MSI revela la pantalla MEG 342C QD-OLED en Computex 2022

Rather unexpectedly, MSI has become the third company to reveal a QD-OLED based display, after Alienware and Samsung. The MEG 342C QD-OLED as the monitor is called, uses—just like the Alienware—a curved 34-inch QD-OLED panel. Sin embargo, MSI has gone for FreeSync Premium Pro over G-Sync Ultimate, which should hopefully result in a lower retail price. The resolution is also the same as on the Alienware, 3440×1440 and the two also share the same 175 Frecuencia de actualización Hz, 1800Curvatura R, 1000 nits peak HDR brightness and DisplayHDR True Black 400 Certificación. MSI claims the same DCI-P3 colour gamut of 99.3 percent, but the MEG 342C has a lower sRGB colour gamut of 139.1 percent versus 149 percent for the Alienware.

MSI has added a few features that the Alienware lack, such as a USB Type-C input with DisplayPort Alt Mode, KVM functionality and some MSI specific features such as a low blue-light mode and what the company calls “gaming intelligence”. MSI also supports Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture, something that it’s unclear if the Alienware supports or not. The MEG 342C is said to ship factory calibrated with a dE <2, which might not matter to most gamers, but should be important to anyone planning to use the display for video or photo editing work. MSI didn’t disclose any pricing, nor any availability date.
