Mounted this to my sim rig. Been a superb monitor so far. Easy to use with the little joystick and lots of options, including excellent OLED care options. The picture quality is outstanding. Not suite as good as my C1, but being QD-OLED you just don’t get those inky inky blacks compared to W-OLED. It’s a negligible difference though. Still miles better blacks than any other monitor tech out there of course. Main thing that made me go with MSI is their 3 year warranty includes burn in! No one else out there does that as far as I know.

I have been waiting a couple of years now to see how the PC QD-OLED monitor market would play out, so I decided the tech and warranties had advanced enough that I wouldnt have buyers regret once I purchased.
So I opted for the MSI MPG 491CQP 5120x1440 32:9, I had come from a Alienware AW3821DW (3840x1600 21:9).
According to the sticker on the back my display was built January 2024 and came with the FW.013 firmware installed which is the latest at the time of writing (27.04.24)
I'm running a 4090 RTX and 13900K both on a customer water and heavily overclocked in order to power these high res displays.
My use case is productivity and gaming. I work from home so having even more desktop real estate is awesome.
Rather than a huge wall of text I'll list out the reasons why I ended up chosing this monitor over the current others.
KVM - Means I can have my work laptop & gaming PC connected to the display which handles where the keyboard/mouse input goes. Great no more external switch cluttering up my desk!
3 year burn in warranty - Coming from Dell/AW I always had their warranties so I was happy to see MSI offered 3 years, as a bonusw hen you register the product with MSI make sure to fill out the survey and you get an extra 3 months so make sure to take advantage of this. I think also you can chose to purchase a warranty extension with MSI Care Plus once that time is up.
OLED Care 2.0 Good to see these features from TV's making their way into desktop displays. Lots of features to keep the monitor healthy and you can adjust them from the OSD/Desktop utility.
Sub Pixel Improvement - Previously I had tested some first gen panels and had issues with text on the screen due to the sub-pixel layout, the new panels have made some improvements on the arrangement and I'd say I'm happy enough with the improvement for it to be viable for me now. I think there can still be improvements both in the sub pixel layout and the software (TrueTypeFont, I'm looking at you Microsoft to support ClearType 2 or a Enhanced ClearType Tuner until further hardware improvements can be made)
Calibration Report - I thought this was a nice little touch, inside the box sleeve was a printout from the factory showing the calibration report for the monitor. Great as at a glance I could tell how much fiddling I might need to do. Considering its done on mass not bad for a factory cal.
PIP / PBP - Never had a gaming monitor that really properly supported this so its a nice extra luxury to have. Great when I'm doing builds/repairs for friends or want to plug the sky box in.
Lightweight - Holy cow this thing is light, seriously it weighs less than my old AW3821DW. I can lift it up with one hand and it makes moving it about so much easier. I'm quite a tall guy (199cm) so I think I might use a 3rd party display stand to raise it up a bit as at the distance I sit at it from my desk I am craning my neck a bit.
HDR Gaming - Destiny 2 is my goto game, being a 40 something family guy I can dip in and out of this with ease and when I do have the time to play I want it to be an amazing experiance. Sweet baby cheeses the game in HDR mode on an QD-OLED looks absolutly fantastic, so vibrant and those blacks are deep and inky. Obviously I am comparing QD-OLED DisplayHDR True Black 400 tech to the previous IPS/Edgelit/HDR on the AW38 so its a bit unfair but it is truly magnificient. CyberPunk also looks amazing on this display!!!
