MSI Full HD FreeSync Gaming Monitor 24 Curved non-Glare 1ms LED Wide Screen 1920 x 1080 144Hz Refresh Rate (Optix G24C)

Bueno

I purchased three of the G24c variants of these monitors in late November of 2017 and they checked all of the right boxes: 144hz, 1ms response time and the picture is great (for 1080p). I didnt really care that they were curved but after purchasing them and setting them up across my desk I found I like the effect. I wasnt looking for 4k or 1440 at the time and these are a solid 1080p display, when theyre working as expected. I wasnt initially able to take advantage of FreeSync as I was running a gtx1080 and it wasnt yet supported. After finally activating FreeSync, I was pleased with the performance. Unfortunately, I noticed in late 2018 that my monitors began having these lines that would come up from the bottom of the screen. (In the attached picture, the very bottom of the monitor is what this initially looked like) At first, it was just on my center monitor, but eventually two of the three monitors began having this same effect. I thought it may have been a graphics card or driver issue and dealt with that for a while and it seemed like after the monitor was on for 5 - 10 minutes it went away. After dealing with what was a nuisance at best for a year or so both monitors began to get progressively worse, to the point they are now where on boot the entire monitor is filled with this hybrid of yellow pixels that rapidly scan across the screen and whatever should actually be being drawn to the screen (see attached photo). I noticed the same type of pixel activity during the monitors boot sequence, confirming it is the screen itself and not a driver or graphics card related issue. Ive also changed the output from the graphics card display port to monitor and the monitors with the issue continued to have the issue regardless of where video was coming in from. When these lines scan across the screen its impossible to see mouse movement and if you do move a window from one of the bad screens to a good screen it stays stuck on the bad screen for a few seconds before clearing. I found a reddit thread that outlines a similar problem that users began having around the same time my issues initially started, they theorize it has something to do with poor soldering on the display port connection (hopefully this has been resolved on newer models). I reached out to MSI to see what could be done, but they instructed me to file an RMA (which I have to pay out of pocket to ship back to MSI) -- but after researching their policy, my monitors are out of warranty anyway and would not be repaired -- or would cost me out of pocket to be repaired. For now, unless I outright replace all three monitors, Ill keep using them. I re-arranged them so that the one monitor that doesnt (yet) have this issue is my center screen and the two that do have this issue look as pictured for 5 - 10 minutes on cold boot, then work normally -- but they are getting progressively worse and I expect that in time these monitors will fail completely. TLDR; 2/3 monitors are in partial failure and are anticipated to fail completely over time, the third one is still as good as the day I bought it. The picture quality when they are working is great (for 1080p) and the 144hz refresh rate has been great for frame sensitive gaming. After finally using FreeSync, Im not sure I could go back to a gaming screen without it. I really like the monitor, but if you do take a risk on these screens I suggest you RMA or return them at first sign of failure, as it will only continue to get worse.

For its price i guess you get what you paid for. Picture is sub par, not that adjustable even with the app and it only goes up to 120hz idk why. Maybe shoulda went for the mag24 for 40$ more.

Fifty shades of yes!!

I originally have this 5 stars but a few months into use I ran into some issues. Fiest was the hdmi port. Out of nowhere it decided to stop working. Not to worry as I has just got a new graphics card and can use display port now. Except display port resets the screen every min for 1-2 seconds. Im left with only dvi. Overall its a beautiful monitor but I should have read the reviews first.

Por HDMI solo corre a 120 hz y por DP corre a 144 hz, no es lo que esperaba, pero es buen monitor en general.

My first 144hz Monitor and Curved at that, and I love this Monitor!!!! It’s breathtaking how accurate and eye catching the color is. I’ve improved at overwatch and even Rainbow 6 Siege. I have had so much fun with this monitor so far and it’s really immersive. Even has a little panel on the back for cable management. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get into gaming and wanting to get a curved monitor.

I really like the 144hz, just dont like how i cant tilt the monitor up but this is really a solid monitor- if you have the choice between 60 and 144hz- go for 144 100%

This just arrived. Quicker than expected, so that is a plus. But this monitor is NOT VESA compatible. There is an adapter you can buy that will make it possible but dont buy this alone and think you are going to be able to easily mount it.

I picked up two g24c and i was expecting them to be.. okay. but honestly im really blown away by them. for ~$200 these are a hell of a deal. no dead pixels on arrival. if youre sitting on the fence bc there are a couple reviews that make you unsure I strongly recommend just pulling the trigger c: some things to note with the g24c negative No on board speakers Not vesa mount ready out of the box (why im giving them the item 4 stars) you can buy an msi optix to vesa adapter for around $25 that does the trick. the ports in the back are a pain to work with. positive the picture is great responsive curve is super subtle the anti glare works pretty well. My desk has a window right behind me and from in the evening I really couldnt see half my screen. this monitor has really fixed that.
