven’t got my hands on one of the latest MSI OLEDs. I tested the AW2725DF which has the best sRGB calibration I have ever seen on an OLED. Next up is the LG 32GS95UX…
Greetings from Igorslab…
Thanks for covering the FW update! I hope the next one also tries to reduce latency when signal is running at lower Hz such as 120 & 60
One BIG unresolved issue: OLED Panel Protect is supposed to run automatically when the display sleeps after 4 hours of cumulative usage, but it DOES NOT RUN in some circumstances! I haven’t been able to nail this down exactly, but on my setup it will never run panel protect until i run it manually, meaning it will ALWAYS hit the 16 hour limit and force itself to run in the middle of my work, unless I remember to run it myself before that point. HUGE HUGE PROBLEM because long gaps between panel refreshes can accelerate permanent burn in and MSI can’t seem to replicate it because their support has told me it is working for them.
This has happened to me on 2 different units, on all firmware versions, and I’ve seen others on Reddit describe the same exact issue so this isn’t just my model! I think it depends on the exact OSD settings you select, and possibly the devices you have connected.
I have a MacBook Pro connected via USB-C, and a PC connected via DisplayPort, and the “power button” setting on “standby” because that will keep usb devices powered when the display sleeps. I also have the Panel Protect Notice setting set to “16 hours” to prevent the 4-hour popup from interrupting me. I’m not sure if it’s a combination of all of these things or something else that is causing the problem, but others have described the Power Button and Protect Notice settings as being the cause of the problem for them.
If you could possibly investigate this further it would be a huge help because MSI doesn’t seem interested in investigating themselves.
I will also say that it seemed to work correctly right after the firmware update, but after panel protect ran automatically once, it failed to run automatically again after that. Like some flag isn’t getting reset properly to trigger the next cycle.
I can confirm that this is/was also happening with me. From what I can tell it always seems to activate if I just leave my PC and let it go into sleep mode, but it doesn't always activate if I just turn it off.
I did turn my power button setting to off and it does seem to consistently be working now but it might just be a coincidence.
@@Game_Crunch There’s gotta be a science to this but it’s so damn hard to test because you have to wait 4 hours to see if it will trigger…
@@Game_Crunch "Power button setting to off" what are you talking about? On the monitor or of the PC? The monitor shouldnt care about the state of the PC
@@haewymetal The monitor has a setting in the OSD called "Power Button", I'm talking about that setting.
@@Game_Crunch I just ordered the MPG 27" so gonna see in a few days if it also has this issue or not. I use my PC for well over 4h a day.
the 321urx needs a damn price cut in the UK - I imagine that could happen once it drops in 10 days.
It won't. Their strategy is low prices in the US for marketing and getting on the good side of reviewers, but then price gauge in every other region. It's the same thing as Asus.
Dell doesn't do that with the Alienware model but sadly it's curved.
@@houssamalucad753Not even available in America under 1400$ anymore.
Demand is just too high will take a while for price to drop
Exactly@@houssamalucad753
Not just this model, but also their Ultrawide OLED is incredibly overpriced in the UK. Shame cause I had to settle for a worse gigabyte version that costs more than what others can buy the MSI at.
Was it £1100 back then?
Yes, flickering still happens, seen on the loading screen of AC Odyssey. Also, there is a stuck pixel that moves when intended to, at the Ubisoft app password field on the login prompt. These are both present on MSI MPG321URX and ASUS PG32UCDM even with the latest firmware updates. Gigabyte FO32U2P has flickering but no stuck pixel on the Ubisoft password field for their app.
Great information! Thank you TFTCentral, for your work on these matters. Yet another reason for me to like MSI! Now if we could just get their software to stop wanting to collect our personal info...
Has anyone tried adding a polarizer on top of the QD-Oled? will this solve the problem of purple black in ambient light ?
I'm still getting bad VRR flicker in loading screens on games. Also according to the black level test on lagom, the black levels are too dark on every picture mode except Game/Pro User with HDR enabled. There is slight temporal dithering on greys which you can also see on the Lagom black level test. Finally when changing the HDR brightness in windows labled "SDR content brightness" it does seem to inaccurately display white levels with each brightness tick.
In my testing HDR enabled, True Black 400, and Pro User has the most accurate black levels at the cost of temporal dithering while Display P3 has the most accurate color when using HDR at the cost of black levels. Those calibrations would be perfect imo if they could fix the temporal dithering and VRR flicker in the next FW update.
