The MSI MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24 is the no-compromise 4K HDR gaming experience that I've been waiting for.

MSI MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24: One-minute review

Exactly two years ago, MSI rolled out its debut 4K OLED gaming monitor. Now here we are with the new MSI MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24, one of the first gaming monitors to get Samsung's newly upgraded 4K QD-OLED panel tech.

Superficially, of course, this 32-inch 4K gaming monitor is a dead ringer for its direct predecessors from MSI, most obviously the MSI MPG 321URX. It sports exactly the same chassis design, for instance, and a mostly similar feature set. But that new QD-OLED panel makes this a rather different proposition.

The resolution and refresh rate actually remain the same. So, that's 3,840 by 2,160 pixels and 240Hz maximum refresh, the latter being plenty for a 4K display. You're not going to be able to drive it beyond that speed in most games. The response times are carried over, too, which is just fine given we're talking about a lightning-quick rating of 0.03ms.

So, what exactly is different? The first hint that you've got Samsung's latest five-layer Tandem QD-OLED tech is in the full-screen brightness rating. That's up from 250 nits for previous 32-inch 4K QD-OLEDs to 300 nits. And while the peak HDR brightness remains pegged at 1,000 nits, the VESA DisplayHDR certification has been bumped up from True Black 400 to True Black 500, indicating more HDR punch.

All of that is enabled by a new third-gen emissive OLED material which Samsung also says is twice as durable as before. That's important because it means this new QD-OLED should be even more resistant to burn-in, a potential if unlikely problem that's also covered by the three-year warranty.

Another feature of the new panel is a revised surface material that reduces the purple tint in bright ambient light that all QD-OLEDs have thus far exhibited. MSI calls it Dark Armor Film and while it doesn't entirely eradicate the issue, black levels and perceived contrast are definitely improved.

However, there is one new-gen QD-OLED feature missing from this revised 32-inch 4K panel. The true RGB-stripe subpixel structure, as seen in another MSI monitor we reviewed recently, the MSI MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36, isn't included here. On paper, RGB-stripe is desirable for precision rendering, especially fonts. In practice, this 32-inch 4K monitor has sufficient pixel density to make that a pretty moot point. It's very crisp and precise.

Whatever, the overall result of the upgrades is, if anything, more impressive than the incremental spec improvements imply. This is a gorgeous, vibrant monitor. Importantly, it's much richer and subjectively punchier than similar monitors based on LG's competing WOLED panel tech.

Full-screen SDR brightness is likewise now strong enough for almost all realistic use cases. But the real showbiz stuff is HDR gaming. The combination of 4K pixel density with the speed, contrast, lighting precision and outright pop of Samsung's latest QD-OLED tech, all heightened by the glossy screen coating, is downright fabulous.

Long story short, this new 4K QD-OLED panel really is approaching something akin to the perfect 2D display technology. There are still a few detail weaknesses. But overall, this 4K MSI beauty absolutely wallops any similar LCD display. It's not even close.

MSI MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24: Price & availability

• How much does it cost? $1,099 / £999 / AU$1,799
• When is it available? Available now
• Where can you get it? Available in the US, UK, and Australia

At $1,099, the new MSI MPG 322UR X24 is a touch more expensive than MSI's first 32-inch 4K QD-OLED monitor at launch two years ago. But you do get a much improved panel.

It's also a fair bit cheaper than the likes of the Asus ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM Gen3, which uses exactly the same Samsung-sourced new-gen QD-OLED panel, but goes for about $1,299.

Of course, this is still a pretty expensive display. That's the reality with OLED technology right now. You have to pay a hefty premium versus LCD-based monitors of the same size and resolution. However, it's worth noting that there's a good chance that MSI will launch a slightly de-featured but cheaper-still variant of this monitor in the near future.

MSI MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24: Design

• Familiar looks
• Good connectivity
• Reassuring warranty cover

In terms of styling, little has changed with the new MSI MPG 322UR X24. It looks just like the MSI MPG 321URX did back at launch two years ago.

It's not the most striking monitor design. But it's pretty well built and slick enough thanks to slim bezels and a low-key, all-black design ethic. You also get a good range of adjustment, including tilt, height, swivel, rotate and pivot, albeit the latter doesn't go all the way round into portrait mode.

