As CES 2026 unfolds, MSI is making waves with its bold new offerings in the gaming monitor arena. Among its standout innovations is the MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36, leveraging the power of 5th Gen QD-OLED technology. This advancement promises to elevate gaming visuals to unprecedented levels.
MSI’s Game-Changing Display Technology
Samsung has recently started the mass production of its latest 360Hz V-Stripe QD-OLED panels, and MSI is one of the pioneering brands to incorporate this cutting-edge technology into its MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 gaming monitor. This 34-inch marvel boasts a WQHD resolution of 3440×1440, paired with a lightning-fast refresh rate of 360Hz and the advanced OLED Care 3.0 technology. The introduction of the 5th Gen QD-OLED panels marks a significant upgrade, featuring MSI’s exclusive DarkArmor Film for enhanced black levels and surface durability.
One of the key upgrades is the DarkArmor Film, which enhances black depth by 40% and bolsters surface hardness by 2.5 times, addressing the purple tint issue seen in previous generations. Alongside this, Samsung’s 5th Gen QD-OLED panel with its new V-Stripe pixel structure significantly sharpens text clarity, making it a perfect choice for professionals engaged in tasks demanding high visual precision.
The Future of Monitor Technology
The transition to an RGB Stripe sub-pixel arrangement in the 5th Gen QD-OLED technology promises to address longstanding OLED issues, delivering sharper text and cleaner lines. This tweak aligns more closely with traditional LCD panels and virtually eliminates previous concerns of color fringing and unclear lines.
MSI is also set to unveil its high-end Ultra-Wide gaming monitor, the MEG X QD-OLED, at CES 2026, boasting the same 5th Gen QD-OLED technology with AI-powered features. More details are anticipated at the event.
Additionally, MSI is refreshing its 32″ QD-OLED monitors, the MPG 322UR X24 and MAG 321UP X24, embracing the same improvements in black levels and brightness. Further announcements about these innovations will be shared in the days ahead.
