Today we are back with another QD-OLED review, as we check out MSI's new 322UR X24. This is brand-new for 2026, featuring Samsung Display's 4th Gen Penta Tandem panel technology, alongside a 4K resolution and 240Hz refresh rate. It doesn't get the new RGB stripe sub-pixel layout we saw with the MSI MPG 341CQR X36 earlier in the year, but compared to previous 4K panels, it promises higher brightness, an improved coating to improve perceived black levels, as well as the AI Care Sensor that MSI debuted last year. Let's see if it's worth buying…

If you've not been keeping up with the latest QD-OLED news, Penta Tandem is essentially Samsung Display's new branding for what most people called ‘4th Gen QD-OLED', or panels using EL 3.0 material. The 27in 4K/240Hz MSI 272URX was the first of such displays that we reviewed back in 2025, but now Penta Tandem technology is rolling out to other panel sizes – including this 32in model from MSI.

We will be particularly interested to see how things stack up against MSI's MPG 321URX, given that was among the first QD-OLED screens to offer the 4K/240Hz combo when it hit shelves in early 2024, utilising 3rd Gen QD-OLED tech.

In terms of pricing, the MSI MPG 322UR X24 has an £849 MSRP, though at the time of writing it's listed for £799 on both OCUK and Scan.
