MSI plans to expand its QD-OLED gaming monitor lineup in 2024 with the addition of six new models ranging from 27″ to 49″. At the top of the stack are two ultrawide offerings with an 1800R curvature. Both the MAG 341CQP QD-OLED and MPG 491CQP QD-OLED feature 144 Hz panels that are VESA-certified DisplayHDR True Black 400 and ClearMR 9000. Both also include HDMI 2.1 ports supporting up to 48 Gbps/ 120 Hz, including VRR and ALLM, and a USB Type-C port. MSI has said it plans to launch both models on January 6.
Next up are its Flat panel displays which include two 32″ 4K models with a refresh rate of 240 Hz and two 27″ WQHD with a refresh rate of 360 Hz. These flat-panel displays also include USB Type-C ports that provide up to 90W PD. All six displays include MSI’s upgraded OLED Care 2.0 to reduce panel damage/burn-in, fan-less design, a response time of 0.03ms GTG, and console mode features. As MSI plans to expand its QD-OLED gaming monitor lineup, it has also announced that it will reveal more at CES 2024.

Press Release (via official page):
MSI, the world’s leading manufacturer of true gaming hardware, is proudly expanding our QD-OLED gaming monitor lineup. OLED panels have become the mainstream choice for high-end gaming in recent years. To stay at the forefront of gaming monitors, we’re proud to announce our new lineup of QD-OLED monitors.
All models will be equipped with the latest generation of QD-OLED panels and will be available in both curved and flat models. We’ve done extensive research and design to ensure exceptional picture quality through precise pixel lighting control and true black scenes.
We’ve also upgraded MSI OLED Care 2.0, enhancing screen protection optimization to reduce the risk of OLED panel damage during extended use. The fan-less design harnesses graphene’s exceptional thermal conductivity, which allows for efficient and silent heat dispersion. This further extends the lifespan of these innovative QD-OLED panels.
A Feast for Your Eyes – MSI Unveils QD-OLED Technology
Leading the way are two outstanding curved models, the MAG 341CQP QD-OLED and the MPG 491CQP QD-OLED. Both models come standard with 0.03ms GTG response time and 144Hz refresh rate. The MAG 341CQP QD-OLED is equipped with a 34” UWQHD QD-OLED 1800R curved panel while the MPG 491CQP QD-OLED is equipped with a 49” DQHD QD-OLED 1800R curved panel.
Both models also feature a variety of other core elements. VESA certification for ClearMR 9000 and DisplayHDR True Black 400 ensures that gamers receive exceptionally vivid images while also mitigating the effects in motion blur visuals. OLED Care 2.0 enhances care services and significantly reduce the chances of OLED burn-in. Finally, MSI Gaming Intelligence (G.I.) powered by AI technology, enhances gaming experience and offers features like Smart Crosshair, Night Vision AI, Optix Scope, and more.
For console gamers, we offer HDMI 2.1 ports with full 48Gbps bandwidth, support for 120Hz, VRR, and ALLM. MSI Console mode incorporates CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), allowing users to control their devices with a single controller. We also provide Type-C functionality to enhance connectivity with mobile devices.
Introducing 4K/2K Resolution Flat QD-OLED Monitors
For flat panel models that gamers have been eagerly anticipating, we’ve prepared a variety of models, ranging from 27” WQHD to 32” WUHD models that have refresh rates of up to 360Hz. Our new QD-OLED flat displays significantly enhance the visuals performance for AAA games, especially those of the FPS genre. All products come with MSI OLED Care 2.0, featuring the latest fan-less design to extend the lifespan of OLED panels. These models also come with a variety of features such as MSI Gaming Intelligence, 90W Type-C PD connectivity, and MSI Console Mode.
As MSI plans to expand its QD-OLED gaming monitor lineup it did not include mention of what type of DisplayPort would be used with any of these displays. The display industry is still transitioning from version 1.4 to 2.0 so it could be either.
