Pros and cons

According to our monitor expert

Enjoy sharp images thanks to the Quad HD resolution.
See more of the playing field or use multiple windows at the same time on the wide ultrawide screen.
With a 180Hz refresh rate, you can play fast-paced games smoothly.
An ultrawide monitor takes up a lot of space, so your desk needs to be large enough.
To get the maximum refresh rate of 180 hertz, you can connect the monitor with DisplayPort.

The MSI MPG 341CQP delivers brilliant QD-OLED colors, lightning-fast response times, smooth 175 Hz gaming, and an immersive ultrawide experience. It's also incredibly affordable. Highly recommended.

Beautiful screen with QD-OLED problems

Beautiful colors
Instant response times
Burn-in care
Text fringing

Long doubted to make the switch to an ultrawide screen, but that switch was less of a problem than first thought. Very immersive. If you come from an IPS panel, you will notice that there is text fringing on this panel due to the structure of the oleds. This can be partly solved by installing mactype, but not completely. For gaming, this screen is almost perfect, depending on which game and whether it has ultrawide support. It is therefore possible that some games have black bars in menus. MSI has put a lot of Burn-In prevention in the monitor, sometimes you see a pixel shift when you are looking at text, but this is not noticeable during gaming. After every 4 hours of use, the screen performs a burn in care when switching off the screen. You can see this because the status LED flashes orange, this takes about 5 minutes. You have to take this into account if you, for example, shut down your entire setup using a power strip with an on/off button.
