MSI has introduced the new MEG X OLED, a 34-inch ultrawide gaming monitor that adds 360Hz refresh rate support to QD-OLED panels. The pairing of OLED and ultra-high refresh rates is aimed at competitive gamers that want the instant response of OLED panels without compromising on frame rates. Included in the new monitor are dedicated AI features that improve images as well as syncing with game status alerts and lighting.

360Hz on a 3440×1440 panel. That is a massive bandwidth hog. I do not see this being useful for anything other than niche competitive titles.
