While the 4K PS321UR monitor is perfect for creators who need more screen real estate, the 1440p-165Hz PS321QR monitor is a great solution to test the latest games and enjoy a fluid experience.
The 4K resolution of the PS321UR allows creators to have a larger workspace, enhancing productivity by making multi-tasking much easier. Moreover, you can have multiple applications, assets open at the same time, enhancing your workflow and allowing you to get work done faster.
On the other hand, the PS321QR’s 165 Hz refresh rate is an excellent option for game and VR developers – giving them a brilliant display to design and test their games with high refresh rates to ensure that their audience has a smooth gaming experience.
Both monitors boast a color-accurate IPS panel with 100% sRGB, 99% Adobe RGB, and 95% DCI-P3 coverage, in addition to an HDR600 certification to make color-sensitive work easier and content like games and movies more vibrant.
To make life even easier for creators, the PS321 Series monitors come bundled with MSI's Creator OSD – a novel dashboard that allows professionals to fine-tune color profiles, manage their workspace, and even tweak system functionality to allot more compute power to applications that need it, when they need it!

The MAG342CQR is the world’s first Ultrawide 21:9 1000R WQHD Gaming Monitor. It features a 1000R curved display, a curvature that matches the curvature of human vision almost perfectly. To make this curve possible, some innovative engineering was necessary to ensure that the structural integrity of the monitor remained solid – resulting in an extremely robust design and build.

Two input options, HDMI™ and USB Type-C, will give you support for a variety of devices.
While its 240Hz refresh rate will appeal to gamers who want a quality display to play games on-the-go, content creators and professionals will love its portability that ensures they retain access to a quality monitor to work even when they're away from their workstations.
In addition to being a great monitor, the MAG161 is a complete entertainment unit with two speakers built into the slim form factor for consuming media without giving up on either portability or quality.