I play a lot of dark games like Dead by Daylight so black levels are an important and often overlooked issue. The screens pretty much unusable for me without HDR because the Night Mode and AI Vision messes with the colors too much and makes the screen look washed out. I almost returned it until I found the above calibration.
Overall I'm pretty happy with this monitor. Its very versatile for a wide range of games and scenarios!
Did firmware updates drop for the MAG versions?
Details here tftcentral.co.uk/articles/msi-bring-firmware-update-support-to-the-mag-series-27-and-32-qd-oled-monitors
Hello again ^^ sorry for the specificity of this question but for a dual monitor setup (one gaming, one having shows/sports/streams/CZcams or displaying chats and OBS, what would you recommend?
One thing I faced. I got a 4090 and using all display port to triple 48GQ900. Left the hdmi port free to use. But after I use a high quality hdmi2.1 which can support 8k 120hz, the Nvidia setting freaks out. It still shown my surround setting which 11520x2160 with 138hz. But my MAG271QX can’t work. It turn off and my display setting always shown this monitor inactive, I can’t active it by clicking in the display setting for unknown reason, even though I click “extend desktop to this display” multiple times. I did update the firmware to the latest FW012 and I can’t see the option of DSC. I also update the monitor driver provided from MSI website. Now I am stuck. 😢 pls help
We should get an update to be able to change gamma settings.
Hey. Is there any chance you're going to review the new g60sd Samsung? Struggling to find reliable info about it and in my country (UK) there's some great offers that expire in just a few days
No current plans I’m afraid. May review their 32” G80SD though
Great video TFT! I would like to know if there will be Samsung OLED 480hz screens in the near future, at least one roadmap of the same to see if it is worth waiting for. The bright screen catches my attention, and LG's saturated price (U$1200) discourages. Do you believe that in January (1 year after the launch of the 360hz qd-oled) it can come?
It’s very possible as they’ll want to keep up and compete but we’ve not had any official information on it so far so we can’t be certain. Glad you enjoyed the video 😀
Simon, would it be possible to start including 120hz input lag in your reviews as well? Seems like it would be important for anyone wanting to hook a console up to a monitor. I do not have one, but I assume the PS5 and Xbox Series X run in 120hz mode and use VRR (if enabled) to cap down at 60/30fps instead of setting the display itself to 60hz.
Also, I recently went down the rabbit hole on 60hz input lag because I was confused about when (if at all) it mattered on PC. You clarify that when VRR is enabled, you will get the 240hz input lag... I'm glad you clarify this because I did not realize this previously... HOWEVER, some games actually do force your monitor to run at 60hz when playing in fullscreen mode, giving you significantly worse input lag. The prime example of this is any game by Fromsoftware, like Elden Ring. There are a few janky ways around this that I won't get into (I can elaborate further if anyone wants to know), but at the end of the day none of them are perfect solutions and it is just flat out more enjoyable to play Fromsoftware games on my 65" LG C2 as opposed to my PG32UCDM solely because of input lag. I never thought that an additional 10ms would be noticeable, but it is shockingly noticeable.
Anyways, would it be possible to express to your contacts at MSI and ASUS that they need to address 60hz and 120hz input lag? I don't see why it can't be the same sub 1ms that is there at the max refresh rate, especially when you consider the price tag of these monitors and the fact that most other monitors do not have this issue -- perhaps they could try to implement something akin to LG's "Boost" input lag mode on their TVs, where the monitor performs frame doubling (or in the case of 240hz, what would be frame quadrupling) to get very similar input lag compared to max refresh rate. I understand that the scaler for these QD-OLEDs provided by Samsung display is probably limited in what can be modified by the monitor manufacturer, but we've seen with the PG32UCDM that they are able to provide additional features that others have not, so I would find it hard to believe they are unable to fix the input lag -- my guess is they just didn't see it as an actual issue, but it is.
I’ll look in to whether we can include 120Hz results in the future as well. I know MSI and Asus are aware of the challenges with increased lag at lower refresh rates but this seems to be a pattern across all monitors really (those with a natively higher refresh rate anyway) so it may be challenging to address
I finally managed to snag a 321URX from that last batch of stock. Just got the shipping confirmation today. I'm really excited 😁👍
Stock where?
i’m confused I have this monitor and using HDMI 2.1 with the latest update with 4080. on display setting I have it set to 360hz this with my second monitor oled g9 240hz. so even tho it’s set to 360hz my games are not running that with DSC on?? and will require to create custom res just to get 360hz with these monitor??
