MSI Full HD Rapid-IPS 1ms 2560 x 1080 Ultra Wide 200Hz Refresh Rate HDR Ready G-Sync Compatible 30” Gaming Monitor (Optix MAG301RF)

Bien

I like the design and clean look of this monitor. It is affordable with that specs. Only wish it comes with speakers.

Wasnt exactly looking for a monitor that would knock your socks off. Really just wanted some extra real-estate to work with when Im working on projects at home. This monitor is one of the cheaper ultrawides I could find from a larger brand like MSI that also featured a high refresh rate screen. Overall Im very happy with what I payed for. Like I said, you definitely shouldnt expect something amazing. Theres much more expensive monitors that will probably fulfill all your wildest dreams. But if youre looking for something that works well and gets the job done I definitely recommend this one.

This is a tldr review first impression since Ive not had it long. I bought direct from Amazon rather than 3rd party. I received all necessary items, including the power brick. So if youre worried buy from Amazon certified. The monitor impresses out of the box, feels fast, has pleasant color reproduction. No noticeable artifacts. Ips bleed was very good on my model, barely noticeable. Out of the box it might be crushing blacks which is odd for an ips, is probably fixable with some tweaking. Its worth noting I used 165hz 10 bit, which might be affecting things in normal 8 bit rgb range. Not worth doing since HDR support is an afterthought but its also doubtful this monitor can hold 200hz stable. That is just how it be with these ips screens. It is way better than normal FHD, the extra fov you get is fantastic. edit: Automatic aspect ratio is broken, so on games that dont scale to 16:9 even with GPU scaling enabled require you to go into the OSD. It is a missed opportunity that you cannot make a shortcut to aaspect ratio config. This monitor has poor gamma settings, night vision is the closest to a gamma setting, but it just overblooms things. AI Nightvision is just weird as well. Other than that the colors on this monitor are really, really good. It is fun to play with, and those negatives dont affect gameplay, but if youre like me it will eat at you slowly. Unfortunately there arent many good options in the 30in UW category (34in is too big for me)

As other reviewers have stated happened to them, this did not come with a power cord. MSI support is worthless and will not respond to tickets and Amazon can only offer an RMA. I would have just accepted a cord in the mail, but that doesnt seem to be an option.

The monitor arrived in perfect condition, zero dead pixels and no backlight bleed at all. The monitor adjusts up and down on the stand which is a very nice touch. Monitor itself is great with refresh rate and colors, it was simply missing one thing, the power cord. I had no way of powering it for 2-3 days until I found what type of power connector it used. Other than that, I had no problem with the monitor.

I was looking for a flat high refresh rate ultrawide that would help me multitask for work but not too wide that while gaming, I would be breaking my neck to see my HUD. Found this and I couldnt be happier. It is an esports monitor so having 200hz while in Valorant, Rocket League, and Apex is awesome. The 30 gives me just enough more screen info that I would be missing with a 24 while not being distracting. Plus colors look great because it is IPS. Would definitely recommend this to anyone in the same boat as me.

The width of the monitor is awesome and it reduces the headache on switching between multiple tabs between windows. Good monitor for work.

Amazing monitor. Highly recommend. Very unique and niche but is perfect for my setup.

Good monitor, just wanted to let anyone know who is curious that this monitor runs at 8 bit when clocked at 200hz, but goes to 10 bit at 165hz 2560x1080
