Ultimate Gaming Experience with MSI Rapid IPS Optix MAG301RF: High Dynamic Range, HD, LED Monitor Review

I'm writing this review as a casual gamer, full-time student, and someone using CAD while working from home. For the price I think it is sufficient. Let me explain why. Comparing apples to apples, you can easily find a widescreen for under $200 at 75Hz. If you need a higher refresh rate, you'll get over $200 right away. If you need more than just games, you might look at PIP, PNP i.e. split screen. You can find the worst Chinese brand and save $10. or you could get one from a company that has a

This monitor fills a very specific niche, but it does it well. I love ultrawides but 34 is too big for me to wear comfortably every day. Also, 2560x1080 is easier to manage than 3440x1440. I have an RTX 3060ti and it's a perfect match for this monitor. Colors out of the box are a bit washed out with very little effect. I had to play around with different settings to get the bright effect I like. My device had no dead pixels and very little glare from the backlight (even at high brightness). HDR

I already have a really good 4K TV, so I don't mind leaving the game setting at 1080p to save money. Honestly, 1080p still looks good. But everyone said I should try the ultra wide so I went for this one and I love it! It's not as big and crazy as some of the other ultra-wides, but it still looks amazing. It's basically the same as a 24 inch monitor with an extra 2-3 inches on each side. What I notice in games is that my HUD isn't that much in the way. But performance-wise, like schoolwork…

I don't normally leave reviews, but I just have to let everyone know how good this monitor is. The monitor arrived in perfect condition. No dead pixels and no glare. When delivered, the monitor was perfectly color-calibrated. The uniformity of the screen lighting is also perfect. I've been waiting for the IPS GSYNC 200hz Ultrawide in 29/30" (2560x1080) for years. It's the first monitor that ticks the box and it's absolutely perfect. There's no other word for it. Up and down on the Stand what is

I love this gaming monitor. The stand is very solid and rotates well. The frame around the glass is very thin on all three sides, and the fourth side is nice and dark. Assembly was a breeze, and the G-sync, 1ms response time, and 200Hz refresh rate truly make this the ultimate gaming monitor at an affordable price. It came with an HDMI cable, a DP cable, and a USB 3.0 cable. I understand why this brand is used in tournaments. The RGB isn't that bright that it bothers me, which I like. This is…

I have an Alienware 25" 240Hz monitor, but against the advice of everyone I play with, I wanted to try ultra widescreen games. I've been given many reasons why a competitive FPS player shouldn't use an ultrawide screen, but after setting up this monitor I gave up on those ideas completely. I am very happy with the image quality and performance. The picture is beautiful, the response is fast, there are no noticeable halos. Also, it's 30 inches, not 34+, and I don't turn my head to see the full…

Bought during the clearance sale hoping to finally get a decent ultrawide monitor. Overall the picture quality was great and I enjoyed playing games like Red Dead Redemption 2 on it. My 2 main problems were that I was playing some games in full screen, if I left a tab and then tried to go back there on the monitor it would gray out like trying to be recognized by my computer again and refused to do that show game. up again. Sometimes it forces me to restart the game. It's happened to many…

If you use this monitor primarily for gaming, you won't be disappointed. The high refresh rate was a big step up from my previous 60Hz monitor, and the extra field of view due to the space on the sides helped. However, gaming is not my main hobby and I also use this monitor for work (computer programming) and watching videos. My main issue with this monitor is color accuracy. Bright red colors always look very washed out compared to my old ASUS ProArt, no matter how hard I calibrated. If you're

This is 100% the best ultrawide monitor you can buy at this price point. Some people said it didn't come with a power adapter, but I did. It can support up to 200Hz with Displayport, not sure about HDMI. There's RGB on the back, nice touch. The stand is really strong and has a certain weight. This is a beautiful polished aluminum stand, but the base is a bit too big, but it fits the best. This is an IPS panel with excellent colors and viewing angles. There are very few ghosts and you won't even