Unless you’ve disabled DSC from the monitor OSD, it will be running with that enabled. You wouldn’t have been able to select 360Hz otherwise either. Sounds like you’ve got it set up correctly as far as I can tell
271QRX has trouble switching sources. Connected to the PC via DP 1.4a (rtx 3080) and LG CX via HDMI 2.1. Monitor switching from stand by which is also very slow (3 sec minimum). I have been able to freeze the whole PC switching from primary to secondary screen ( no display out caps lock not responding). Latest firmware.
When will 4k 360Hz be a thing? Should be possible with DSC and DP2.1a (DP80). I think that would be much better compared to the dual mode screens.
Sure it will come at some point but until graphics cards and DisplayPort 2.1 have matured, it will likely be a while
Great video, thank you!
you recommend using hdmi for the 27 inch? at 240 hz with disabled dsc or dsc on at 360hz?
Always better to leave DSC on and push the max refresh rate and settings. Only need to turn that off if you specifically want to use a feature, or have a bug, which isn’t available in DSC mode
any news about 1440p 480hz w-oled?
I believe the panel is now in mass production but I’d still predict Aug/sept for product availability
@@tftcentral thx very much
great video. ty . i assume everyone is using a dp cable with their monitor , i am using the hmi cable that came with the monitor and am wondering if i really need dp to update as it is said. ?
Great and informative video. Thanks
I would love it if you can recommend settings for the MSI G274QPX model too. :D
Thanks for great video! Which of the latest QD Oleds are the brightest and most colorful for HDR? I had the Asus PG32UCDM and the HDR was so lacklustered, it was too dim in bright scenes.
The Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P would be your best bet. See here tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/gigabyte-aorus-fo32u2p
How about VRR Flicker? Does new firmware fix it?
It’s discussed in the video
Ty very much!
I don't quite understand, Displayport 1.4a should be enough for 1440p/360hz? The monitor only supports 1.4a 🤔
It can support 1440p at 360Hz fine (the MPG 271), but you need to have DSC enabled for that
@@tftcentral Oh OK, then I misunderstood. Thanks for the clarification 💪🏻
@@tftcentral But without DSC are you sure it's only 120hz for 1440p ? Shouldn't be it 240hz ?
Hey Simon, what's your take on ppi 4k 32 inch vs 27 2k inch? I've been using 4k for some years now and I'm afraid I'll notice in games the difference? is it really noticeable when it comes to oleds?
I think if you’re used to the density of a 4K monitor, you’ll find it a step backwards if you move to something like a 1440p 27”. Add to that the potential text clarity issues you might notice due to the OLED pixel structure and I think you’d be much safer looking for a 32” 4K model
Has MSI discussed anything with you about the 321UPX model getting firmware updates? Monitors unboxed did a video claiming MSI said they are working on bringing firmware updates to that model as well.
We are aware of what Monitors Unboxed discussed at Computex and this is actually something we suggested to MSI a couple of months back. Waiting on official info and details before we report on the situation either way 😀
Thank you for this video
Did the MSI MPG 341CQPX have the new sub pixel layout? Did you get any news about that?
Info here. Full review coming soon too
tftcentral.co.uk/news/an-update-and-correction-for-the-new-34-ultrawide-240hz-qd-oled-panel
Unfortunately bad news
Thanks for your article.
Did you know an IPS black version in 34"? I would like to buy an ultra-wide, but for gaming and software development too. So text clarity would be important for me. Unless it is with the new pixel structure layout, I will instantly buy it. And my RTX3070 cannot handle a 32" 4k 😅
@darktrouvus1 there’s the Dell UltraSharp UW3423WE
Any others got problems aswell if you enable VRR/G-SYNC that some games like RDR2 start within a black screen when launching the game? I got the MPG 321urx and am on current firmware. This issue is pretty annoying, since the only solution for me is to turn off VRR completly. Setting up a ruleset in nvidia control panel to not enable GSYNC for games with this problem, does not work. You have to turn it off in the OSD which is annoying.
Try to DDU you drivers. I had that problem with another 4k144hz monitor as well. That solved it for me.
It’s a problem across vrr monitors
my MPG271qrx keeps going into green blue red white colors if i tab out of games or sometimes even move my window from one screen to another does anyone know how to fix this?
