🎮 Immerse in Gaming with MSI MPG ARTYMIS 343CQR: 3440X1440, 165Hz Curved Monitor with Height Adjustment and Anti-Glare Screen Review

I'm very impressed with most aspects of this monitor, especially the performance. I bought it mainly for gaming and thought it would take some getting used to, but it isn't. The monitor feels very natural almost to the point where I don't notice much of a difference when gaming compared to my old 16:9. However, I notice a significant increase in performance. I'm just back at school and being able to open the research source, project, rubric and separate web browser at the same time makes a huge

I didn't want to return this model because it looks amazing, but I had two issues with the monitor. Black smearing while driving is a deal breaker. For example, in the game No Man Sky, when you looked back at your ship in space or at the ground while walking, the stars left a black trail. In a fast-paced game like Battlefield V, mountains left a black trail against a blue sky on some maps. This is very distracting and violates the terms of the contract. Another issue is that when enabling…

For the price, the quality of these monitors can't be beat. Lots of ways to set up the video output and if you have 2 you can put them side by side, perfect for racing, flight sims and some shooters. Overall, I'm very happy I bought these monitors. RGB is also a very nice touch.

It took about 4 days to fully set up and run this monitor, but I'm very happy with it, for both office work and gaming. I switched to MSI MPG ARTYMIS 343CQR from another great monitor, ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q. The main reason for the upgrade was that I needed more screen real estate for office work and I prefer a single monitor over a dual monitor configuration. Below are my observations in no particular order. 1) It's really curved. In the first hour of looking at this monitor, I felt my head…

I bought the monitor a year ago and have been using it for desktop development ever since. I like him. Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio and all other tools look and work best on this big monitor. It's easy to open two editors on the same screen and there is no "tearing" problem when using two monitors. I have poor eyesight and the curvature of the screen at 1000p helps to see everything without problems.

Update 4/23/2022: Got a second one and it's worse than the first. It doesn't appear to be dead pixels, but damage to the underlying reflective layer. There's a 1/4 inch wide diagonal gray bar that initially looked like dead pixels, but if you look at it from an angle (e.g. while running something like Undead Pixel) you'll see that the pixels are blinking normally , but the level below is scratched or something. Extremely disappointed. I am sending this back. I love MSI stuff and they've always…

I've been using this monitor for about a year now and it's an amazing monitor, especially for my first high end 1440p monitor. The curve is perfect for replacing two monitors and works great with my KVM switch. The gaming picture quality and 165Hz refresh rate are great for the value.

So I bought this $500 open box monitor to replace my old LG Ultradewide 60Hz display and the difference between day and night. GAMES: My previous monitor had an IPS panel and I knew I wanted a new display for single player (cyberpunk). 2077, The Witcher, Doom Eternal) with excellent contrast and higher refresh rates. This monitor seemed to fit the criteria I was looking for and I took a chance on buying an open box display. This game paid off because I was blown away by the difference in image…

I love this monitor. I should start this review by saying I've only had it since Thanksgiving. I love the resolution, the high refresh rate, the ultra wide screen, pretty much everything about it. The only thing that struck me while watching the show is that the blacks don't get as dark as I would like, but that's to be expected. The only thing I worried about was the cornering. It's pretty lush for 1000r, but I like it. As someone who has never had an ultra-wide screen, I didn't know what to…

Edit - July 7, 2022: I was using a KabelDirekt 6ft DP-1.4 cable and noticed a flickering that has gotten worse lately. I recently replaced it with a Club3D 2M DP 1.4 cable and so far the issue seems to be resolved. When changing the cable, I found that the KabelDirekt connector was slightly bent from the impact on the bottom rear of the monitor. I think that was an issue as the product reviews for the cable have been great and the cable looks high quality. The Club3D cable still touches the…
