MSI’s new 4K 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitors have “40% deeper blacks” and up to DisplayPort 2.1a support
Table of Contents
MSI has announced availability for the MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24 and MAG 321UP QD-OLED X24, but we’re still waiting for them to appear at major online U.S. retailers. The MAG model has at least been sighted on MSI’s Italian storefront for €899, though that is likely to be the cheaper of the two.
Nonetheless, as 31.5-inch 4K displays, it’s easy to imagine that these two will be some of the best gaming monitors released in 2026, offering up to DisplayPort 2.1a (native 4K 240Hz) and HDMI 2.1 (4K 240Hz with DSC) connectivity. Both use the same QD-OLED panel, but offer some contrast as far as exact specs & features go.
Specs list for MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24 & MAG 321UP QD-OLED X24
Both these gaming monitors are fitted with a 4th-gen QD-OLED panel from Samsung that uses Penta Tandem technology, a five-layer structure that increases light efficiency by 30%. MSI has also equipped them with its very own DarkArmor Film coating that promises to reduce purple tinting and deliver “40% deeper blacks and 2.5x better scratch resistance”.

As we mentioned earlier, we still don’t know just how much these 4K gaming monitors cost in the United States, but we imagine they won’t be cheap. The MAG 321UP QD-OLED X24 is available on the official MSI Italy store online for €899, VAT included, but the MPG 322UR is nowhere to be seen – they should start appearing globally soon enough, though.
