MSI has showcased a new range of gaming monitors at Computex 2024 and the company demoed a new AI gaming monitor that has the potential of completely disrupting the gaming industry, particularly the competitive space.

Introducing, the MEG 321URX, a QD-OLED gaming monitor that arrives with a 3840 x 2160p resolution, 240Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms response time. While those specifications are certainly impressive, and is something I have complimented MSI for in my review of the display, it's not the aspect of the monitor that is capable of causing an uproar. The model showcased at Computex 2024 featured the same specifications, but with a few key changes and that was the inclusion of a light bar and what MSI calls AI Sky Sight.

This new technology was originally spotted at CES 2024, but has now been changed according MSI representatives at the MSI booth on the showroom floor. MSI describes the new version of the MEG 321URX as the "World's first true AI gaming monitor" as Sky Sight uses an AI engine to scan the game that is being played and provide the player with additional information.

The first day of Computex 2024 is here and to kick things off MSI has unveiled its latest ultrawide gaming monitor that now arrives with gorgeous OLED pixel technology.

MSI was kind enough to give me a tour of their booth at Computex where they showcased the company's latest and greatest offering in the ultrawide form factor. Introducing, the MSI MPG 341CQPX, which features Samsung's new ultrawide QD-OLED panel that provides incredible rich colors and deep blacks. The MPG 341CQPX provides gamers with a 3440 x 1440p resolution that's combined with a 240Hz refresh rate and a extremely low 0.03ms response time, thanks the QD-OLED pixel technology.

As for what generation of QD-OLED panel the MPG 341CQPX, reports indicate that it features Samsung's Gen 1.5 pixel technology, which means text fringing may be an issue, similar to the text issues we have seen in some of Samsung's early generation OLED panels. These issues were ironed out in its third generation OLED panel technology.

We are only a matter of hours away from Computex 2024 officially starting, but we have managed to get a sneak peak at what Cooler Master has in store for the trade show in terms of new gaming monitor offerings.

The primarily cooling and PC case manufacturer is showcasing a behemoth gaming monitor at their booth this year, and at the time of the sighting there wasn't any specification information on the product available. However, the currently unannounced gaming monitor will measure 57-inches and is a Dual UHD gaming panel, which means its resolution will be 7680 x 2160, making it dual 4K, or DUHD.

Additionally, the back of the monitor revealed the curvature which is 1000R - a very extreme, but necessary curvature considering the overall size of the display. Due to the lack of official details on the new display I had to do some digging into what panel is being used here. It appears Cooler Master is using the same 57-inch panel that is present in the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9, which is also a dual 4K panel that uses Quantum Mini-LED.

LG's new UltraGear OLED 45GS95QE gaming monitor is now the world's first certified gaming monitor with VESA DisplayHDR 1.2 certification. The South Korean giant announced it in a new post on X, check it out:

If you're in the market for a new gaming monitor, the new VESA DisplayHDR 1.2 certified badges will ensure you know the display's capabilities easily, especially when it comes to their HDR performance. The new DisplayHDR 1.2 specs introduce new testing requirements for monitor makers, with over 3000 monitors passing under DisplayHDR 1.0, and now the new LG UltraGear OLED 45GS95QE gaming monitor is the very first that's officially compliant with DisplayHDR 1.2 TrueBlack 400 standards.

Samsung has unveiled a variety of new products at Display Week 2024, one of which could be the next pixel technology that replaces the gorgeous OLED panels.

QD-OLED panels are making their way into gaming monitors of various sizes and some TVs, but what if OLED isn't necessarily the future of display technology? Introducing, QD-LED, or NanoLED, a new display technology currently being worked on by Samsung. According to the company the new display technology incoporates applying electricity directly to the quantum dots, removing the need for LED or OLED. The technology has several names, such as QD-LED, NanoLED, QDEL, QD-EL, or electroluminescent quantum dots.

Samsung displayed a QD-LED prototype at Display Week 2024, and according to reports its the largest display using the new panel technology, measuring 18 inches with a 3200 x 1800 resolution (202ppi) at 250 nits brightness. According to Samsung, QD-LED offers a wide color gamut and color accuracy, and doesn't require any organic material, meaning it won't be suffer from the same degrading fate as some OLED panels.

ASUS has launched a new gaming monitor and the company has claimed its the world's first WOLED gaming monitor to come to market.

The XG27AQDMG arrives with a 2560 x 1440p resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms (GtG) response time, and a 20% brighter image in SDR mode, according to ASUS. Additionally, ASUS also claims the XG27AQDMG will have deeper blacks and more vibrant colors.

Notably, the XG27AQDMG packs ASUS's third-generation OLED technology, which includes a custom heatsink, a clear pixel edge algorithm to clean up any text fringing, and "extreme low motion blur". As for color, ASUS claims the XG27AQDMG supports 99% of the DCI-P3 color space, or 135% of the RGB color space. There is also support for 10-bit color.
