Pros & Cons
Pros
- Exceptional Picture Quality: The QD-OLED panel provides deep, inky blacks, vibrant colors, and high contrast that significantly outperforms IPS and VA panels. The glossy coating is frequently praised for making the image 'pop' and maintaining superior clarity in dark rooms.
- High-End Gaming Performance: With a 4K resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate, the monitor offers incredible motion clarity and responsiveness. Users report a 'buttery smooth' experience with near-instant response times that are ideal for both competitive and immersive single-player games.
- Competitive Pricing and Value: It is widely regarded as one of the most affordable 4K 240Hz OLED monitors on the market. Reviewers noted it provides the same high-quality Samsung panel as much more expensive competitors, making it a 'steal' for the specs provided.
Cons
- Intrusive OLED Care Maintenance: The 'Panel Protect' feature frequently interrupts users with un-dismissible pop-ups or forced shutdowns during active gaming or work sessions. Users report that the monitor remains unusable for 7-15 minutes during the cycle and often fails to turn back on automatically afterward.
- Limited Connectivity and Features: Compared to the URX model, this version lacks a KVM switch and only provides 15W power delivery over USB-C, which is insufficient for charging most laptops. Some users also found the power cord to be too short and the joystick controls on the back difficult to navigate by feel.
- Fragile Build and Slow Wake-up: The screen coating is reported to be extremely fragile and prone to micro-scratches even when cleaned with a microfiber cloth. Additionally, the monitor has a notably slow wake-up time from sleep mode, often taking 5-10 seconds to display an image.

Incredible! Doesn't need firmware out of box!
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product. Incentivized Incentivized review: The reviewer received a benefit for sharing feedback.milesk182 April 13, 2024Review source: BestbuyI would love to have the MPG model but more for the cosmetic aluminum chin and the AI features, and the firmware is a bonus, of course, but to be honest, this monitor doesnt need a firmware update. It works percect out of the box like 99% of monitors should. It’s bright, its rich, its colorful and looks absolutely stunning. Im coming from an ultrawide oled, and this is replacing it. Im so happy qith my purchase. The DSC issue is fornsure a problem with DP1.4, but i used the extra tv plugged in trick i leaked from others with the alienware 32-inch model to get around it. You can set your custom resolutions on the tv secondary and it will save and you can select those resolutions on the msi and disconnect the tv. They save and you dont have to do this again. I was able to set up a 3840×1600 ultrawide resolutions as well as the custom 27inch and 24 inch that the asus oled feature has giving me the aspect control mode for a 1300 monitor but at $850. This thing is just incredible!

Picture quality is amazing
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product. Incentivized Incentivized review: The reviewer received a benefit for sharing feedback.birdhunter14 April 12, 2024Review source: BestbuyI enjoy this monitor more than I originally thought. 32 inches really is a good size to do content creation work on and the color accuracy of this monitor is amazing for video editing. I love its sleek understated look, because I really do hate monitors that scream gaming. It has excellent brightness and perfect viewing angles since it is oled. I also really enjoy that it is not matte so it doesn’t affect the content being displayed or cause any sort of image degradation. The stand has great adjustability and really is sleek being all black without lights and large branding. You cannot go wrong with this monitor as it is the cheapest of the new 4k qd-oled monitors.

Wait for the MPG 321 URX
Rondon Ramlal April 7, 2024Review source: AmazonThe MPG 321 URX is a 32 inch qd-oled monitor that offers many advantages over this version for just $50 more. KVM, 90 W power delivery over USB-C and firmware updates. If you don’t really care bout those things, then go with this one, otherwise it may just be a few weeks wait.

Great monitor!
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product. Incentivized Incentivized review: The reviewer received a benefit for sharing feedback.CamB April 6, 2024Review source: BestbuyThis screen and OLED panel is undoubtedly the best I have seen in awhile, however I will say the no firmware updates are a little upsetting. Havent had an issue with the monitor yet.
240Hz and 4K are the best of the best, I would definitely recommend this monitor IF you can get it on a sale.
I would recommend paying the $50 extra to get firmware updates.

