MSI Unveils MPG 346CQRF X24: A 34-Inch Ultrawide Gaming Monitor with 240 Hz and 1500R Curved Display

MSI has just rolled out an exciting addition to its gaming monitor lineup, the MPG 346CQRF X24. While the name might be a mouthful, this 34-inch ultrawide curved beauty is packed with features that are sure to catch the eye of gaming enthusiasts.

Designed with high-refresh-rate fans in mind, especially e-sports players, this monitor doesn’t disappoint. It sports a VA panel with an impressive 240 Hz refresh rate and a 1500R curvature, offering a truly immersive gaming experience. The resolution stands at 3440 x 1440, providing a crisp 109 PPI—ideal for gamers seeking sharp and vivid visuals.

MSI has equipped this monitor to achieve a peak brightness of 400 nits and promises impressive contrast ratios. Common issues with VA panels like poor viewing angles and slow response times seem to be tackled, as MSI boasts a Gray-to-Gray response time of just 0.5 ms and 178° viewing angles. With 85% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut, it’s well-suited for entertainment, though not specifically targeting professional content creators.

Ergonomically, the monitor features a highly adjustable stand with 110 mm height adjustment, 30° swivel, and tilt between -5° to 15°. For connectivity, it comes well-equipped with dual HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4a, two USB 2.0 Type-A downstream, USB 2.0 Type-B upstream, USB 3.2 Type-C upstream with 98-watt power delivery support, and a headphone jack. It even includes a KVM switch, perfect for users managing multiple PCs.

In Japan, the monitor is priced at ¥87,800, roughly translating to $600, making it a strong contender in the ultrawide market segment.
