MPG 321CURX QD-OLED, the C stands for Curved
MSI is introducing a new gaming monitor at Gamescom, its curved 32-inch high-end gaming monitor.
MSI is expanding its 32-inch monitor lineup with a new curved version, tapping into the demand for curved QD-OLED displays. The new model shares the same specifications as its flat counterpart, but adds the experience of a 1700R curvature.
Recently, MSI introduced the MPG 341CQPX, a 34-inch ultrawide QD-OLED monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate, priced at €899. The new 32-inch model, MPG 321CURX, will be slightly more expensive and targets the popular 4K resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

The MPG 321CURX features a Samsung 31.5-inch panel, offering 99% DCI-P3 color coverage, 138% sRGB, and 98% Adobe RGB. It supports 10-bit color depth with a peak brightness of 250 nits in SDR mode. The monitor provides a 240Hz refresh rate and an ultra-fast 0.03 ms response time. It also includes a USB-C port capable of delivering up to 98 watts of power.
However, it lacks DisplayPort 2.1, offering only DisplayPort 1.4, which may require DSC (Display Stream Compression) in some scenarios. It does include dual HDMI 2.1 ports. The monitor is compatible with VESA ClearMR1300, supports MSI Gaming Intelligence software, and features KVM switching.
