Panel44.5-inch WOLED, 21:9, 800R curve; 5120 × 2160 (5K2K), 0.2035 mm pixel pitch (about 125 ppi); MLA+

800R means the screen curves along a circle with an 80 cm radius, so the edges sit closer to the eyes. MLA+ (micro lens array) directs OLED pixel light forward to raise brightness.

LG		34.18-inch curved QD-OLED, 1800R; 3440 × 1440 (UWQHD), 21:9; 0.2315 mm pixel pitch

1800R is the curve of a circle with a 1.8 m radius; it brings the edges of the wide screen closer to your eyes. The 21:9 ratio gives a wider field of view in supported games and room for two windows side by side.

MSI
Refresh rate and response165 Hz at 5K2K; 330 Hz at WFHD with VESA-certified Dual-Mode; 0.03 ms (GtG)

Dual-Mode doubles the refresh rate by lowering the resolution: 330 Hz for fast competitive games, 5K2K at 165 Hz for detailed games.

Brightness and HDR275 cd/m² typical (minimum 250); HDR10, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400; DCI-P3 98.5%; 10-bit; contrast 1,500,000:1 (typical)

DisplayHDR True Black 400 is VESA’s certification for screens that can turn black fully off, such as OLED, and requires 400 nits peak brightness.

LG		250 nits typical SDR; 1,000 nits peak HDR at 3% APL, 450 nits at 10% APL; VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400; 1,500,000:1 contrast

1,000 nits is reached only on bright areas covering about 3% of the screen (explosions, sun glints); as the bright area grows, OLED automatic brightness limiting kicks in.

MSI
SyncNVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, VRR

Variable refresh rate matches the monitor to the graphics card’s frame rate, reducing tearing and stutter.

Inputs2 × HDMI, 1 × DisplayPort 2.1 (DSC), 1 × USB-C (5120 × 2160 at 165 Hz, data, 90 W power); 2 × USB 3.0 downstream; 4-pole headphone/mic

DSC compresses the image visually losslessly so high resolution and refresh rate fit through one cable. USB-C gives a laptop video, data and 90 W charging over one cable. LG notes NVIDIA released a driver in April 2025 that fixed screen blackouts seen over DisplayPort.

LG		—
PiP and PbPPIP and 2-source PBP

PiP shows one source in a small window, and PbP splits the screen to show two sources side by side, for example a computer and a game console at once.

Refresh and response—240 Hz (48–240 Hz variable range); 0.03 ms GtG

240 Hz is reached at full resolution over DisplayPort 1.4a or HDMI 2.1. 0.03 ms is pixel transition time, not total input lag. Below 48 fps the frame rate falls outside the variable refresh range.

MSI
Colour—10-bit (1.07 billion colours); DCI-P3 99.3%, Adobe RGB 97.8%, sRGB 139.1% (CIE 1976)

sRGB above 100% means sRGB content can look oversaturated unless shown in a clamped mode.

MSI
Variable refresh—G-SYNC Compatible, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro

Matching refresh to the graphics card’s frame rate reduces tearing and stutter; FreeSync Premium Pro also covers low-latency HDR operation.

MSI
Video inputs—1 × DisplayPort 1.4a (3440 × 1440 240 Hz); 2 × HDMI 2.1 (UWQHD 240 Hz); 1 × USB-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode, 98 W Power Delivery)

USB-C takes video from a laptop over one cable and charges it at up to 98 W; the PD charging option must be enabled in the OSD. The USB-C data path runs at USB 2.0 speed.

MSI
USB and audio—2 × USB 2.0 Type-A, 1 × USB 2.0 Type-B (upstream); headphone out; no built-in speakers

The USB-A ports are for low-speed devices like keyboard and mouse; they are not suited to external SSDs.

MSI
KVM and multi-view—Built-in KVM; PiP (picture-in-picture) and PbP (picture-by-picture)

KVM shares the keyboard and mouse attached to the monitor between two computers; switching is done via the USB option in the OSD. PbP splits the screen between two sources, PiP shows one in a small window.

MSI
Surface and viewing angle—Anti-reflection surface treatment; 178° / 178° MSI
Warranty—3 years, including panel burn-in

On OLED, images left static for long periods can leave permanent marks; MSI covers this risk under warranty. Terms can vary by country.
