Great monitor at a great price

I bought this monitor after looking at several similar sized monitors, both curved and not, and I am very happy with it, it turned on straight out of the box with no issues. Will definitely recommend to friends and will buy again if needed!

Screen needs height

I bought 2 of these for twin install. So far I love her. My only issue is that the screen isn't slightly taller to compensate for its width. Otherwise it is a great monitor and I can only recommend it.

Great monitor. - my new rating

I bought two of these monitors for myself and my brother and they were both packaged very well. The monitors themselves are amazing as the colors on them are amazing and the IPS panel really brings out the beauty of this monitor. It's not curved either, but a lot of curved monitors are VA-type, and I really wanted a widescreen monitor with an IPS panel. It also came with power supplies, so I'm glad I got lucky.

Good offer price. 4K widescreen computer monitor

It's like upgrading an old 27-inch monitor. I use it in the home office. mainly for daily use and photo/video editing. A 30 inch screen makes a big difference. Be 4K with an adjustable stand at a bargain price. Made a deal I couldn't resist

Very good MSI Ultrawide Gaming Monitor!

This is a very good MSI ultra wide gaming monitor with a beautiful Full HD 1080p screen. I think its high responsiveness could be good for gaming, but also good for stock price monitoring or for business purposes if you have many tabs open at the same time. This maximizes the performance of the ultra-wide screen.

My husband loves this!

I bought this monitor for my husband as a birthday present. He loves to! The setup part was easy. Adjusted the settings and the picture is awesome! He tested it in several games and there were no lags or late replies. I recommend

Excellent except...: my rating

Great monitor and picture quality for the price. However, after 16 days of use, a bunch of stuck pixels suddenly appeared. Luckily still within the time window in which I can still return and exchange. My replacement monitor is on the way and hopefully won't have the same issue. Otherwise I would give five stars.

There was no power cord included

As other reviewers said, this happened to them, no power cord was included. MSI support is useless and unresponsive to requests and Revain can only offer an RMA. I would just accept the cable in the mail, but that doesn't seem like an option.

It's not worth it! - my new rating

I had to order this product twice, the first never showed up so I had to get a refund for it and then order again. They didn't send me the first one no matter what I tried they just offered a refund and I was forced to buy it again a few days later for another $40. The monitor itself offers very few options for changing settings and what's on offer is ill defined with a crappy and terrible user experience on both PC and phone.

Monitor pros and cons

Love how big and light it is, as well as the amazing refresh rate. It was easy to install on my desktop mount and set up on my desk as it is so light. The only thing that worries me is that some games have a black border as some don't support ultra wide but only 2560x1080 resolution itself.

Excellent monitor.: my review

I can't say I dislike anything about this monitor. I've had it for about 2 months now and it's been a real pleasure to play so far!

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER

As others have said and I probably should have seen, this seller is notorious for not including a power cord for the monitor. It is completely useless for them, along with Revain and MSI, to seek a replacement from this seller. DO NOT BUY.

Came without power supply

I can't use the monitor because an idiot at MSI decided to put a pop out slot on a perforated cardboard for the power supply. This is groupthink at the highest level. The box came with the slot open and no power supply. It also arrived on Sunday, so msi support is closed.

I love the wide screen

I originally got this for my workstation and whenever I play story based games on another computer. However, after seeing other people's gaming stations, I saw the potential of this monitor screen when it is 4 screens, in short it has a great view and a great HZ and I love the RGB lighting it has has when it comes to the mid dragon MSI. or similar.

Surgical monitor is good for me

The monitor arrived early and the seller shipped it to Hawaii. 10+ stars. Great monitor for Lost Ark and other games you may need widescreen for.

maybe it's just me in my view

I would like a video or photo of my problem, but unfortunately that is not possible. It's not me, whether it's just me or the monitor. On static images and YouTube videos, the image and frame look perfectly sharp. I set Windows to 200Hz and enabled free sync in both Radeon Software and the monitor. I'm using the ultra-wide 29-inch LG IPS panel at 2560 x 1080 and only at 75Hz. The FreeSync feature has never worked very well on this monitor, but the picture has always been great. Switching to…

Ideal for racing games

After completing my gaming laptops and building my first desktop PC, I was looking for a new monitor to pair with my RTX 3060ti. I mainly play simulation and racing games (American Truck Simulator, Dirt Rally, Farming Simulator) so I was attracted by the wide aspect ratio. I knew a 1440p widescreen monitor would exceed what I was asking my GPU to do, so the MAG301RF seemed like the perfect solution. Not massive, but the extra side room makes a big difference. The price of this monitor is…

DO NOT BUY - Power adapter not included

I got a monitor for my son's school computer and it didn't have an AC adapter. Now I see that I am not alone with this problem. I now have the pleasure of calling MSI to try and get the power cord, which will likely take weeks. waste of time and money. Buy something else from another seller. not worth the hassle and I can't even figure out how to remove or overlook the power cord. cheesy.

It was very easy to unbox and set up, immediately maxed out the refresh rate, played a few games and was impressed with how smooth it was to use. Haven't spent much time with him but so far so good.

Buy this if you want the best budget ultrawide screen

IPS ultra wide 200Hz flat panel for less than $300. This is currently the best ultra wide monitor in terms of value for money on the market. The screen diagonal is 29.5 inches, the resolution is 2560 x 1080. The pixel density is quite good for 30 inches at this resolution. It's also easier to increase frame rates at this resolution than at 3440 x 1440. Input lag and response time are very good for this monitor. The colors are juicy and the brightness is more than sufficient. The image quality…