Strange. I assume you’ve updated to latest firmware? I’d maybe try another cable, or a different connection if your graphics card has both DP and HDMI 2.1
Hey Simon!
Shouldn't DP1.4 be able to output 1440p 10bit up to 200Hz with DSC turned off? I mean, that's a 25.12 Gbps requirement for a 25.92 Gbps HBR3 bandwidth.
I wonder this as well
Oh, these news got me excited, but what a disappointment on that input lag figure at 60 Hz for the 32 inch model. I found it strange at the time and was doubtful, but retained some hope still. It was too good to be true, after all.
Anyways, good for MSI on commiting to softeare improvements and optimisation on their products.
And, of course, huge thanks to you for all your amazing work helping consumers get informed and prompting manufacturers to put up some good work to an invaluable benefit to everyone! 🙏🏻
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Great content and I am happy Msi listen and try to improve. Hope they continue this. We need more quality on the producer side of Gaming Equipment. The lost of evga as a gpu manufacturer with the warranty for 7-10 years was a big lost. Let’s hope Msi will develop his kpi in the customer service department to separate itself from f.e. Asus who try to foul his customer in service and rma
Hello TFTCentral! I wanted to ask, I haven't moved into buying an OLED monitor because I'm looking for a pure-black monitor that doesn't tint (looking at LG panels due to the purple-tint), since I do color-sensitive work in well-lit rooms, and that is ideally, but not necessarily, glossy. Do you know when a 32" might come out that supports LG's new RGWB pixel-layer array? I might aim for this one instead. Thank you for responding!
EDIT: I noticed ASUS released a 27" glossy WOLED, but do you know if they'd be releasing a 32" glossy WOLED? That would be game-changer. Thank you!!!
There’s already a couple of monitors released or announced using the 32” WOLED panel with RGWB layout, but do you mean one with a glossy finish?
@@tftcentral Thank you for replying. Yes! Glossy finish, 32", WOLED with RGWB layout.
@azaeldrm no plans from LG Display at this stage to produce a natively glossy panel in that size, but it could happen later on if their 27” option is popular. I wouldn’t rule it out. In the mean time Dough are going to launch a gorilla glass coated version of that very panel with their Spectrum Black 32”, so maybe worth looking in to as an option
@@tftcentral Perfect. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
should I turn on adaptive sync on the monitor setting? or leave it off and have g-sync enabled in nvdia settings? or have it enabled with adaptive sync on?
Gsync would only work and be available if you have adaptive sync enabled in the OSD as well
a new firmware version 0.011 released. Please review it. Any HDR 1000 dimming issue fixes that?
That’s not listed in the change log I’m afraid
@@tftcentral why MSI couldn't solve it? While other manufactures have already solved. As a MSI consumer it's very unfortunate for us.
@shahriarrony9528 well I wouldn’t say anyone has “solved it”. Asus released an update that includes a brighter HDR mode option which behaves like Gigabytes model. But these are brighter at the expense of accuracy. I’d expect MSI to be able to do something similar and I am told they are working on the issue but it’s presumably not ready yet
@@tftcentral thanks for the update. Now nothing to do but to wait.
I second that. Please review the latency claims.
Will there be a firmware update for the lg dual mode monitor?
No idea I’m afraid
A shame the MSI is only DisplayPort 1.4. That really limits it in some ways. That's the only major issue I have with it.
Will you cover the new Samsung Odyssey g80sd monitors?
Not sure at this stage I’m afraid
Which is better for competitive gaming Asus pg24qp or OLED 480hz ?
Would you still recommend this monitor for gaming and some productivity? I just don’t see how I can justify spending hundreds more on an Asus. I see it only has Adaptive Sync and it isn’t certified but that shouldn’t matter right?
Yeah they both support adaptive sync and the lack of certification is a minor concern i would say for a mainstream manufacturer like this. If you can get us substantially cheaper then it’s def a great option!
@@tftcentral Asus is $1299 and the MSI is $949 so big difference. It looks like it does have Freesync Premium Pro so I should be fine with my 4080 I think. My worry is burn in. I was going to use it as a daily driver for work and gaming but after watching Monitors Unboxed deliberate burn in videos with this monitor, I might use it strictly as a gaming monitor. It seems everyone has very different experiences with burn in.
