MSI’s Triple Mode OLED monitor is a Computex showstopper and my eyes genuinely can’t wait for it

Dual-mode gaming monitors have been around long enough that the novelty has worn off. MSI has decided that two modes simply aren’t enough and has unveiled the MPG OLED 322URDX36 ahead of Computex 2026.

It is the world’s first Triple Mode gaming monitor, and if the execution is as good as it sounds, it could be one of the few gaming monitors that I’d be genuinely interested in. 

What is Triple Mode and why does it matter?

The MPG OLED 322URDX36 lets you switch between three resolution and refresh rate combinations: 4K at 360Hz, 2K at 520Hz, and FHD at 680Hz. Even when you want to prioritize resolution, you still get 360Hz of refresh rate.

Dual-mode monitors on the market can toggle between 4K and FHD or 2K and FHD, but none reach 360Hz at 4K, and none of them offer three modes. MSI is the first to do both.

The monitor features a 32-inch fifth-generation QD-OLED panel built using Samsung’s Penta Tandem technology, the same architecture that Samsung has used to push brightness and longevity on its recent models.

Peak HDR brightness sits at 1,500 nits, which should help enhance visibility, even in bright rooms. MSI has also carried over its DarkArmor Film from previous models, which improves black levels by 40% compared to regular OLED panels.

The MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 has:

• 3440 x 1440 ultrawide resolution
• 360Hz refresh rate
• 0.03ms response time
• 5th-Gen Tandem QD-OLED
• RGB Stripe subpixel layout

What about connectivity?

The MPG OLED 322URDX36 sports a DisplayPort 2.1a port with UHBR20, which pushes 4K at 360Hz without compression, along with a USB Type-C port that supports 98W power delivery. That USB-C charging speed is meaningful for creators and professionals.

MSI will officially launch the MPG OLED 322URDX36 at Computex 2026, which opens on June 2, 2026. Pricing and availability have not been announced yet. 

While the gaming monitor market has been revisiting the same dual-refresh rate formula for nearly two years now, MSI’ Triple Mode is the first genuinely structural innovation since dual-mode arrived. The supply chain and pricing might still need work, but the technology itself is quite promising.

Dell doubles down on 5G cellular connectivity for its premium business laptops in the US
The new launch is Dell’s clearest statement that 5G cellular connectivity belongs in every premium business laptop, not just enterprise niches.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Dell released a wave of new laptops on May 29, 2026, just four days before Computex 2026 opens in Taipei on June 2. Amid a loaded spec sheet, nearly every flagship model in the new batch offers optional 5G cellular connectivity. 

While the capability has traditionally been reserved for ultraportable or enterprise-grade devices, Dell is signalling that always-connected laptops are no longer a niche requirement.

Acer’s new Swift Air 14 wants to take on the MacBook Neo, but it may be outgunned
Acer finally has an answer to the MacBook Neo, just not a perfect one.

Apple gave Windows laptop makers a serious headache when it launched the MacBook Neo in March at $599. Powered by the A18 chip, it quickly became one of the easiest laptops to recommend for students and casual users who did not specifically need Windows.

Acer is now trying to push back with the Swift Air 14, a 14-inch laptop announced just ahead of Computex 2026. It starts at $699 and uses Intel’s new Core Series 3 chips, also known as Wildcat Lake. On paper, it looks like one of the first serious attempts to build a cheaper Windows laptop that can sit near Apple’s Neo without looking completely outclassed.

5 Menu Bar apps that have earned a permanent spot on my Mac in 2026
I tested dozens of menu bar apps so you don't have to. These five survived.
favorite menu bar apps

One of my favorite things about macOS is its support for Menu Bar apps. These apps are small, live in your Menu Bar, and help you perform tasks without launching a full-blown app. 

Since there’s only a limited number of Menu Bar apps you can install, before it becomes a cluttered mess, I treat it is a prime real estate. Every app wants to park itself up there, but only a few actually earn their spot.
