Panel26.5-inch OLED, 4th-generation Primary RGB Tandem; 2560 × 1440 (QHD), 0.2292 mm pixel pitch

In a tandem structure light comes from more than one OLED layer; LG associates this with higher brightness and lifetime.

LG		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 and response280 Hz; 0.03 ms (GtG) LG240 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
BrightnessTypical 335 cd/m², minimum 300 cd/m²; up to 1500 nits peak according to LG

The peak value applies to a small part of the screen in HDR content; brightness on a full white screen is much lower.

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
Colour—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
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.

MSI
Warranty—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.
