MSI's new 32-inch OLED monitor can switch between 4K 360 Hz, 1440p 520 Hz, and 1080p 680 Hz — featuring a 'Penta Tandem' QD-OLED panel with RGB stripe subpixels
Have you ever thought that going from 4K to 1080p on a dual-mode monitor was just too much of compromise for higher refresh rates? Well, worry not, as MSI has just answered your prayers with a 4K 360 Hz QD-OLED monitor that has a 1440p 520 Hz mode and a 1080p 680 Hz mode, all packaged nicely inside a 32" beast.
MSI is launching a new monitor with advanced display technology to cater to the high-refresh-rate gaming market.
This only represents an incremental improvement in display technology for a niche market, not a significant shift for a strategic reader.
Consumers who prioritize extremely high refresh rates at various resolutions for gaming will have a new, albeit expensive, hardware option.
