According to Monitor Unboxed who got a preview sample of the 4K 32" from MSI, they're launching in February for around 1200$ for the 4K 32" model.
Really looking forward to all manufacturer QDOLED panel, totally getting one of the 32" 4K QDOled !
That's literally the format I have been waiting for regarding OLED.

Me also, i know an MSI 32" fits into my suitcase as i brought two MSI Optix MPG321UR-QD back from the UK, if they are available while im back this Feb il grab one, if not it will be the summer.

Love this trend where they don't release prices
I guess they are crawling discussions to find an acceptable range these days using some AI

They will wait until the other company release prices, or for CES

They stated 1200$ (1450 euros?) for the 4K 32" panel.

Il be surprised if that's the final end user price, they will do an AMD and decide on the day 😀

MPG 321URX still has DP1.4a, that's a bummer, same as the upcoming PG32UCDM from asus. Massive limitation. But if the pricing is reasonable, ie max 1500 euros, it would be worth to plunge into the oled gaming monitor waters for me. HDR true black 400 rating though seems the 2nd biggest issue beside the display port. We'll see, exciting times ahead in this year when it comes to end game gaming monitors 🙂

i'm in Vegas having a vacay before CES this week
the MSI OLEDS are going to be very good, given their base Samsung display.
two things occur to me:
1) it's impossible for them to be less expensive than the Samsung...or Alienware. Dell has committed to the lion's share of the OEM production and of course Samsung makes these and has a lower cost.
2) only relying on a graphene heatsink.
the issue should be familiar to all smartphone users... the longer the display is active the more heat is produced. i'm a bit spoiled as i have a ROG with an honest to goodness heatsink. but only using graphene with no fans means convection is the only means of heat dissipation - which means the chassis needs top vents and should have warnings about obstructions.
so... i'm going to check these out for overall build quality. MSI also is positioned as a premium brand and this is the premium segment so i'm checking for materials as well as the easiest way to lower cost is to skimp with cheaper plastics - which don't age or handle well.

hmm maybe in 5~10 year we will have OLED montors that cost more then Oled TV almost twice the size, 60hz 27" oled 1440p/4k even if it happen would still cost more then old twice it size. I really dont get why monitor price are so crazy
the 27" 1440p old look nice to me but sure price wont could careless about 120hz + junk seeing I will never own GPU capable the framerates, special now consider gpu price have gone stupid

Heat dissipation for the MSI is also a slight concern for me as well, overall a very interesting product nonetheless, looking forward to CES for other manufacturers.
Or we'll all have next-gen MicroLED 😱
tsunami231
that could happen too. but seeing Monitor seem to have some insane price compared TV for same function price would be still the same. one day I will get new monitor, probably when i forced to cause it died,

going to see some of these this week but afaik, still vaporware

Why is HDR True Black 400 certification a problem? It's QD-OLED so will still do 1000nits. It just means people have a choice and can use 400 True Black if they wish.

According to rtings. the HDR true black 400 limits peak brightness to 470 nits max Whereas the HDR 1000 certification my current monitor has can go up to 1350 nits.

marketing loves numbers, especially easy to manipulate numbers from inexact metrics like "nits".
even if you used the accurate term "candela", it is based on per square meter, while marketing has gotten folks to measure peak brightness in a 10% window - which is even more inaccurate. the vast majority of monitor panels are far less than a square meter, and even the Very Large Displays are using that 10% window.
not to mention that the type of display really matters as only OLEDs come close to accurate nit ratings due to per pixel illumination - and even then it's still massive fakery by marketing.
the only accurate way to measure screen brightness is by using lumens (which measure total brightness).
this was the standard up to and including plasma displays. but because you can get higher numbers (even if they only tell part of the story) the display manufacturers and the trade group started using nits with the highly inferior LCD displays as a sleight of hand to wow the uninformed.
this got more traction with the introduction of HDR as they needed a metric to show the difference in print or online when there were no eyeballs to see the sets - unlike in the past when it was necessary to go to brick and mortar shops to buy anything.
when you have True Black (i.e. zero nit base aside from VESA rating) and infinite contrast like all OLEDs the only effective difference for the end user is the placement of the display - at which point matte or glossy finish matter just as much.

Yes, True Black 400 is a setting you can turn off and on.
Turning it on limits it to True Black 400 specs.
Turning it off gives you the full 1000nits+ of brightness QD-OLED can do
Not rocket science which is why I'm confused when people say having the True Black 400 certification is a negative.
It gives people an extra option... It doesn't limit anything unless they choose to use that option
EzyPzyJapaneze
oh okay, I had no idea it is an option you can enable and disable, this is news to me
