The MSI MPG 322URX QD-OLED is a premium 32-inch 4k gaming monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate. It competes with other 32-inch QD-OLEDs such as the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM, the Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P, and the Samsung Odyssey OLED G80SD S32DG80, and is a follow-up to the popular MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED. Like the 321URX, it has a custom heatsink, KVM switch, and Mystic RGB lighting. However, the 322URX adds some additional features, such as UHBR20 DisplayPort 2.1 bandwidth, official G-SYNC Compatible VRR support, and higher (98W) power delivery over USB-C.
Our Verdict
The MSI MPG 322URX is fantastic for PC gaming. It has outstanding contrast and displays deep blacks in a dark room. It also gets bright enough for smaller highlights to pop, though larger ones don't. It also has a very fast response time and low input lag, so games look crisp and feel responsive. Finally, it displays a wide range of colors quite vividly, so content looks engaging.

The MSI MPG 322URX is superb for console gaming. Its colors are vivid and rich, and it fully supports HDR, with small highlights that pop. It also supports VRR with both consoles for smoother motion, and its fantastic response time ensures fast-moving objects look crisp. Additionally, it has low input lag at 120Hz. However, while its input lag at 60Hz is good, it's not as responsive as some monitors at this refresh rate.

The MSI MPG 322URX is good for office work, with some caveats. Its large screen makes multitasking easier, and it has excellent text clarity. It also swivels and has fantastic viewing angles, so it's easy to share your screen with someone else. Additionally, it's bright enough for you to see the screen easily in an average room, though it's not bright enough to fight bright glare. That said, it has a risk of permanent burn-in with constant exposure to the same static elements over time, such as if you're regularly using productivity programs with task bars in the same place.
Bright enough to fight glare in most rooms.
KVM switch and at least 90W USB-C charging.
Sharp text and image clarity.
Risk of burn-in.
The MSI MPG 322URX is remarkable for editing. It displays a wide range of colors with excellent detail and accuracy, and you don't need to calibrate it for an accurate SDR image. It also displays deep blacks in a dark room, though like other QD-OLEDs, black levels rise and appear purple in rooms with a lot of ambient light. Additionally, there's a risk of permanent burn-in with constant exposure to the same static elements over time, such as if your editing programs and toolbars are always in the same place on the screen.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
We tested the 32-inch MSI MPG 322URX, which is the only size available. However, it's one of several very similar models in MSI's lineup. You can see the differences between these models below, though the results are only valid for this monitor.
| Model | Size | Panel Type | Power Delivery | DisplayPort Version | KVM Switch |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MPG 322URX QD-OLED | 32" | Flat QD-OLED | 98W | 2.1 (UHBR20) | Yes |
| MPG 321CURX QD-OLED | 32" | Curved QD-OLED | 98W | 1.4 | Yes |
| MPG 321URX QD-OLED | 32" | Flat QD-OLED | 90W | 1.4 | Yes |
| MAG 321UPX QD-OLED | 32" | Flat QD-OLED | 15W | 1.4 | No |
Our unit's label indicates it was manufactured in November 2024. We tested it on firmware FW.011.
Popular Monitor Comparisons
The MSI MPG 322URX is a premium 32-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor. Even compared to other 32-inch QD-OLEDs, it delivers a premium experience, as it has a KVM switch and UHBR20 bandwidth, which eliminates the need to use Display Stream Compression (DSC) to reach the monitor's max refresh rate. One of its closest competitors, the Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P, costs less and also has UHBR20 bandwidth, but it delivers less power over USB-C. Additionally, if you don't mind using DSC (and in many cases, the difference isn't noticeable), the 322URX's predecessor, the MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED, delivers very similar performance at a lower cost. That said, if you're looking for a premium gaming monitor that has it all, the 322URX is a fantastic choice.

The ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM and the MSI MPG 322URX QD-OLED are 4k 32-inch 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitors. While both have very similar performance, the ASUS is a better option if you're in a brighter room, as it gets much brighter in SDR. However, the MSI is a better option if you don't want to use DSC, as it has UHBR20 bandwidth and reaches its max refresh rate without any compression.
The Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P and the MSI MPG 322URX QD-OLED are both 32-inch 4k 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitors. Both monitors have very similar performance and UHBR20 support, and for most people the better option is whichever one you can find cheaper. However, if you're gaming in a brighter room, the Gigabyte is a better option, as it gets brighter in SDR. However, the MSI is a better option if you're connecting a laptop that draws lots of power, as it delivers much more power over USB-C.
The 32-inch MSI MPG 322URX QD-OLED is a newer version of the MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED. Both target gamers and have a 240Hz refresh rate, a KVM switch, and extremely similar overall performance. If you don't want to use DSC to reach the monitor's maximum refresh rate or are looking for official G-SYNC compatible VRR support, the 322URX is the better option. However, if you don't need these features, the 321URX provides a nearly identical experience and is a great choice if you can find it for less.
The MSI MPG 322URX QD-OLED and the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG are different types of 4k, 240Hz OLED gaming monitors. One of the main differences is that they have different panel types, with the ASUS being WOLED and the MSI being QD-OLED. While they each have a high native contrast ratio, the ASUS has much deeper blacks in bright rooms than the MSI. However, colors look more vivid on the MSI. They have a few differences in gaming, as the ASUS has a 1080p, 480Hz dual mode for a smoother feel, while the MSI supports DisplayPort 2.1 bandwidth, which the ASUS doesn't.
We buy and test more than 30 monitors each year, all of which we purchase ourselves, without cherry-picked units or samples. We put a lot into each unbiased, straight-to-the-point review, and there's a whole process from purchasing to publishing, involving multiple teams and people. We do more than just use the monitor for a week; we use specialized, custom tools to measure various aspects and deliver objective, data-driven results. We also consider multiple factors before making any recommendations, including the monitor's cost, its performance compared to the competition, and whether it's easy to find.
