Review on MSI Optix G32CQ4 1500R Curved Gaming 🖥️ Monitor, 31.5-inch, 2560X1440, 165Hz Refresh Rate, Tilt Adjustment, ‎OPTIXG32CQ4 by Juan Bednarz

I bought this monitor to pair with my desktop while gaming on my TV. It was immediately blown away by the size, refresh rate, and responsiveness, especially at this price point ($309.99 at the time of purchase). The monitor was physically very easy to set up, literally taking 2 minutes. The issues I have had with this monitor are very minor and to be honest they can be classified as nitpicks but they are still issues for me. First, the monitor is advertised at 165Hz, but you only get that via a DisplayPort cable, but it only comes with an HDMI cable, which maximizes the refresh rate to 144Hz. Second, my particular block required a lot of adjustments to get the color I was happy with (something I'm very familiar with and know should be green initially showed up as yellow before adjustment). Third, the brightness isn't the best, but was expected based on the listed characteristics. Fourth, I couldn't find many reviews on this monitor but was trying to find out if it was G-Sync compatible like some other FreeSync compatible monitors and saw someone say it was. I couldn't install it. The setting does not appear in my NVIDIA Control Panel. Aside from these very minor issues, the monitor is phenomenal. Edit: It's G-Sync compatible. I was able to get it working. Didn't realize I had to use a display cable as I used the HDMI that came with the box to get native 144Hz.
