MSI MPG 341CQR QD‑OLED X36 34'' OLED Curved 360 Hz 0.03 ms

The MSI 341CQR X36 monitor has been great having used it for several days. The colours are accurate and the contrast fantastic. The additional refresh rate over my Alienware ultra wide is three times faster allowing me to stretch my graphics card on e-sport game in particular. I'd highly recommend the MSI monitor.

Brilliant monitor.

I do love the colours, the contrasts, the motion. I love watching movies as much as gaming on it. All the stuff in the adverts is true, its fantastic. But......... Is it worth spending a grand on a monitor? I'm not sure it is. Would i give it up, and go back to an IPS at half the price? No, i dont think i would. The price is shocking, but the panel is stunning.

One of the first 5th gen ultra wide OLEDs, had my on this for a while and so far have not been disappointed. Using it with my gaming pc via DP @ 320hz and laptop (via usb c) and all works great Really pleased.

The MSI MPG 341CQR X36 OLED ultrawide is an excellent monitor featuring the latest "5th gen" QD-OLED panel. Earlier QD-OLED panel generations can suffer from fringing around text and in my experience, dissatisfactory image quality, caused by the way the OLED pixels are laid out. This new QD-OLED panel uses a layout more similar to traditional LCD which means text is rendered with excellent clarity, and image quality is superb. With a refresh rate of up to 360Hz it feels incredibly fluid and responsive, whether in gaming or simply day-to-day use on the desktop where the 3440x1440 resolution gives you plenty of room to have applications open side-by-side, almost like having a dual display setup. The 341CQR also supports VRR and with a recent Nvidia driver update, is now also G-Sync compliant. When gaming, the monitor is bright and vivid with impressive HDR peak brightness while producing those trademark OLED deep blacks. Dark scenes and horror games feel so much more immersive without the glow of a backlight causing washed out blacks. This monitor also features a presence sensor, which can either be used standalone or integrated with Windows' own presence sensing features to enable the monitor to dim when you're not looking at it, turn off if you aren't in front of it and turn back on when you sit back down in front of it again. This is great for both saving energy and reducing any risks of burn-in. The monitor has various other features to mitigate burn-in including taskbar detection and icon detection which can be adjusted to your prefence. This combined with the reduced risk of burn-in from a modern OLED panel means I'm not concerned with any burn-in issues. The monitor's stand also deserves a mention, as some ultrawide displays have large, cumbersome stands that take up an unreasonable amount of desk space and push the display itself quite far forward towards you. The 341CQR X36 stand is a simple, flat metal design which feels very solid while occupying a very small footprint on your desk. This fits well with the overall design of the monitor which looks clean and professional without any obvious "gamer" flare unlike some other brands. There's some subtle RGB lighting on the back in the form of the MSI logo near the top, but it doesn't do much and isn't big or bright enough to even cast light on the wall behind, so it's fairly pointless. Given the price of this monitor, I'd have liked to see a larger RGB LED strip or similar. I sometimes work from home with a laptop, and the MSI MPG 341CQR X36 can be easily connected to it with a single USB-C cable which sends video output to the monitor while keeping the laptop charged. With a mouse and keyboard (or wireless dongles) connected to the monitor's USB-A ports these can be used with both my PC or laptop. Note however that you'll need a good quality, fast USB-C cable as one is unfortunately not included in the box, though you do get a DisplayPort and HDMI cable. This is an excellent display for both gaming and desktop use and for me at least, is a significant improvement over earlier QD-OLED panels. If your budget can stretch to it, I can highly recommend it.

This is it. The monitor we've all been waiting for. OLED beauty, without the poor text clarity and at a sensible size and gentle curve so it's perfectly good for the WFH user who likes to game in the evening and take advantage of OLED. A decent selection of ports, and a resolution that doesn't necessarily demand the latest most expensive graphics card. The design is subtle and sensible. I was tempted to rate it 4 stars because there are a few things that could be improved still, but this doesn't detract from the experience as it currently stands. Issues of note: AI brightness is a bit useless, it's far too sensitive and jumps up and down making it a bit useless. The side borders are a bit too large for 2026. Laptops have moved away from borders this since 10 years ago, so it's a bit dated looking already. The cable ports at the back are too low, meaning if you load up the ports with cables, they look a mess dangling down, so I've had to make a custom 3d printed tray to hide them. The rear 'mystic light' is a bit pointless, too dim to notice. These issues are all design choices of MSI, and don't really detract from the main selling points of this monitor though which is the superb screen
