We're in the middle of a bit of a monitor revolution that comes around once every few years, as new panel types take hold and wow the crowds. That's certainly the case in 2024 with a slew of new monitors based around Samsung's third-gen QD-OLED panels., and it's also a fantastic gaming monitor - and one that looks like the best option for those in the US, given a lower introductory price on the opposite side of the Atlantic.
Of course, as a QD-OLED, it goes without saying that this monitor's blacks are fantastic and deep, while its contrast is vibrant with accurate colours. This backs up the point that the MPG 321URX is technically suitable for workloads outside of gaming, although with the mixture of outstanding specs, you'd be silly for not using this monitor for its intended purpose.You can barely notice the already-thin bezels in content that showcases the perfect blacks.
After a few hours of messing around in various titles, the MPG 321URX also works well as a monitor for when you want to kick back and relax and simply watch all manner of content on YouTube or paid streaming services including Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video. It seems as if 4K HDR content is becoming a paid extra in those streaming services, but you can certainly reap the benefits of it with the MPG 321URX.
This is an increasingly grown-up looking panel than Asus and Alienware's option, although it depends what you want out of a monitor. Port selection is also vast, matching Asus' options. Getting out my trusty colorimeter to test the overall image quality of the MPG 321URX confirmed my thoughts about it offering fantastic colours and contrast, as well as deep blacks. SDR brightness isn't particularly high, measured at around 210 nits, but this is in line with other monitors that use the same panel.
