Content

Hi everyone. We want to start giving our Patreon audience more say in the content we produce at TFTCentral and offering more perks for our Insiders. Something new we thought we'd try is to take nominations from those members and then create a poll to vote on which monitor we should review next.

How will this work?

1) Probably once a month we will create a new post on Patreon for our Insider tier and above and seek NOMINATIONS for suggested monitors we should review. If you agree with someone else's nomination, you can second it as well.

2) We will gather the various nominations made and look in to the feasibility of getting hold of a sample of the screens - this may depend on various factors like PR teams in the UK, stock availability, release dates etc.

3) We'll try and narrow it down to 5 nominations that we can get hold of in theory, and then create a poll on the website and perhaps on our Twitter for you and the rest of our audience to VOTE. The actual monitors in the vote will only be those nominated by our Insiders, but a wider vote will allow more people to vote as well.

4) We'll then get hold of the winning monitor and review it. Then repeat this again hopefully monthly.

Timelines

We'd expect the whole process to take around a month, so nominations received now would likely result in the review being published in around a month's time, or early April. This process will hopefully get slicker then in time.

Nominate now!

So, let's have some nominations of screens we should look to review in the near future!

Suggestions and comments also welcome. Thanks

I'll take a bullet by nominating MSI MPG 272URX, except I would really love a deep dive into the difference in feature sets compared to PG27UCDM. 1) Is the lack of Dolby Vision on the MSI really relevant at all for PC gaming / PS5 gaming / Xbox gaming / content? 2) Is the proximity sensor on the ASUS good or bad after all? 3) Is the VRR antiflicker on the ASUS more than just a hardware-imposed limit on LFC floor? Can I achieve the same by CRU? Any caveats to either? 4) How do the OLED care features stack up? 5) [Pet peeve tangent angle bordering on a separate video] Why does the ASUS still come with such an aggressive space hog of a stand? Why does the MSI still only have 2 USB-A ports?

I would like to see a review and calibration settings for the MSI MPG 322URX.

TFTCentral

hi Don, thanks for the suggestion. I would not expect the MPG 322URX to be any different to the MPG 321URX in performance or associated settings as it's basically the same screen, just with DP 2.1 added now instead of DP 1.4. If you're planning to buy one, you can safely refer to our MPG 321URX review for more info :)

The MSI 500hz isn’t available yet is it? It’s meant to have 2.1A DP vs asus 1.4 isn’t it? Looking to upgrade from my 34 gen 1 UW OLED and can’t decide between high refresh 2K vs 240hz 4K. (Felt like going back to 2 screens might be better as some compat issues with UW). Was a bit concerned about the power required for 4K in the future! Even with a 5090.

TFTCentral

That's the currently released spec, although these 500Hz screens aren't due until H2, and so there's an outside chance Asus might revise their spec and update their model to DP 2.1 as well. They haven't released a product page yet, and it wasn't even showcased at CES in Jan so it might still be in early development.

Thanks! Out of interest are there any dual mode 32" screens that are out that currently support Displayport 2.1?

Daniel Lucas

Thanks! This is super confusing haha sorry I am pretty sure I bothered you a few times over the last decade when monitor buying. I don't suppose there is a site/table anywhere that shows what screens currently have 2.1? I feel like it might make more sense to wait for a good 2.1DP screen at this point - its not like my current display is terrible just a bit out of date

TFTCentral

No bother at all. Not aware of any tables, but if you search on our site for DP 2.1 it should bring up news pieces of screens that have it. But be mindful of those which have only lower speed UHBR rates which may not offer an uncompressed video signal anyway.

can you review the MSI MPG 491CQPX 240Hz QD-OLED monitor? The panel is same as Samsung Odyssey G9 but the implementation could be different. I can't find any popular monitor site review that.
