good monitor in my view

In general, the monitor is good, the colors are excellent. Management is terrible, you need a remote control or an application. I don't use the LED on the back as you have to use the controls to make changes and it hurts. I use ICUE for all RGB in a Corsair solution. I would recommend this monitor but at a lower price.

Great monitor, I like it

A few dead pixels after about 6 months. It will also lag a bit and cause the cursor to jump around in a simple web search. However, the thing looks great, I would buy it again, even with these problems so far.

Great monitor in my opinion

Read the specs, they changed the gameplay a lot. Multiple inputs for my raspberry pi server and plex if needed. However, it's difficult to find a menu button to change the input. Nothing changes in the rules of the game. Up and down adjustment was not a problem, did not start to drift when tilted or tilted sideways. I've had this monitor for about 2 months.

Best in class in my rating

The work on this monitor is fantastic. My software and game engine layout fit on the same screen. Huge development transcends everything in a single view. The monitor honestly saved me a lot of trouble setting up my work. Beautiful and affordable, you will have an overall immersive experience with whatever content you play on it. I warn you, when you watch movies you have to adjust the resolution to get a picture

Great monitor! One of the best buys on the market.

The picture quality is amazing. You will have an overall immersive experience with any content you play on it. I warn you that when watching movies you need to adjust the resolution so that the picture fills the entire screen. This can be done in the display settings in Windows. Choose a 21:9 aspect ratio in your graphics software, and then see if the content fills the screen.

Returned due to dead pixels

Run through the full eizo monitor test suite and found dead pixels. Otherwise this was a really good value for money product.

Excellent quality and price!

I like the quality of the screen and the games seem flawless. After setting it up correctly I have 0 complaints. The assembly was very smooth and easy, the packaging is perfect. And you can't go wrong with MSI products. I will buy another one in the future.

There are no claims against the manufacturer.

Golden monitor. Exactly what I expected. Revain initially lied about the delivery date and it was too late. Then when it arrived it turned out that they had sent me a 100 hertz version. I had to send it back and order a new one. Revain was able to send the right monitor on the second try and I love it. Although my heyday was cut short after the whole ordeal.

My new work monitor. Love it.

This allows you to work from home on a laptop provided by the company. The resolution is perfect, I can make objects small enough to fit the screen. The colors look good. The LEDs on the back are a bonus. The level is good but I would like it higher.

Died a week later.: my review

The monitor looks good, but it died after a week of use. I notice that the backlight turns on but not the screen itself. I thought it was a signal so I tried another monitor but there was no problem on the other. Then I noticed that the menu wasn't showing. then I realized that the monitor was dead.

Good monitor but problems

A solid monitor for the price, but the one I got had some image quality issues. This appears after using an application with a white title bar written on the display overlaying all pixels in that area. A pixel was also wrongly colored for a short time on this monitor, and sometimes there was a strange blurring of motion with dark colors. Otherwise this product is probably fine, although motion blur can be a bit distracting at times.

Overall a great monitor!

It was pretty easy to set up and when it did, WOW! Amazing quality and picture. There was a small issue that is still a bit buggy, but it's not a deal breaker. There was a dead pixel. Not noticeable unless you look for it. But it is there. Overall the picture from my RTX 2070 Super is amazing!

Amazing product! the best in my rating

Bought this as an upgrade from a stone age monitor. All I can say is that I'm blown away by the quality of the monitor and the smoothness of the game AND the reasonable price compared to other competitors. Small point of criticism - the monitor stand is not too high, so I will mount it soon.

Full lottery. You either get a good one or you don't.

Sigh. For something that costs so much, it's amazing how poor MSI's quality control is. As many others have said, problems right out of the box. Monitor is on, blank black screen. BRAND NEW monitor. Tried different cables, different computers, nothing. Also OSD is not displayed. Incorrect display. I think I have a short end of the stick. First and last purchase of anything MSI. $900+ dollars to buy this table decoration and ship halfway around the world.

Great monitor, suits me

I really like this monitor, it has a clear picture, light weight and fast response, currently my laptop only runs at 100hz but it's enough for me, I usually play Dota 2 and Doom 2016 and although it's forever a spooky picture would have these games but no! really good, also used for professional video editing in Premiere. Conclusion: I would recommend this monitor for gaming and video editing.

Revainrating 2 out of 5

really disappointed

Build quality is top-notch, but the 1ms response speed is a flat lie. I don't know if that applies to my panel either, but blurring is unbearable on some sites, it doesn't have a 1ms pixel-to-pixel response time, and ghosting in games in the dark is awful. Wouldn't recommend it. VA panels are a terrible compromise.
