MagyarUpdated | Asus and MSI quietly extend OLED monitor warranties with improved OLED burn-in coverage
Update - February 10
Asus is now offering up to three years warranty against OLED burn-in, too. Spotted by TFT Central, the coverage currently only extends to the ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM, a monitor that the company showcased in August 2023 and likely derives from a Gen 3 Samsung QD-OLED panel on account of its 4K resolution and 240 Hz refresh rate. Please see our launch article for more hardware details.

Asus and MSI have revised the guarantees associated with their new OLED monitors. On the other hand, the former has now confirmed that certain SKUs are afforded a two-year warranty, up from a year previously. It is worth noting that this warranty extends to panel burn-in. As a result, Asus should provide a free repair if burnt-in elements or pixels are noticed within 24 months of the monitor's first purchase.
As TFT Central notes, the warranty expansion includes new options like ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP, ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM, ROG Swift OLED PG39WCDM and ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD, among others. Meanwhile, MSI has countered this offer by upping its comparable warranty to three years. Likewise, its warranty also covers panel burn-in during this time frame.
Currently, MSI is offering this warranty across seven models, which it sells as the MAG 271QPX, MPG 271QRX, MAG 321UPX, MPG 321URX, MAG 341CQP, MEG 342C and MPG 491CQP. However, MSI considers a panel to be suffering from burn-in when a brightness differential of over 3.5% is visible across 50% grey colour areas. Also, the company will only honour its warranty coverage if MSI OLED Care remains activated, which comprises various features like Pixel Shift, Pixel Refresh and logo recognition, a tool that automatically dims static content. Please see MSI's website for more details.
