No tendremos la vida útil de un panel IPS o VA y estamos hablando de muchos euros pero, la calidad que ofrece no tiene nada que ver con esos tipos de monitores. Si vais bien de bolsillo, esto es un "game changer", sin duda que os lo recomendamos.

The MSI MEG 342C is fantastic for gaming. It has a 175Hz refresh rate with VRR support, and motion looks incredibly smooth thanks to its near-instantaneous response times. Your inputs also feel responsive as it has low input lag. While it performs best for PC gaming, it also supports 4k @ 120Hz gaming from consoles, but you'll see black bars on the sides due to its ultrawide format. Lastly, it's incredible for gaming in dark rooms because of its near-infinite contrast ratio, so blacks look deep and inky.

Este monitor es un espectáculo por donde quiera que lo miremos, Samsung vuelve a darle una vuelta de tuerca a la tecnología OLED implementando filtros Quantum Dot para mejorar más si cabe la calidad de imagen, y MSI hace un gran trabajo de puesta a punto a nivel de calibración y extras.

Los 3.440 x 1.440 píxeles del MSI MEG 342C QD-OLED suponen un buen equilibrio entre resolución y requisitos necesarios para mover juegos exigentes, y los 175 Hz junto con FreeSync Premium Pro (también funciona con G-Sync Compatible), cumplen con creces con lo que podemos esperar en un monitor gaming en este formato 21:9.

The MSI MEG 342C is an excellent choice for users who want fantastic HDR performance with rich colors and endless contrast. It’s not cheap, but it’s a more practical choice over the mini-LED variants that are starting to appear, like the ViewSonic XG341C-2K. It’s also loaded with features like HDMI 2.1, USB-C, and KVM, so it’s more than just a gaming display.
