BIG gaming monitor

The smoothness of this monitor is second to none. The colors are desirable but you have to keep in mind that it's not intended for design or anything like that, the colors don't wash out in any way, they just aren't as good as an IPS monitor or a designer monitor. As a gaming monitor, this has to be the best monitor I've used in terms of responsiveness for FPS games - even in other games where split-second decisions are made, this monitor makes it happen.

Great but not perfect.

So I bought 2 of these for my gaming rig and they look amazing. but 1 of them has a faint bruise on the screen. I only see it on a dark background so I swapped places with another one that has no problem. This is the second MSI product that works 100%, the first was my laptop without the camera attached to the case. I would buy it again but would probably buy a warranty if the screen had any issues.

Xbox Series X 120FPS "WORKS "

So I've seen some reviews and stuff saying this monitor doesn't work with next gen consoles and I wanted to let everyone know that it works for the Xbox x series, now it may work the same for PS5 not sure because I don't have it. I originally bought this monitor for my PC so the fps on consoles wouldn't bother me. All I did to get it working consisted of a few steps: 1: Enable Free-Sync on the monitor itself 2: Enable advanced TV/monitor settings on the console 3: Change the refresh rate from…

A cheap item! to my rating.

I was one of those episodes that had a good 75Hz gaming monitor on my Xbox but switched to PC and needed a better monitor to play games. My only fault for the first few weeks is that I forgot to switch my PC settings to 144Hz. With optimized Nvidia filters and this monitor, the war zone is shown so sharp and clear. I have an MSI gaming computer and I love it so I bought it. I highly recommend these products!

Good for the price - my new review

Just connected OPTIXMAG273R. The "approx. 1 inch" sides of the display are darker, while the rest of the panel, top and bottom, remains unaffected. The package does not include a DP cable. The display doesn't extend to the edge of the frame by about 1/4 inch of the unused frame on the sides and top. However, it seems like a great monitor for the low price I paid at $260 but I wouldn't want to pay more for it. Before that I was using an old 32" HDMI TV. It will take me some time to figure out…

The monitor stand is spring loaded

My desk has a shelf above my monitors, so I have to tilt them to get them out from under the shelf. When I did this to switch from HDMI to a non-included gaming cable, it popped out full height, squeezing it out of my hands. fell about 3 inches on the table, the edge of the screen hit the mouse and cracked. They are very soft and thin. Handle with extreme care.

Solid monitor. in my rating

I've spent a lot of time looking for a 144Hz monitor with minimal ghosting/blurring and this one definitely fits the bill. Good image quality, good color reproduction and, after some fiddling with the settings, hardly any streaking. I'll get the second one for another computer.

Available refresh rate 1ms - 1080P

We do not ship replacement power cords!

I purchased this product on April 26, 2021. Now the product's power cord is faulty in the box it is attached to. I have to keep moving it. I bought this one because I have another of the same brand and it works great. I have contacted the company and they want me to send it in for "testing". I work from home and use it for work, how do I send it? Then I can't work! Wonder why they can't just send me a new power cord? I only had it 1 1/2 months!