As for connectivity, that includes a pair of HDMI 2.1 sockets, DisplayPort 2.1, a USB-C interface with 98 watts of power delivery and a two-port USB-A hub. The USB-C connectivity means you can share this monitor between, say, a gaming desktop and a work laptop with particular ease and minimal cable clutter.

Burn-in, of course, remains somewhat of a worry with OLED display technology, even if several third party long-term tests have shown that it's not a major problem with Samsung's QD-OLED tech. So, it's good to see that MSI has included several burn-in compensating features such as pixel shifting. You also get burn-in cover as part of MSI's three-year warranty. At minimum, you needn't have any concerns during the warranty period.

Finally, fans of glossy screen coatings will be pleased to learn that the MSI MPG 322UR X24 comes so equipped. It certainly heightens the visual impact of QD-OLED panel technology, even if that comes at the cost of increased reflectivity. In short, glossy screen coatings are a preference thing, they have pros and cons.

MSI MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24: Performance

• Fantastic new QD-OLED panel
• Stupendous HDR experience
• Full-screen brightness now "good enough"

Samsung's first effort at a 32-inch 4K QD-OLED panel for PC gaming monitors was pretty stellar but had a few arguable issues, including somewhat limited full-screen brightness and a purple tint that was visible in bright ambient light.

The MSI MPG 322UR X24 upgrades that experience with a new generation of QD-OLED technology that directly addresses those shortcomings. And it really is closing in on QD-OLED perfection.

First up, there's the overall vibrancy and punch. The full-screen SDR experience is now surely good enough for the vast majority of use cases and preferences. It's worth noting that the full-screen experience is, if anything, subjectively better than the official 300 nit rating implies.

The panel contrast still suffers a little in really bright ambient light. (Image credit: Future)

That's because, unlike LG's competing WOLED tech which relies on additional white subpixels to achieve its peak brightness rating, Samsung QD-OLED panels are pure RGB tech. Long story short, QD-OLED panels have better colour brightness and this MSI monitor has some serious SDR zing as a consequence.

Of course, where it really delivers is with HDR content and games. It really is hard to overstate how much better this monitor is than any LCD-based panel, even one with full-array local dimming, when it comes to the HDR experience. This new QD-OLED panel takes the usual advantage of OLED panel tech, which is perfect per-pixel lighting, and adds even more punch and sizzle. It's spectacular.

For this monitor, MSI has also implemented its EOTF boost mode technology. It's designed to combine the best aspects of both the VESA HDR 400 calibrated mode with the HDR Peak 1000 nits mode and give the highest brightness and image detail for both darker and brighter HDR gaming scenes. In short, it does just that and means you can use EOTF boost mode for all HDR content and be confident you're getting a good experience.

Of course, along with all that goodness specific to the latest QD-OLED tech, you're also getting the razor-sharp image detail and pixel density of 4K on a 32-inch panel. It's an incredible combination, and the overall result is genuinely spectacular.

So, is it perfect? Not quite. The new panel film does indeed reduce the purple tint of QD-OLED technology in bright light. But it doesn't entirely remove it. Apart from that, well, you really are into nit-picking territory. The panel's color temperature remains just a touch warm. And the concerns I mentioned around burn-in will remain in the context of really long term use. But this monitor truly is the art of QD-OLED panel tech very nearly perfected.

The Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 is a great chair for those who love to fidget and or make minute adjustments to their chair to make it just right.

The Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 aims to keep the premium chair styling of some of Sihoo’s other chairs while also being a bit more wallet-friendly. Not everyone has north of $1,000 to drop on an ergonomic chair, and for those who do, they likely don’t want to spend it on just any chair; they want to make sure it’s a good value.

That’s where the C300 Pro V2 comes in. This chair obviously reminds me a lot of the other Sihoo Doro chairs I have tested. But it also reminds me of the Hinomi line of chairs, with a thousand areas to adjust to make it comfortable.

Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2: Unboxing and First Impressions

(Image credit: Collin Probst // Future )

My unboxing experience for the Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 was unique in a few ways. First of all, I had to have two delivered. My first model had a damaged wheel, but when flagging to Sihoo, they sent me a second chair.

Once I got the second chair, I had just assembled one of the fastest and easiest chairs (of the ones I had to actually assemble, some come fully assembled), so my tolerance for building is slightly tweaked. That being said, assembly took a full 30 minutes, with about 8 minutes just for unboxing everything. Sihoo has always been a company with many pieces, and they ensure that every piece is properly packaged individually, resulting in a lot of material to remove from the individual elements before assembly.