I've been using a 28 inch squarer monitor for almost 12 years but it was starting to have issues, I looked around and noticed this monitor, it had good reviews and Revain had the best price. I didn't realize how much wider the screen is. Until I unboxed it I wasn't sure how much width I needed, I do a bit of video and photo work but I don't play games sooner, much more. I have two desktops, the other desktop is using the exact monitor I was using before it messed up on this desktop, now I use…

I was looking for an ultrawide screen with a flat, high refresh rate that would help me multitask at work, but not too wide that I would break my neck to see my HUD while gaming. Found it and couldn't be happier. This is an eSports monitor so having 200Hz in Valorant, Rocket League and Apex is great. The 30-inch screen gives me just enough more on-screen information that I would miss from a 24-inch screen without being distracting. Also, the colors look great because it's IPS. Would definitely…

This is the first impression of the tldr review as I had it not long ago. I bought directly from Revain and not from a third party. Got everything I needed including the power adapter. So if you're worried, buy certified Revain. The monitor convinces right away, runs fast and has an appealing color reproduction. No noticeable artifacts. Ips bleed was very good on my model, barely noticeable. Out of the box it can be crushingly black, which is weird for ips, likely fixable with some tweaking…

I had a 34-inch 1440p @ 144Hz VA curved ultra-wide panel (top image) and switched to that. It's smoother, with better colors and the perfect size. No regret. You can only set this up with software, console colors will not "pop out". 2) The panel is fast but has some white blur on fast-moving objects. Reduce it with MPRT. It stops gsync/freesync and lowers brightness, MPRT doesn't work on 60hz consoles.3) Good upscaling from 1440p to 1080p with DSR on NVidia due to 94ppi4) Has crosshair overlay…

I first got a more expensive VA curved panel version of this monitor and was very disappointed with this monitor, then I sold this monitor and got this one and am very happy with it. Pros: 1. Colors are really good, even better than my IPS gaming laptop. The contrast is excellent too, set it to sRGB and turn the contrast up to 65 and it will be perfect. And I have a 4K LG OLED.2. Ghosting doesn't exist if you set it to fast response time instead of fast3. The stand is really solid and easy to…

Not exactly looking for a monitor that would blow your mind. I really just wanted some extra real estate to work with when working on projects at home. This monitor is one of the cheapest ultrawide monitors I could find from a bigger brand like MSI that also has a high refresh rate screen. Overall I'm very happy with what I paid for. As I said, you should definitely not expect anything amazing. There are much more expensive monitors out there that will probably make your wildest dreams come…

This monitor is one of the best monitors I have ever owned. The colors need to be adjusted right away because they're a bit washed out, but then it looks amazing. I thought there were some noticeable pixels since I'm running 2560x1440p, but it looks just as good as my 1440p AOC monitor. 200Hz is really nice and feels buttery smooth with no ghosting. Going from a VA panel to an IPS panel really makes a difference. I got this for $250 but I think it's worth shelling out $299. The only problem I…

Excellent colors and picture quality on this monitor. No questions. The only problem is that at maximum response speed, ghosting occurs. Because of this, I installed the middle option and it looks and works well.

It's not well optimized for gaming, it only plays 1080p with games that don't support ultra widescreen like Valorant and Warzone. It also stutters a lot and doesn't stay at 200Hz all the time. But it's a great monitor for productivity and multitasking. good image and color quality.

I scoured the web for an ultra wide monitor that wasn't too big or expensive. After several weeks of searching, I came across the MSI MAG301RF. I ordered it and couldn't be happier. The monitor is big, but not too big. The resolution is excellent and the colors are strong. There's even RGB on the back. 200 Hz as stated. This was a big improvement over 60Hz. Windows sets the refresh rate to 60, so you'll have to change the setting after installation, but it's pretty easy. I would definitely…

I wanted to settle for LG's crappy 29-inch 75Hz monitor, as I'm not interested in huge monitors or resolutions over 1080p (I'm sitting far enough away from the screen). Suddenly this monitor popped up on my recommendation page and I couldn't believe my eyes! UWFHD at 200Hz? You are joking. AND WAS IT FOR SALE? Bought it straight away with no hesitation, arrived in pristine condition in a huge box, came with a power adapter unlike some other reviewers and is just a delight to look at. ***NOTE***
