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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent for the price - BUT.

tl; dr The monitor is pretty good considering it's curved, 30 inches, 2560 x 1080 res, 200Hz, AMD Freesync, anti-glare, HDR, like daaaaaamn. All these things together make for a really great gaming and viewing experience. HOWEVER there is a ghosting problem, I've read many other talks about it, but THERE IS A SOLUTION. Make sure you're running at 200Hz, which requires using a display port. I would also recommend a higher quality Displayport cable than the one that comes with this monitor. Use the small nipple on the back of the monitor to navigate to the Response Time setting, set it to the fastest and enable AMD Freesync in the same menu. If you have an Nvidia GPU, be sure to look for the G-SYNC setting (it's just another word for AMD Freesync) and enable it in both fullscreen and borderless fullscreen games. Boom, ghosting problem solved.
