Our Verdict

MSI MEG 342C QD-OLED

MSI MPG 341CQPX QD-OLED

The MSI MEG 342C QD-OLED and the MSI MPG 341CQPX QD-OLED are 34-inch ultrawide QD-OLED gaming monitors. The 341CQPX is the better monitor for most people, as it has a higher refresh rate for smoother and more responsive gaming, and it gets brighter in HDR. However, if you don't need the higher refresh rate or slightly brighter highlights, the 342C has very similar performance and features and is a great value if you can find it for less.