@Junga1234 don’t worry about VRR, the support should be the same from both. MSI just haven’t sent theirs through nvidias process. That cost saving is a no brainer. With burn in, I wouldn’t worry about some work, you just need to be mindful of prolonged static elements. There’s lots of mitigation features on the MSI to enable, and it has a 3 yr burn in warranty too 😀
@@tftcentral well…here goes nothing…ordered!
@Junga1234 let us know how you get on!
I think I already have this update but this monitor is amazing for gaming and movies
The firmware has to be downloaded manually? Which year is it? 2004?
It’s not that difficult 😉
You mean connect monitor to the internet? Its like, +WiFi module, +OS for antivirus and firewall protection? How much do you want to spend on monitor? 3-4k$?
@@monolith757 No, I meant having an app do the downloading.
@@FiveFiveZeroTwoyou get what you pay for. Another bloatware to consume system resources.
I wonder if it will be do-able from Linux or thumb drive someday. For now i have a reason to keep a Windows 10 machine around. Solid warranty, good US pricing, and nice hardware makes that 32" tempting. Disabling the power led is great! Does VRR at all show up if i just want to try and focus on locked 120hz? Id expect not. I ask as i want to get an oled, but i do suffer from Simulation Sickness and some of the stuff i find to help is smooth, no taring, and I'd expect flicker would be painful
If you disable adaptive sync and use a fixed refresh rate there won’t be any flicker :)
@@tftcentral Thanks for confirming this!
Is it necesarry to use display port for update? Or enoght with HDMI 2.0 ?
The guidance from MSI says to use DisplayPort so I wouldn’t like to recommend anything else tbh
I also got die 27" monitor and installed that firmware update.. but I got a problem - when DSC is disabled in monitor, the screen gets black for a second and switches back to normal. This happens at irregular intervals and I have this every minutes. When activating DSC again in screen menu, problem is gone. Any tips?
I’d probably try a different cable first off. Or lower your refresh rate a little as it could be an issue with pushing the limits of DSC-off
I hope so it will come msi mag 341cqp as well .
It's very annoying hdmi 4k 120hz forcing to use it on some games
You are The man ;0
Still haven't fixed the hdr 1000 being dim compared to hdr 400. Asus has fixed this on their model so I'd skip these models and go asus
Yes, Asus has made its monitor MUCH better than msi with its latest update; not just much better, but now it's not even a question of what to choose. of course, Asus. And msi did a very bad thing with the darkness of the hdr1000, giving, I'm sure, an improvement to Asus by agreement. they agreed. I bought an msi although could buy absolutely any monitor from me. I will never choose anything from msi again. I feel like I was just tricked for my own money. bought an msi - msi itself will make it clear to you that you are not a first-class, second-class person. unpleasant.
Has there been any news about the 2025 OLED panels from both Samsung and LG? apart from the videos uploaded a few months ago.
Nothing more recent I’m afraid. Hoping for some Samsung news soon
@@tftcentral thx very much
I have an older pc with a 1080ti and i cant figure out how to get 240hz on hdmi (only shows 60hz or 120hz), anyone help? Also i dont get an option for 10 bit, only 6 or 8
I’m afraid your graphics card is too old. It doesn’t have HDMI 2.1, that only got introduced from the RTX 3000 series onwards. So you won’t be able to reach any more than you’re seeing
@@tftcentral appreciate the reply :)
how do you apply the best setting config? file
Dissapointed with 321urx - too dim. Very bright for small percentage of screen area, but if you have a pdf with lots of whites the screen dims down like crazy in brightness, to a degree where it is annoying. It is like as if you where going from 80% brightness on a normal screen, and down to 15% just because a larger amount of the screen needs to be bright.
The simple solution to that is to not use HDR mode for that kind of content. You should only enable HDR when viewing actual HDR content. In SDR operation the screen has uniform brightness at all window sizes so you’d never see dimming as you change content or window sizes 😀
@@tftcentral Thanks! Sorry for not knowing this - i thought the panel always reducing brightness regardless of HDR/SDR, but now I know better
Thanks for the best CZcams content about monitors /from sweden.
@droneforfun5384 no worries, glad to help clear it up 😀
can someone clarify cause im a total noob when it comes to this stuff.
Is it not possible to make use of the 240hz on the 4k display with either display port 1.4 or hdmi 2.1 ?
