Review on MSI Optix MAG342CQR Curved Gaming Monitor with 1500R Curvature, Pivot Adjustment, Adaptive Sync, and 3440X1440 HD Resolution by Shawn Moran

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent monitor, suits me

I've been using this monitor for several months, everything is fine. I think you will be forced to find the best 34 inch 144Hz 1440p curved monitor in the 400 price range. One problem I had with this display is ghosting. This only happens when you have pure white on black, so it's not a common occurrence. This can happen in Windows settings when you have dark mode enabled and move the cursor, or when you have white text on a black background and start scrolling. The other issue is that the stand is absolutely awful; it's a big tripod, about a foot deep. I suppose it's no problem if you don't want to put anything underneath, but I want to put my DAC/amp underneath so I'll replace it. In addition, it is a monitor with excellent performance and good looks.

Pros
  • 1ms response time - eliminates screen tearing and choppy frame rates
Cons
  • quality
