Our Verdict

MSI MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36

Dell Alienware AW3426DW

The MSI MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 and the Dell Alienware AW3426DW are both ultrawide gaming monitors with a fifth-gen QD-OLED panel. While they have similar picture quality, there are a few differences in features. The MSI features a faster 360Hz refresh rate with higher DisplayPort 2.1 bandwidth, and it has a bigger USB hub that includes a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode, which the Dell lacks. Plus, the MSI has a few extra perks, like black frame insertion to reduce persistence blur, and a KVM switch that makes it easy to change sources and use the same devices on both. That said, the Dell supports Dolby Vision.
