MSI reveals new 32-inch QD-OLED 4K monitor with DisplayPort 2.1

MSI is updating its 32-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor lineup with the new MPG 322URX. While it might not be a revolutionary upgrade over this year's MPG 321URX, it brings one crucial improvement: full-fledged DisplayPort 2.1 connectivity.

The MPG 322URX retains the same 32-inch QD-OLED panel with a rapid refresh rate and vibrant colours. However, MSI has finally addressed one of 321URX's main shortcomings by incorporating a DisplayPort 2.1 connection with the full UHBR20 specification (80 Gbps). This is a significant upgrade, as many monitors released this year with the “DisplayPort 2.1” label only supported the lower bandwidth UHBR10 or UHBR13.5 modes.

Another welcome addition is the increased power delivery via the USB Type-C port (DP alt. mode), bumped up to 98W from 90W. Moreover, there are two HDMI 2.1 ports, an earphone-out jack, and two USB-A 3.2 ports. In addition to the new features, you can expect a QD-OLED panel with 4K resolution, 10-bit colour depth, and a 240Hz refresh rate. The monitor is DisplayHDR True Black 400, offering 450 nits of typical brightness in HDR mode (peaking at 1,000 nits) and a contrast ratio rated at 1500000:1.

As with most high-end monitors nowadays, the 322URX comes with a HAS stand with tilt, swivel, and pivot capabilities. The MPG 322URX is listed on MSI's official Chinese store for 8,499 RMB (around £930), 30% more than its predecessor.

KitGuru says: Assuming a similar 30% price increase, the new MPG 322URX may be released at around £1,500. Considering its minor improvements, that seems a bit too steep.
