Review on MSI Non Glare FreeSync Optix MAG301CR2 200Hz Curved Monitor with High Dynamic Range for Immersive Gaming Experience by Casey Zhang

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice design but terrible screen, especially for gaming

This monitor is horrible for gaming, ghosting and blackspot are very bad even when playing at 120+ fps and in the sunlight but especially bad for high contrast games or in the dark. I set the monitor to 200Hz with the fastest response time and it didn't help much. Also, the built in picture presets don't work and I had to set the contrast to 50 because the dynamic range is terrible, blowing out highlights and suppressing blacks. My advice: buy the MSI MAG302RF, the IPS version of this monitor. Here is what I got after selling this POS and I am very happy with it.

Pros
  • 200 Hertz
Cons
  • Upgradable
