Panel26.5-inch QD-OLED, 16:9; 3840 × 2160 (4K); 0.153 mm pixel pitch

The small pixel pitch (about 166 ppi) makes text and interface edges look sharper than on 27-inch 1440p monitors.

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.

MSI
Refresh rate and VRR240 Hz; 48–240 Hz variable refresh on HDMI and DP/USB-C inputs; FreeSync Premium Pro, G-SYNC Compatible, VESA AdaptiveSync Display 240Hz

All inputs support 240 Hz at 4K; variable refresh prevents tearing and stutter as the game frame rate moves between 48 and 240.

Response time0.03 ms (GtG)

Grey-to-grey transition time; because OLED pixels change much faster than LCD, motion blur depends mostly on the refresh rate.

Brightness and contrast1,000 cd/m² HDR peak; 1,500,000:1 typical contrast

1,000 cd/m² is a peak reached on a small area of the screen; a full white screen stays much lower. ASUS gives no typical SDR brightness value.

HDRVESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black; HDR10; Dolby Vision

The True Black tier measures OLED’s very low black level; 400 is the minimum peak brightness threshold in the certification test. Dolby Vision support lets compatible sources use scene-by-scene HDR data.

Colour99% DCI-P3, 145% sRGB; 10-bit (1.07 billion colours); ΔE < 2

ΔE < 2 means factory calibration deviates from target colours by an amount most people cannot see; a calibration report is included.

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
Inputs1 × DisplayPort 2.1; 2 × HDMI 2.1 (FRL); 1 × USB-C (DP Alt Mode, 90 W power delivery); headphone jack

USB-C takes video over a single cable and supplies up to 90 W to a laptop. The HDMI 2.1 inputs can be used for 4K 120 Hz on consoles.

ASUS
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.

MSI
USB and KVM3 × USB-A 5 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 1) hub; KVM switch

KVM moves the keyboard and mouse attached to the monitor between two computers when the input is switched.

OLED protectionASUS OLED Care; Neo Proximity Sensor

OLED Care includes burn-in prevention functions such as pixel cleaning, screen shift, logo brightness adjustment and taskbar detection. The proximity sensor dims the screen when the user leaves, reducing static image time.

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.

MSI
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.
