Yesterday we reported that Samsung Display had announced a new 32-inch 4K 360Hz QD-OLED panel, the first true successor to the 4K 240Hz QD-OLEDs that first appeared two years ago.
Now, MSI has announced its OLED 322URDX36 monitor using the panel, with a unique trick: as well as offering a 4K at 360Hz mode and a 1080p 680Hz mode, it has a mid-point 1440p 520Hz setting. That makes it the world's first "triple mode" monitor, which might come in handy for anyone trying to balance spatial resolution and temporal resolution to suit a specific game.
Elsewhere, the 322URDX36 is as-described, with a fifth-generation QD-OLED panel with "penta tandem" technology and an RGB stripe layout, which should contribute to excellent text clarity along with higher levels of brightness, colour volume and longevity. A 1500 nits peak brightness figure is impressive, even for a presumably tiny window size, and DisplayHDR True Black 600 certification means that the monitor gets to at least 600 nits of brightness in a larger window.
The monitor has DisplayPort 2.1a support over a UHBR20 (20Gbps) link, while USB-C offers a single-cable solution with up to 98W charging; this presumably won't allow for the full resolution and refresh rate of the monitor to be used, but should still be useful for attaching a modern laptop.
A new AI Care Sensor is meant to turn off the monitor when you're not sitting in front of it, a new addition to the usual raft of burn-in prevention measures.
As I've written several times during this Computex season, pricing has not been announced, while retail availability is expected this year but no firm details have been provided.
