Fur display and broken pixels on top of that

So I bought this monitor during Prime Day and got a pretty good deal (about $175), so some of the reviews are higher than I would have given otherwise. I was surprised when I received this monitor and it was significantly less bright than my 10 year old monitor. Ehh, I should have checked the nits (250 total) before buying so I don't get mad at them. The display is only 1080p but it doesn't seem that sharp, especially when I zoom in on text/documents. Also, you can raise, lower, and tilt the…

Excellent monitor, the best in my rating

I use this as a second monitor and it's holding up fantastic. Comes with everything you need to mount it on your monitor arm. (Mine is installed next to another curved 27" msi monitor). The only problem I had was that my monitors have different resolutions so the mouse gets stuck at the very top when trying to scroll. Not the product's fault though, just my careless attention to detail. love it though!

Beware of color streaks

I bought two of these to replace some old monitors that stopped working and I want to say that this is a great monitor because it has a lot of great things in it. However, there is one key issue that really messes things up - the color bar. No matter what the resolution, refresh rate, or response time, everything looks and feels terrible due to color banding. I've searched online and found other people had the same problem but couldn't find a solution. I contacted their support team but was…

Terrible screen suits me

Firstly the monitor came with a dead pixel, nothing happened to it, it booted up straight away with a dead pixel with no previous damage I had while setting up. The screen is terrible. so much "rgb shift" on the monitor, a lot was pixelated, i couldn't see which logos were half the time. You can't disable high refresh rate motion blur on an advertised monitor. As for the viewing angle, they lied, if I'm not looking at the center of the screen all I see is the vignette and horrible viewing angle

The lack of setting options for the price category is puzzling.

It amazes me how in 2022 we can have monitors that don't offer basic settings. Big size, great colors, but you only have access to brightness, contrast, 5 levels of sharpness (0 is low to medium sharpness, so if you want less you won't get it) and color temperature. The black levels on this monitor are terrible and the backlighting is incredibly powerful. Imagine the stereoscopic effect of a bright white monitor in one eye and an incredibly dark monitor in the other. It's less noticeable if…

Excellent value for money and quality

This monitor supports G-Sync at this price point, which is pretty amazing. Fully VESA compliant, although it's worth noting that the VESA mounting points are slightly recessed into the back panel. BUT MSI offers extensions if there are gap issues for your particular mount. The user interface is excellent, fairly reliable. If you're having trouble enabling G-Sync, use the UI on the back of your monitor to select "Gaming" and then scroll down to the ADAPTIVE SYNC setting. Enable this setting and…

Not compatible with G-Sync

I bought the monitor after seeing it listed as G-Sync compatible as I just bought an RTX3070Ti. I have connected a monitor but the display is not compatible. Someone made a false advertisement and now I have to return the monitor. If I had an AMD GPU this monitor would be amazing.

When replacing after a month of use, a dead pixel appears

This is the second monitor of this brand that I have because the first one had a stuck pixel and a month after replacing it the pixel in the center of the screen is dying! This brand of monitor is so bad for the price you pay for it. You only pay for the name

Don't buy terrible quality games!

This monitor is not worth the money at all, the video quality is terrible, you can see every pixel. I know it's not my graphics card or processor. I have a 3660TI and an I7 11k. I gave the monitor to my wife for her craft computer....

I'm in X Game mode

I picked it up on day one and have been hooked since I've had it. The refresh rate and response times make any game look so much better, whether it's on PC or console, and also reminded me how much better a game is on a small screen than a big one. Was the missing piece for my table

  • Bad customer support.

I've had computer monitors since 1985 and these are the best. Colors are vibrant, construction is solid, multiple ports including USB, HDMI, DP. The bad part, at least for me, about the Revain is the lack of manual controls. It must be downloaded from the MSI website and will save you hours of frustration in customizing it to suit your needs. If you get the manual though, a good buy and way better than many mediocre reviews including those saying there is no height adjustment. For real? Do you…

Good monitor with good refresh rate!

I bought this monitor on sale at a very good price and I have to say it was money well spent. For a 27 inch monitor capable of hitting 165Hz at this price point, I'm blown away. I also like the RGB lighting on the back. The only thing that worries anyone buying this monitor is its weight if you plan to mount it on a dual or triple monitor stand.

MSI Monitor: my review

Revain Prime Time Sale on July 12th and 13th. I had to give up my old Sanyo 32 TV. I saw it on sale at 43% off, I couldn't do without it. I forgot that monitors don't transmit sound. Multiple speakers. gaming present. Matched with MSI GTX 16 laptop and games are top notch Comes with a cool stand that swivels up and down and also folds up and down Sturdy Very impressed Would highly recommend this product Revain Prime was delivered quickly with no damage.
