MSI unveils 32-inch QD-OLED monitors with next-gen upgrades

MSI promises deeper blacks and uniform luminance with its latest 4K QD-OLED monitors

Ahead of CES 2026, MSI has unveiled its new MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24 and MAG 321UP QD-OLED X24 gaming monitors. Both screens feature 32-inch displays, 4K resolution, and a 240Hz maximum refresh rate.

With these new models, MSI are using Samsung’s 5-layer Tandem OLED architecture with EL Gen 3 technology. Additionally, MSI has made several upgrades to its screens to deliver purer blacks and more uniform luminance.

Below, we can see the impact of MSI’s “DarkArmor” film. It enhances light absorption to eliminate distracting purple and reddish hues. MSI claims that this new film can improve pure black levels by 40%, increasing contrast. Additionally, this new screen surface increases MSI’s screen hardness from 2H to 3H. This delivers a 2.5x increase in scratch resistance.

Uniform Liminance, a must for desktop use

With uniform luminance, MSI allows users to adjust the HDR brightness curve to achieve uniform HDR luminance across certain display window sizes. This makes large bright areas of the screen more consistent. This prevents small bright windows from becoming eye-searingly bright.

For the most part, the MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24 and MAG 321UP QD-OLED X24 have the same feature set. Both use the same 5-layer tandem OLED panels, but only the MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24 has MSI’s AI Care Sensor. This NPU-based IC provides additional panel protections that help to prevent burn-in.

When users are not detected near the screen, the monitor manages its power states to protect the panel. This prevents unnecessary wear, which should help boost the screen’s longevity.
