Best Settings Guide for the MSI MPG 341CQPX (240Hz)

[@bogie170]

Looking forward to the review of this screen. I'm ready to upgrade my old monitor. Whens the review out?

[@tftcentral]

Later today for our Patreon supporters as early access 😀

[@TMACTM]

Thankyou for the video. Are you planning on doing a full review of this monitor?

[@tftcentral]

yes, coming later today!

[@TMACTM]

@@tftcentral Awesome, thanks for the reply :D

[@JaYxHop3]

Will you do a Review an Settings Video for the LG 32GS95UE?

[@tftcentral]

Yes, soon

[@HelveticaBold1]

I’m still waiting for the MPG 321URX to be back in stock. It’s hasn’t been available since before your review.

[@tftcentral]

I’ve seen it a few times in the US at least m. We normally try and tweet with stock alerts

[@HelveticaBold1]

@@tftcentral it’s always listed as coming soon on MSIs web site.

i wish there was a guide for the AW3423DWF i got told that i should remove the icc profile and put srgb creature mode instead of DCI-P3 but imo it looks really dull and bad i dont get why the built in icc was calibrated for dci-p3 mode when most content is srgb

[@tygeezy]

I just ordered this monitor but it won’t be delivered for awhile since it’s out of stock. This video is exactly what I needed.

[@enhhi]

How are you liking this monitor? Got one coming in the mail myself.

[@Peter-zo9uy]

How you like it? I just got one a couple days ago I fucking LOOOOVE it.

[@enhhi]

@@Peter-zo9uy It's incredible really. Everything I do on it just looks and feels 100x better.

[@0daadaadaa0]

Hello~ will you be doing a best settings guide for the MSI G274QPX? It's not exactly new but would love to see it. :)

[@tftcentral]

No plans I’m afraid

[@0daadaadaa0]

@@tftcentral Aww, ok. Thanks for the reply!

[@ProjectSunderGaming]

I just got this monitor but sadly my unit came with fw 0.10 so it's not compatible with either of the profiles you posted. Hopefully MSI releases the 0.18 fw for everyone soon

[@tftcentral]

Should be out soon we are told. For now just follow the steps in the video manually to get to the same end result 😀

[@LaDeXi]

I got mine today and it came with FW 0.08. I do wish to get the 0.18 too because it has more settings too.

[@calebs2crazy]

Would you say the aw3423dw has better picture quality adjustments since there is an option for gamma and dark stabilizer? This 341cqpx does not have it which is disappointing!

[@leonl2259]

Any chance you can do a Best Settings for a Samsung S95D and LG C4, for PC gaming?

[@tftcentral]

Sorry those aren’t screens we’ve reviewed or tested so that won’t be possible

What is best for my old gsming eyes ? Oled or ips or 4k , please

[@oBeebo]

Hey there. Thanks for your very informative video. I want to use user mode to prevent red channel being oversaturated in sRGB mode, but want less saturated colors. Is there any way to achieve this? Red channel in sRGB ode drives me crazy

[@tftcentral]

Switching to the sRGB Mode in the menu would be your simplest and most consistent way to achieve a smaller colour space and reduce the red saturation as a result

[@japhetbesa676]

Do you have a setting guide for MSI G274QPX or can I use these setting instead?

[@tftcentral]

No we don’t I’m afraid. And I wouldn’t recommend using these, no

[@japhetbesa676]

@@tftcentral Oh. Thanks for the heads-up. It's really hard to find any settings for my monitor. 🥲

[@Kangroe]

@@japhetbesa676 did you find any? Been looking for months and can't find any anywhere.

​@@japhetbesa676did you end up finding any?

[@Harpium]

I've never used ICC profiles. Could you elaborate on how I'd use the profile you mentioned? I'm guessing I'd have to load the profile on a per-application basis, as opposed to loading it onto the monitor through the Windows color management settings. Is this assumption correct? Also, the user mode looks overly saturated. Is this really how the monitor is supposed to look?

[@tftcentral]

You can load the profile in windows colour management and that should then work for colour aware applications. It should map the native wide colour gamut of the user mode back to sRGB for those applications which will help reduce that over saturation you’re experiencing. That is caused by the very wide colour gamut of the panel, much wider than the sRGB colour space that most normal SDR content is designed for. The other option would be to use the sRGB preset mode in the menu for SDR mode which would clamp the colours back and remove that over saturation. Try that too

[@MrUltimateX]

@@tftcentral Are you able to use ICC profiles on Mac as well?

