MSI's fifth-generation QD-OLED gaming monitor embraces RGB stripe subpixels — 34-inch display boasts enhanced text clarity, boosted brightness, and improved black levels

MSI MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36.

Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? That appears to be MSI’s mantra with the new MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 gaming monitor, which was on full display this week at CES. As its name implies, the MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 (say that three times fast) uses a 5th-generation QD-OLED panel with an RGB stripe sub-pixel arrangement.

The move to a vertical RGB stripe instead of the slightly odd triangular sub-pixel layout on previous Samsung QD-OLED panels allows for sharper text on screen. The increase in text clarity doesn’t come at the expense of the other advantages inherent to OLED panels (namely, rich color, ultra-fast response times, and deeper blacks).
