MSI MAG 322URX QD-OLED Review

Introduction and Technical Specifications

Introduction

OLED panels generally make us thrilled and frightened in equal measure. As a television it’s clear that the image quality is almost unmatched. If you’re fortunate enough to have one, and a high quality image source, you’ll know what we mean. Colours pop, blacks are darker than the hearts of presidents, and peak brightness is enough to make you squint.

Of course televisions have the benefit that they circumvent the biggest problems with OLED panels. Namely, burn in. Leave something on the screen for too long and a ghost of it will always be there. Thankfully on a TV pictures change all the time. So much so that even if you’re watching a days cricket it’s not bad enough to leave an imprint. Computers aren’t like that though. If you happen to be reading this on your desktop then stop and take a look. We would wager you definitely have the taskbar visible at the bottom. Maybe your desktop wallpaper can be seen on the outside of your browser. Certainly you’ve got an icon or two, even if it’s just the recycle bin. Those things are always there, waiting to leave an indelible impression on your screen.

MSI OLED Care 2.0

We mentioned this because stopping this phenomenon is where the vast majority of resources have been focused. Without question the two biggest advanced in this field are auto-dimming and pixel shifting. Auto-dimming spots things like channel logos and mutes their palette. Pixel shifting does what it sounds like, stopping pixels getting stuck on one colour. So successful have these technologies proven that now a huge array of OLED panels are available for computers.

We’ve already reviewed a fair few. MSI are at the forefront of this display revolution with a lot of options for glorious eye-candy. The 322URX is the latest model, and the one we’ve got in the office today. Let’s take a look.