Never Going back

No bios update
Toni G. April 6, 2024Review source: AmazonIf you get the mpg version it’s a good monitor but the mag version has no bios update n will have issues that won’t ever get fixed. Stay away from this model n spend $50 more on the version that will support updates.

The Ultimate Immersive Gaming Monitor – Elegant, Sleek, and Aesthetically Pleasing
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Dylan B. April 6, 2024Review source: AmazonThe standout feature of this monitor for me is its unmatched performance in gaming, video, and movie watching. The OLED display coupled with 4K resolution and 240Hz refresh rate delivers an immersive experience like no other. Games like Resident Evil Village come to life with unparalleled clarity and smoothness, surpassing my previous experience with an LG IPS monitor. The bright highlights and dark shadows just absolutely blew my mind upon seeing them. I’m exploring other HDR content as well, and I expect it to be nothing short of breathtaking.
I opted for this MSI monitor over competitors due to its superior design and functionality. Unlike other brands with bulky V-shaped stands, MSI’s square stand not only looks sleek but also conserves space on my desk, enhancing the overall aesthetics of my setup. Moreover, the minimalist all-black design is much nicer than the typical flashy gamer aesthetic, offering a more sophisticated look.
There are a few downsides as well. The Amazon web page says 90W USB C – but it is only 15W in reality. – I’m not sure if this is a fault of MSI or Amazon when configuring the web page, but I was not aware of this when I ordered it. Lack of firmware updates may raise concerns for those who value long-term support and optimization. I will add that I have not had any OSD/Software issues with this monitor so far, and have never had to update a monitor’s firmware in the past. Also the white LED on the bottom bezel indicating it is powered on can be a bit distracting at certain viewing angles, but as I sit above it and have the monitor on its lowest level, it isn’t visible very often.
Strengths
– Outstanding Design & Aesthetic
– Amazing Visual Fidelity
– Noiseless & Fanless Heatsink
– Highly Competitive PricingWeaknesses
– 15W USB-C (Not 90W as advertised on Amazon)
– No Firmware Updates
– White LED on Bottom Bezel is BrightOverall:
This monitor is the pick if want the latest in QD-OLED tech, or if you also want 4k @ 240HZ. For $900, it was worth every penny. Big fan of the aesthetic and design. No firmware updates should be a non-issue since it works perfectly out of the box. USB-C is only a concern if you want to plug a laptop into it to charge it. This being the cheapest of all the new 32″ OLED monitors is just the cherry on top for me.Images are a comparison between the LG 27GL850-B and the MSI MAG 321UPX.

Great monitor!
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product. Incentivized Incentivized review: The reviewer received a benefit for sharing feedback.Jaay April 6, 2024Review source: BestbuyAs of this review currently the cheapest 32 in 240hz QD Oled on the market. I enjoy the picture quality and HDR. It was a huge upgrade from an IPS display at 1440p. Two reasons why I gave it 4 stars is I believe there should just be one model with all the features to avoid confusion and split the difference on price at $925 and the cable management tray doesn’t hide the cables. Overall, I’m having a great time playing games on this display. I recommend watching TFT Central on Youtube for instructions on how to access the OSD features and user mode calibration.

Great oled at Great price
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product. Incentivized Incentivized review: The reviewer received a benefit for sharing feedback.RichardF April 5, 2024Review source: BestbuyPhenomenal monitor. I have a 32″ 4k ips next to it and crushes it in every way. I own multiple oled monitors and tvs and have never had a problem with burn in. Also comes at a great price compared to other similar monitors.
I can only think of 2 negatives. one is that you have to manually switch the color space settings every time you switch between hdr and sdr. the other is that this model is not capable of firmware updates, so theres no chance of the previous issue being fixed. not the biggest deal in the world, but can be annoying which is why it loses one star.
