Hello everyone,
I've owned my MSI MPG 341CQPX (X36) QD-OLED for only 3 days and today I experienced a strange issue that has me a bit worried about the long-term health of the panel.
While playing Escape from Tarkov, I initially thought the visual artifacts were caused by the game itself. However, within approximately 5 minutes the issue became progressively worse and more noticeable. The screen started showing large horizontal bands/artifacts across most of the display, similar to what can be seen in the attached photo.
At that point, I turned the monitor off and left it powered down for about 10 minutes. After turning it back on, I manually ran the Panel Care process three consecutive times. Following the third Panel Care cycle, the issue completely disappeared and the monitor returned to normal operation.
What concerns me is that the monitor is only a few days old and I have been extremely careful with OLED protection features from day one:
- The monitor firmware was updated to the latest available version on the first day of ownership.
- I always allow Panel Care to run whenever the monitor requests it.
- Pixel Shift is enabled and set to Fast.
- All OLED Care and burn-in protection features are enabled.
- Static Image Detection is set to the highest protection level.
- Logo Detection is enabled.
- Taskbar Detection is enabled.
- Dimming protection settings are enabled and configured for maximum protection.
- I have not disabled any OLED protection features.
- Temporary image retention
- A Panel Care compensation issue
- Firmware-related behavior
- A signal/cable issue
- Or a potential panel defect
I would appreciate any feedback, especially from users who have owned the monitor for a longer period of time. Since the monitor is only 3 days old, I would like to know whether this is considered normal behavior or if it could indicate a future hardware problem.
I also did a ticket at service and waiting for a answear
Thank you.
