The MSI MEG 342C is the company's latest high-end gaming monitor with a 34-inch QD-OLED panel (made by Samsung Display), UWQHD resolution (3,440 x 1,440 pixels), a 21:9 aspect ratio, 1800R curvature, a 175Hz refresh rate, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 rating, HDR support, and 1,000 nits peak brightness. The ultrawide gaming monitor features a built-in microphone, ambient light sensor, and RGB light bar on the front.
Thanks to the QD-OLED technology, the monitor supports 100% color volume, 0.03ms response time (grey-to-grey), perfect blacks, and less blue light emission for improved eye safety. It supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro for tear-free and smooth gaming and features an anti-glare coating. MSI is also claiming the color accuracy of ΔE≤2 and a wide color gamut.
To those who worry about screen burn-in in OLED panels, MSI OLED Care software offers several features to reduce OLED screen aging. The monitor has a USB Type-C port with 65W USB PD charging output to connected devices. It has a USB 3.2 Gen 2 hub with two USB Type-A downstream ports. It also features two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4a port, and a 3.5mm headphone+mic combo port. It will go on sale in the second half of this year.