It absolutely is possible, but will require you to leave DSC enabled on the monitor. That’s a visually lossless compression technique that supports 4K 240Hz over both those connections. Obv you will also need a modern graphics card capable of supporting all this too
@@tftcentral i have a 4070ti ...i was worried for a sec since I bought the msi 32". Thanks a lot :)
@phatape yeah you’ll be fine! Enjoy 😀
So I play Pubg exclusively with a 4090
Would this be the best glossy Oled to buy

Overall the monitor has been great, even with the latest 010 firmware. I particularly liked how it goes back to standby or on after the panel protect kicks in. However, a few issues I've noticed, the VRR flicker is still there on certain games. Especially Jedi Survivor in the loading and menus. Most of the game is fine but when you pause the game it'll flicker a bit, maybe it was reduced but its still there. If you turn off G-Sync it goes away completely but you'll be at that 90-100fps at 240Hz. Another thing that hasn't been resolved is the panel protect where even if you leave the monitor on in standby the entire night/day it will still kick in once it hits its internal 16 hour timer. I know when I'm getting ready for work at around 6AM, even if I use the monitor for say 10-15 minutes then leave it on standby the entire day say 8-9 hours. Come back home and while you're doing something the menu for 16 hours pops up saying its mandatory and/or I use it for a few hours after work then I come back with a full 8 minute or so pixel cleaning. I don't know how it is for the other panels but LG doesn't have this issue so they're doing something right there. So yes I have caught the popup and/or forced panel protect in the most inconvenient times and its funny my second monitor would still be on while this one is flashing on stand by. Overall if they can fix these issues it'll be one more step closer to a better monitor.
I did the firmware update still had bad black flickering while in HDR I returned and kept the gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P no issues at all
FO32U2P had bad flickering in my experience too on Nvidia 4090. One thing good about it though is that there is no stuck pixel on the Ubisoft app login password field which is present on mpg321urx & pg32ucdm
Maybe because you didn't activate the VRR on the Aorus ? Or did you enable VRR on both of them and the issue is only happening on MSI ?
@@ceuser3555 I'm running a 4090 also didn't have that issue with the AORUS FO32U2P HDR looked great to was just hoping to save extra money by going with MSI MPG 321URX
Dear Author! dear friends! Hi. I have this monitor. Please pay attention to important things that for some reason no one is talking about (the first one is VERY important):
1. If you look at the screen of this monitor directly, as usual, the colors are not very strong, but noticeably dimmer than if viewed from angles. This is very important and annoying, because when you approach the monitor, the colors are brighter and when you sit down at it, they get darker. This is probably a flaw in the matrix that can hardly be fixed programmatically.
On the first point: I consider this unacceptable for a monitor in this price category. He's not worth his money.
2. Night vision in the AI position - in games with a top view (Dota 2 for example) - especially if you move the camera away with the mouse wheel on the replay - when you move the screen, light vertical stripes moving in the direction of the screen movement are clearly visible.
3. Indeed, the HDR 1000 greatly reduces the overall brightness to an unacceptable level.
Good luck to everyone
Any updates on a LGs 45” 5120 by 2160 oled?
Not yet
Can someone tell me if i can do the update with the hdmi cable that came with the monitor ? ty
Not according to the MSI instructions but you could try it. If you have the USB cable connected I imagine it will tell you if it won’t allow it. But we couldn’t recommend going against their instructions tbh
@@tftcentral ty i find it weird that mine came with only hdmi and you need dp to update. :/
I dont know whats wrong with the link but its loading like and not giving me to download the firmware, besides that i didnt get the usb cable in the box :D
try going to their product page separately and see if you can get to it that way
@@tftcentral yeah it worked, but i dont see the usb connection on my monitor am i triping or what? only got 2 hdmis dp and usb c
@PulzeWZ have you got the MAG model?!
yes i got this exact model MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED 27" 16:9, QD-OLED Gaming Monitor, 360Hz 0.03ms, 2560 x 1440 (WQHD), Height Adjustable Arm
@PulzeWZ ok I’m afraid the MAG series models don’t support firmware updates at this time. This video only applies to the MPG series
Gigabyte slacking
They started support for firmware updates on the M AG series, but they didn't include all of the same capabilities like 24 inch screen size. msi are idiots
Its laughable the monitor cant run 240hz 8 or 10 bit in 1440p with DP.
Wouldnt that require dp 2.0 or 2.1
horrible looking monitors stand. this alone is a no go for me, looking for a pg32ucdm. the price is okay i guess.
I love how MPG321URX does not need a power brick and the plug connects directly to the monitor.