While assembling, I noticed that the letters on the included diagram did not match anything on the pieces, but instead matched the diagram. I then had to refer to the diagram to confirm which screw type to use, for example. Also, I was slightly frustrated and slowed down by having to use the included hand tool instead of my Hoto Tools screwdriver.

Once built, the chair feels high-quality, the materials seem likely to last, and there’s no squeaking or creaking. So now the question remains, is the build time worth the comfort of the chair? I think it’s worth consideration.

Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2: Design & Build Quality

(Image credit: Collin Probst // Future )

The Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 is mostly a sleek, elegant white mesh, with a PU-coated armrest and a rigid frame. The chair itself is quite comfortable, all while looking very modern and clean. It’s not your average office chair, nor your average cheap Amazon home office seat. Nay, this is a high-brow, powerful-feeling office chair that feels like it belongs in NASA, not in a home office.

While using this chair, I haven’t noticed any wobble or shake, and I haven't had any concerns about base stability, rolling wheels, or leaning back. While this may not be the look that everyone wants, the comfort is hard to deny. I remember the first round of Sihoo Doro chairs that I tested. I was genuinely impressed by how comfortable the spaceship-like chair felt, even on long days.

The mesh seating provides a good balance of support and comfort. The seat doesn't feel like a hammock, which is always a good sign for more expensive chairs. In general, there aren’t any spots that feel cheap or plasticky. Which could be a bit shocking. Not because Sihoo has a bad rap, but because this chair has a ton of moving parts, and that many moving parts could easily result in squeaks, loose tolerances between parts, and so on. But again, what is fantastic is that this has not been the case with the C300 Pro V2 yet.

Another thing to note is that this is a massive chair. I’ve tested a lot of chairs, and some just feel robust, some feel quaint. This chair feels beyond robust. It feels like the difference between a RAM 1500 and a base Ford F-150, or an iPad Pro 13-inch with a Magic Keyboard vs an iPad Air with a thin folio.

Some of the chairs that I have recently tested and am currently testing, along with the C300 Pro V2, are significantly narrower and less… intense… for lack of a better term. Next to a smaller desk, say a 24-inch or even a 48-inch desk, this chair will look massive. But if you have a larger desk, perhaps in the 60-inch range or beyond, this chair will probably fit right in, depending, of course, on some other variables too.

Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2: In use

(Image credit: Collin Probst // Future )

I’ve had this chair back for about a week and a half after getting the replacement unit. So far, after several hours a day using this, I haven’t had any discomfort. It took me a little while to dial the chair in; with so many adjustable options, I kept wanting to make sure every setting was dialed in.

Personally, I see the benefit of the multi-functional armrests for some, but since I am not a gamer, I just keep them in the same general spot. But if you want to use this as an after-hours gaming chair or relaxation chair, too, you’ll be set.

The lumbar support is nice, and I do feel a good amount of support in my upper back when seated, too, though it doesn’t hit me at 6’1” exactly where I wish it did. But if you’re a tad shorter, it would probably be perfect for your lower back.

One thing I absolutely love on chairs like this, though, is the breathable mesh. I’ll say it time and time again: I run warm, so sitting in some of these very soft, non-mesh chairs I have, as comfortable as they are, I feel like I am sweating within a few minutes. With the mesh on the C300 Pro V2, though, I feel like my body can breathe even for long working sessions.

I’ve used this chair for intense writing sessions, leaning back a bit during virtual internal meetings with my team, more alert and focused in client meetings, and while working on project management and other tasks. Unless I am 100% locked in, which does happen pretty frequently, I am fairly fidgety. My leg is bouncing, my feet are moving, and I find myself twisting a little in my chair, even. So far, with all my movements, I haven't heard a creak or a squeak.

Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2: Final verdict

(Image credit: Collin Probst // Future )

At the end of the day, this is a spectacular chair when you sit in it. The hesitations come with the build time, the complexity, and the design language, but primarily because it’s a distinct chair. It doesn't blend in and takes up a lot of space. So, if you’re the kind of person who likes that, this may be a dream come true, but if not, then this may not be the chair for you, and that’s okay.

However, if you do want a more robust chair, if you have the space for it, and you want a chair that you can fiddle with to make fit your every possible position of work play rest and everything in-between, then this may just be exactly what you are looking for.
