Review on πŸ–₯️ MSI Creator PS321QR 165Hz 2560X1440 Display with High Dynamic Range, Height Adjustment, Anti Glare Screen, IPS Panel by David Hansen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Overall a great monitor.

It took me a while to find a color profile I liked. It could just be a difference in how light comes out of an IPS panel versus my TN panel. The colors seem overly saturated, but there's a fantastic on-screen menu to tweak the settings to my needs. I prefer 16:9 for productivity and gaming. The picture quality is just fantastic, there were no problems with games. I've tried games from different genres with different graphic fidelity and FPS caps and overall I'm happy with it. The OSD can be installed using drivers for a small program that is easier to set up with a mouse and keyboard than with an on-screen display. 5/5 for performance, 5/5 for non-FPS games, and 4/5 or so for FPS. It can be a matter of getting used to the jittery response when going from 24" to 32" but there are some great reviews on Youtube for more info. 09/20/2021 **Update** After using it for a while I'm still happy with it. I don't use HDR on my PC and have disabled local dimming on the monitor. It might have been worth it for some, but I felt like it took away from my experience with some of the games I've played. I would also like to say that while I can play FPS normally by adjusting the game resolution, it doesn't quite reach the level of my BenQ 24.5" 144hz model with CS:GO and other Twitch/Reflex games. Part It's not a downside, but that has a lot to do with how close I get to the size and size, I'd say it's not that "clean" with click motions either, but I'll stand by what I said still rate positively over other RPG games and 1440p+ movies or shows, 4X strategies or games that don't typically rely on those instantaneous clicks to enjoy Accuracy The color reproduction is incredible and I can easily customize it to suit my needs OSD menu: I see more Excel or business data on smaller monitors than its size Price is fair but steep after the release of some new monitors And while it's a lot more expensive LG's 48" OLED would be for a long time view many Wouldn't have been a better buy if screen real estate was an issue. Although smaller displays are definitely a must for FPS at this point. Hope this helps someone!