[@tftcentral]

@MrUltimateX I believe so but not something we’ve really explored

[@Strorm.]

I was wondering if under the screen size setting if you can make the screen imitate a 27 inch monitor at 1440p similar to how the Asus 34 inch can?

[@tftcentral]

You can on the latest firmware which should be released very soon

[@mileskt9232]

Can this monitor use Nvidias DSR upscale with HDMI if I want to push 5120x2160? This is a deal breaker for me if I can't do this?

[@tftcentral]

Sorry this video actually shouldn’t have appeared yet. The intention was to publish it after the review which is being finished at the moment. This topic will be covered in the review, but yes those features CAN be used 😀

[@mileskt9232]

​@tftcentral Thank you so, so much for this information. I have it preordered with amazon. Has msi mentioned a release date?

[@tftcentral]

@mileskt9232 last we were told was July in USA, August for Europe

[@creepingjesus00]

Are these settings the best for gaming? Thank you

[@tftcentral]

Yep

[@manuelhernandez771]

Good, thank you very much for the settings, one question, I have downloaded the .icc profile from your web page, but I have activated it and I don't notice absolutely no change, however with others I do notice it, is it normal? I mean the changes are almost imperceptible?

[@tftcentral]

That's "normal" as the settings change made to the OSD get the screen to a position where it is as close to the correct gamma, white point and colour temp as possible. in the case of this screen it can get very close already through those changes. The calibration and creation of the profile does a couple of things. firstly it will make further (minor) corrections to the gamma and colour accuracy, but because it was so close before these won't be immediately obvious to the naked eye. It's not like activating the profile will make sudden massive, obvious changes - it actually ideally should never do that for any screen, as the screen should ideally be as close as possible before the profile has to make corrections. secondly it will carry out colour space corrections to map the native gamut (assuming you've left the screen in the native wide gamut mode?) back to sRGB for use in colour aware applications. one way to potentially see this in action is to create a simple red/green/blue image in paint. save it, open it in windows photo app (the default) and you should see those colours alter a little, especially red, when you enable and disable the profile. that's the profile carrying out the sRGB emulation within that app. i just tried that on my screen and saw the changes it was making. to see that in action you'd prob need a good way to be able to enable/disable the profile quickly and easily. anyway, rest assured it's carrying out the further corrections on top of the monitor recommended settings :)

[@JacksonPvt]

Are the settings also in writing somewhere? I find it difficult to follow up.

[@tftcentral]

I’m afraid not but you could slow the playback speed perhaps to follow a bit more easily?

[@JacksonPvt]

@@tftcentral Play slower is a good idea. Not everyone knows it as well as you do. ☺️

[@LaDeXi]

Unfortunately the multi logo detection, taskbar detection and boundary detection can't be turned on when using G-Sync (adaptive-sync) 😥

[@holdick5647]

Same bro, This is some kind of betrayal, why didn't they implement support for all the functions in a $900 monitor?

[@tribad4190]

Thank you, do you plan to compare it to Gigabyte AORUS MO34WQC2 OLED ?

[@tftcentral]

possibly, although no current plans. Actual review of the MPG 341CQPX coming later today :)

[@B0mbshell_]

Hey guys, I just got this monitor and tried to apply your profile through the MSI Intellignce app, and it errored out saying that it's not in the right format. Can you guys maybe recheck and see what the issue is? Or just give me the values and set up so that I can manually replicate it.

[@tftcentral]

Those do seem to change as they change firmware annoyingly. It’s the same values as in this video so just follow those through manually 🙂

Same panel but some of the features are different

[@cortezzpl4798]

What gen is this panel 1 ,2 or 3? The same what in AW ?

[@tftcentral]

It’s gen 2, so newer than the gen 1 panel used in the Dell 34” models. Has a higher refresh rate as well as the second gen longevity enhancements Samsung introduced for the panel tftcentral.co.uk/articles/second-generation-qd-oled-panels-from-samsung-improvements-and-changes-for-2023
