MSI MAG 342CQR E2 34 Inch UWQHD Curved Gaming Monitor - 1500R 3440 x 1440 VA Panel, 180 Hz / 1ms (MPRT), Adaptive Sync - DP 1.4a, HDMI 2.0b CEC

Didn't want to buy a 4k monitor to go with my new PC as I was quite happy with the resolution of my old 32" QHD monitor. However, I wanted a better refresh rate and more screen real estate and this monitor seemed to tick all the boxes. It's the same height as my old 32" monitor, just a lot wider. Nice bright, vibrant colours and no dead pixels. Quick screen response and you can adjust all of the monitor settings either with the small joystick on the back of the monitor or with an app on the Windows desktop. Has a good refresh rate (155Hz) and Freesync Premium which works fine with my Nvidia graphics card. The KVM facility is very basic but not a problem for me as I use an external KVM switch box. I've been using this monitor every day for several months now without any problems. A great value monitor and highly recommended.

What an amazing monitor for the price!After years of using an office monitor, I finally mustered up the courage to buy a new gaming monitor, I knew the spec I wanted and this fit perfectly and came under budget!Response rate: the smoothest monitor I have used, i remember having an AOC 1ms 144hz TN panel but this looks and feels so much smoother!brightness & colours. So far no issues, i set up the monitor in sRGB and use HDR settings in Windows - this has given me a good result with deep colours and a satisfying look.Stand: very good quality, feels robust and monitor slides effortlessly when trying to move it whilst holding nice and steady once in position. Very easy assembly, took less than 2 minutes!Resolution & screen size: it’s a big screen, but the 1440p resolution is perfect at this size! Games and movies look crisp, especially with the refresh rate making motion smooth and visually stunning.Gaming: So I mainly play MOBA and FPS games, both requiring good refresh rates. in game settings can be synced easily and so far have found no compatibility issues with Windows and steam games.There are no speakers on this version so sound quality isn’t something that can be reviewed however with the headphone jack it might be worth trying this out in future.

MSI MAG 274QRF QD E2This is an outstanding monitor by MSI.The picture quality is amazing. It's Quantum Dot technology really gives this monitor a massive coverage of all colour gamuts.It does not need calibrating out of the box as the settings are very close to being perfect. Just set Gaming to User, Professional to sRGB, Colour Temperature to Normal, response times via three overdrive profiles to Fast, and active Adaptative Sync if you have a fairly modern GPU. Then Windows settings, set display to 180hz and it's good to go.I really love the fact that its a plug and go monitor, no messing about to get a good picture.I choose this monitor due to it's Quantum Dot tech, it has a 180hz refresh rate and it's a 2560x1440 resolution.This monitor has really blown me away. I researched a lot of other monitors and this one really stood out. Hardware Unboxed (Monitors Unboxed) has a really good review of the 1st gen version. This is the second gen with a higher brightness of 400 cd/m² and a higher refresh rate of 180hz.What impressed me the most is when I'm gaming. The colours make everything look so vivid and the 180hz refresh rate and brightness make my experience move immersive.This is one of the best non OLED monitors currently on the market.The monitor, in my opinion does not have any downsides. It's priced very reasonably, and has a lot of features that true hardcore gamers would love.For me it's a really good monitor that satisfies all my needs, emails, office work, streaming and gaming.

Very initial thoughts/review. This monitor has everything I needed in terms of video inputs, and USB connections. Has 1x Display port, 2x HDMI, 1x usb c w/ display port alt mode, and 65w pass through charging. Has 1x usb type B for connecting to your PC which allows you to use the MSI gaming intelligence app, as well to upgrade the firmware, and it has 2x usb A ports with built-in KVM switch to allow you to use mouse and keyboard on 2 PC's.Picture quality is amazing in 1440p resolution, colors are rich and vibrant if a little over saturated. Response time is amazing and everything feels buttery smooth compared to the 60hz monitor I've had for ages. It feels amazing to run games above 60fps without tons of screen tearing, and thanks to g sync that is a thing of the past.I am very happy with the product overall. But I have some negative things to say as well.I have noticed that on some of the edges of the panel there are some light spots or light bleeding, really only noticeable on a really dark screen, but not good for a monitor this expensive. Also there is 1 single dead pixel left and down from the center of the screen. Which now that I have noticed it bothers me substantially. I will include a photo of both problems.Other than that this monitor is amazing. Tons of connectivity, amazing 180hz refresh (through display port 1.4 & usb c) & 144hz through HDMI 2.0.

The media could not be loaded. I've been using the MSI MPG 274URF-QD monitor for a while now, and overall, it's been a fantastic experience. The display quality is top-notch, with vibrant colors and sharp details, making it perfect for gaming and productivity tasks. The high refresh rate ensures buttery-smooth gameplay, and the build quality feels premium.However, there are a couple of downsides worth mentioning. The monitor lacks built-in speakers, so you'll need external audio equipment, which might be an inconvenience for some. Additionally, while it supports AMD FreeSync Premium, it doesn't have native NVIDIA G-Sync. It is G-Sync compatible, but it might not deliver the same performance as a monitor with full G-Sync support.Overall, this monitor excels in delivering a high-quality experience, especially for gamers and creative professionals. Just keep in mind the few limitations before purchasing.
