MSI releases new all-bright HDR mode update for its QD-OLED gaming monitors but OLED's underlying limitations remain

MSI MPG 322URX monitor.

When testing MSI's QD-OLED monitors, such as the new MSI MPG 322URX, we've generally come away impressed, especially by the HDR performance. One catch has been that the two HDR modes those displays offer both come with clear compromises. But perhaps no longer, thanks to a new HDR mode MSI is releasing as an update.

Until now, MSI (and other OLED monitor makers, for that matter) have included two optional HDR modes, HDR True Black 400 and HDR 1000. To boil the differences right down, HDR True Black 400 offers a generally brighter picture but with more limited HDR peaks for small, really bright objects, while HDR 1000 hits those super bright highs on very small areas of the screen, but generally looks dimmer.
