Panel33.94-inch WOLED; 3440 × 1440; 21:9; 800R curve; anti-glare (matte) surface

800R means the screen curves like an arc of a circle with an 800 mm radius. Pixel pitch is 0.231 mm.

ASUS		26.5-inch flat QD-OLED; 2560 × 1440 (WQHD), 16:9; anti-reflection surface

In QD-OLED, light from a blue OLED layer is converted to red and green by quantum dots; because each pixel emits its own light, blacks turn fully off.

MSI
Refresh rate and response240 Hz; 0.03 ms (GtG); Adaptive-Sync VRR

ASUS lists VESA AdaptiveSync Display 240Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and G-SYNC Compatible certification.

Brightness and HDR1300 cd/m² HDR peak brightness; HDR10; VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black

ASUS gives this figure, asterisked, as peak HDR brightness; it is not sustained full-screen brightness.

ASUS		SDR 250 nits (typical); HDR 450 nits at 10% window and 1000 nits peak at 3% window; VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400

OLED brightness falls as the lit area grows; 1000 nits appears only in very small bright highlights. True Black 400 certifies deep blacks with at least 400 nits HDR performance.

MSI
Colour10-bit (1.07 billion colours); DCI-P3 99%, sRGB 135%; ΔE ≤ 2; 1,500,000:1 contrast

A factory colour calibration report is in the box.

ASUS		10-bit (1.07 billion colours); 99.1% DCI-P3 and 100% sRGB coverage (CIE 1976); ΔE ≤ 2

The wide gamut gives saturated colour in HDR and games; MSI states colour accuracy as ΔE ≤ 2.

MSI
Video inputs1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC); 2 × HDMI 2.1 (FRL); 1 × USB-C (DP Alt Mode, 90 W power)

The USB-C input can take video from a laptop over one cable while charging it at up to 90 W. All three inputs support vertical frequencies up to 240 Hz.

ASUS		—
Other connections and featuresUSB hub: 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, 1 × USB 2.0 Type-A; KVM switch; optical audio (S/PDIF) out; headphone out; no built-in speakers; proximity sensor

With KVM a keyboard and mouse plugged into the monitor can be shared between two computers.

Stand and mountingTilt +20° / −5°, swivel ±15°, height 0–110 mm; VESA 100 × 100 mm; 1/4-inch tripod socket; Kensington lock

The tripod socket is for mounting a camera or light on top of the stand.

ASUS		Tilt -5°/20°, swivel ±30°, height 0–110 mm, pivot ±90°; VESA 100 × 100 mm MSI
Size and weightWith stand 78.6 × 55.1 × 29.3 cm and 8.4 kg; without stand 78.6 × 37.2 × 16.1 cm and 5.6 kg

ASUS notes dimensions and weight may vary by region.

ASUS		609 × 242 × 416 mm with stand; 609 × 72 × 362 mm without; 5.3 kg without stand MSI
Refresh rate—240 Hz; Adaptive-Sync 48–240 Hz; 2560 × 1440 at 240 Hz over DisplayPort 1.4a, both HDMI 2.1 ports and USB-C (DP Alt)

240 Hz shows 240 frames per second for smooth, clear motion in fast games, provided the graphics card can produce that frame rate. Adaptive-Sync matches the display’s refresh to the card’s frame rate to prevent tearing.

MSI
Response time—0.03 ms (GtG)

This is grey-to-grey transition time; OLED’s very fast transitions reduce motion blur, but it is not the same as total input lag.

MSI
Contrast and viewing angle—1,500,000:1 (typical); 178° / 178° MSI
Inputs—2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4a, 1 × USB-C (DP Alt, 15 W PD), headphone out

The HDMI 2.1 inputs support WQHD 240 Hz on consoles at 48 Gbps (Console Mode). USB-C with 15 W only charges small devices such as phones and is not enough to charge a laptop; the port runs at USB 2.0 speed and there is no separate USB hub.

MSI
PiP / PbP—Picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture support

Shows two sources at once: in PiP one is a small window, in PbP the two sit side by side.

MSI
OLED care and cooling—MSI OLED Care 2.0; fanless design with graphene film and custom heatsink

OLED Care includes protection functions that reduce the risk of static images leaving marks (burn-in). With no fan, it makes no noise while running.

MSI
Warranty—3 years including OLED burn-in

Terms may vary by country.

MSI
Power consumption—40 kWh/1000 h in on mode; standby 0.5 W; off 0.3 W; energy class G MSI
