Release year20242024
Panel26.5-inch WOLED; anti-glare surface

WOLED uses a white OLED layer with colour filters; each pixel makes its own light, so blacks switch fully off.

ASUS		31.5-inch flat QD-OLED; 3840 × 2160; 0.1814 mm pixel pitch; anti-reflection surface

QD-OLED converts blue OLED light to red and green with quantum dots; because each pixel makes its own light, blacks can switch fully off. 4K at 32 inches gives roughly 140 ppi.

Resolution2560 × 1440, 16:9 ASUS—
Refresh rateUp to 480 Hz

480 Hz improves motion clarity in fast games; reaching it also needs the graphics card to render close to 480 frames.

ASUS		—
Response time0.03 ms (GtG)

GtG is the grey-to-grey pixel transition time, not total input lag.

ASUS		—
Brightness and contrastHDR peak 1,300 cd/m²; contrast 1,500,000:1 (typical)

The peak figure applies to a small part of the screen; ASUS notes that peak brightness may vary with colour pre-calibration.

ASUS		—
Colour99% DCI-P3, 135% sRGB; 10-bit; ΔE < 2

A colour pre-calibration report is included in the box.

ASUS		10-bit (1.07 billion colours); 99% DCI-P3, 97% Adobe RGB, 138% sRGB

138% sRGB means the gamut extends well beyond sRGB; use the monitor’s sRGB mode so sRGB content does not look oversaturated.

MSI
HDR and certificationsHDR10; VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black ASUS—
Variable refreshVESA AdaptiveSync Display 480Hz; AMD FreeSync Premium; G-SYNC Compatible

Variable refresh matches the monitor’s rate to the graphics card’s frame rate to prevent tearing.

ASUS		—
Video inputs1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC), 2 × HDMI 2.1 (FRL)

DSC compresses the signal in a way considered visually lossless so that 1440p 480 Hz fits within DisplayPort 1.4 bandwidth.

Size and weightWith stand 60.5 × 54.8 × 27.4 cm, 6.2 kg; without stand 60.5 × 35.1 × 5.0 cm, 3.5 kg

ASUS states the dimensions are estimates and may vary by region.

Warranty3 years, including OLED burn-in

Burn-in is when long-static images leave a mark on an OLED panel; the OLED Care features aim to reduce it.

ASUS		3 years, including panel burn-in

On OLED panels, images left static for long periods can leave a permanent mark (burn-in); MSI covers this risk under warranty. Terms may vary by country.

In the boxDisplayPort cable, Ultra High Speed HDMI cable, USB 3.2 cable, power adapter, VESA mount kit, calibration report, ROG pouch ASUS—
Refresh and response—240 Hz (48–240 Hz variable range); 0.03 ms GtG

MSI says 240 Hz at 4K is reachable over DisplayPort 1.4a, HDMI 2.1 and USB-C alike. 0.03 ms is grey-to-grey transition time, not total input lag.

MSI
Brightness and HDR—250 nits typical; DisplayHDR True Black 400; 1,500,000:1 typical contrast

DisplayHDR True Black 400 is the VESA class for displays that can produce deep blacks such as OLED; it requires 400-nit small-area brightness and a very low black level. 250 nits is the full-screen SDR figure.

MSI
Adaptive sync—G-SYNC Compatible; AMD FreeSync Premium Pro

Adaptive sync matches the display refresh to the game’s frame rate to reduce tearing and stutter. FreeSync Premium Pro adds a low-latency requirement in HDR.

MSI
Inputs—1 × DisplayPort 1.4a; 2 × HDMI 2.1; 1 × USB-C (DP Alt Mode, 90 W PD); 2 × USB 2.0 Type-A, 1 × USB 2.0 Type-B; headphone out

The USB-C input can carry video and charge a laptop at up to 90 W over a single cable. Display Ninja says the monitor has a built-in KVM; the USB-A ports run at USB 2.0 speed.
