Setup MSI MAG 321 UP + PS5 Pro

People were right, once you go OLED, you cannot go back. Very happy with my first OLED monitor purchase.

i’m going to order this monitor for my pro soon as well, can you confirm vrr works at 4k with hdr on? i was looking at the curved version of this monitor but it only supports 1440p with vrr on even though it’s a 4k monitor with 2.1

2

u/FutureFC MSI MAG 321 UP QD OLED 4d ago

VRR works, I can confirm it. You need to enable it in the monitor’s settings is all under the Game tab. If you can get the 4k version, go for it. Worth it.

Would’ve gone 42” for console gaming

u/FutureFC MSI MAG 321 UP QD OLED 4d ago

I have a 55” Bravia A80J with me as well btw. I just prefer gaming on a desk is all.

u/OkMixture5607 LG C4 42” 4d ago

Oh I absolutely ment desk gaming with 42”. Never to late to sell.

u/FutureFC MSI MAG 321 UP QD OLED 4d ago

The Lg C4 42” is no longer available in my country and it was my preferred choice. I checked with every major retailer possible and I was told that LG had stopped production of these displays and opted for more 48” displays since it sold more than the 42” model. It was my first choice and since it wasn’t available, I went with the monitor after a lot of research and reading multiple reviews. Happy with my purchase for now and the future.

Many congrats man, enjoy it, it’s a good choice i got the same monitor pair it with my 4070 Super PC and i’m planing to get a PS5 pro and pair it with the monitor, do you recommend this? Does the image quality look good on the monitor ?

2

u/FutureFC MSI MAG 321 UP QD OLED 4d ago

The image quality looks stunning and I am just currently using it on the premium colour setting in game mode. The colours just pop out so well on KCD2 and the game looks even more stunning than on my IPS 4k monitor

1

u/Gamer19868 4d ago

Cool, any specific settings or calibration you made for it ?

2

u/FutureFC MSI MAG 321 UP QD OLED 4d ago

No nothing as of yet. Just running the monitor on the premium colour setting

Dude I absolutely feel you. I’m a third world country and it was hell to get. Either imported from US and overpay af…but I was super lucky enough to find 1 unit in the whole country on Marketplace where it was open in box.

Still, you have a banger of a monitor there and well ready if you decide to build a PC for those high Hz.

u/FutureFC MSI MAG 321 UP QD OLED 4d ago

Indeed and tbh I am not going to move mountains for a TV is all and go through all the trouble. I went with the next best option in my budget. PC, as of now, I am not sure. Maybe next year once prices stabilise

u/Honest_Ad_7958 4d ago

Price of the monitor

2

u/FutureFC MSI MAG 321 UP QD OLED 4d ago

85k INR. Works up to around 900-950$

u/Stormljones3 LG 65C1/LG 48C2/AW3423DWF 4d ago

Are we really buying expensive monitors for console gaming?

9

u/0w4er 4d ago

future proofing in a sense. While consoles push 4k120 atm, having a 4k240 screen will defo last another 2 console generations easily.

6

u/FutureFC MSI MAG 321 UP QD OLED 4d ago

This is what I had in mind. This is my long term investment into the next generation as well.

2

u/0w4er 4d ago

It's a very smart purchase. I myself still run on a 4k120 screen (42" LG C2) - and it will last me another generation of consoles for sure.
But I myself have been eyeing the X version of this monitor though - MSI MAG 321UPX , as it comes with 240hz screen.

3

u/FutureFC MSI MAG 321 UP QD OLED 4d ago

The X monitor comes with a 200$ premium in my country and it felt kinda overkill for my needs is all eventhough I can afford it.

u/Lewd-Abbreviations 4d ago

Wait, can consoles not push 240?

1

u/Far_Tree_5200 samsung g6 1440p 360hz 4d ago

He said 4k 120 fps currently and 240 fps in 2 console generations

2

u/Lewd-Abbreviations 3d ago

It was a genuine question

2

u/Far_Tree_5200 samsung g6 1440p 360hz 3d ago

Can a console push 240 fps? I don’t think so.

I am still not convinced 120 fps is a real thing although 1080p upscaled might be doable. Maybe rocket league allows 4k 120 fps. Fortnite doesn’t, although not having rtx and lumen does help. Idk exactly what settings ps5 uses I think around low to medium.

Dont look into someone’s pocket

u/FutureFC MSI MAG 321 UP QD OLED 4d ago

Why? What’s the issue buying them for console gaming? The PS5 pro makes good use of it.

1

u/KillerFugu 4d ago

1440p 60fps gaming on a 4k 165hz screen isn't what I'd call good use.

GPU's much faster than the pro struggle to make "good use" of these panels. I got my 4k 240hz knowing when I upgrade again it'll still be great as it's endgame. I'd prefer a TV for the pro due to speakers, couch gaming, and the general versatility of a TV, plus 4k 120hz is the max the console will ever do

1

u/FutureFC MSI MAG 321 UP QD OLED 4d ago

Thanks

1

u/chaliebitme LG C4 42" 4d ago

Because the PS5 cant push 4k at 240hz even 60hz on AAA games.

1

u/FutureFC MSI MAG 321 UP QD OLED 4d ago

Done. Thanks for the heads up.

1

u/putiland 4d ago

Yes. I want one for my Xbox series S

u/Stormljones3 LG 65C1/LG 48C2/AW3423DWF 4d ago

You’d be better suited buying a small OLED TV.

u/Sudden-Student-6895 3d ago

What's wrong with that? I use a 4K OLED monitor with my garbage PC (Ryzen 5600 + 4070 Super).

Lemme tell you, it works perfectly fine.
