MSI has been active in launching new monitors throughout the summer months, including models like the MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 and the MPG 346CQRF X24, which is currently priced at $410 on Amazon. Recently, they have introduced another QD-OLED monitor that features Samsung Display’s slower Gen 3 panel.

Monitor Specifications

The newly announced MAG 322UP QD-OLED E16 operates natively at 4K resolution and boasts a refresh rate of 165 Hz, similar to its predecessor, the MAG 321UP. A closer look at the specifications of both models shows that there are no significant differences between them. For transparency, we’ve included the datasheets for both monitors below. According to the datasheet, MSI asserts that the MAG 322UP QD-OLED E16 can reach brightness levels of up to 250 nits in SDR mode and can achieve peak HDR brightness of 1,000 nits in small areas (3% APL).

Performance Features

In addition, this monitor features an impressive 0.03 ms GtG response time and is supported by AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology for dynamic refresh rates. It comes with an adjustable stand along with four video input ports. At present, the MAG 322UP QD-OLED E16 is being sold in Taiwan for TWD 26,900 (approximately $876) and in the UK for £898.99 (around $1,202). Since the MAG 321UP has been available in the US for more than a year, it remains unclear if the MAG 322UP QD-OLED E16 will be launched in North America anytime soon.
