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

There is NO Power Adapter in the package. How am I supposed to turn it ON?

Unboxing and set up was a breeze, immediately set the refresh rate to max and played a few games and was impressed at how smooth it was. Havent had much time with it yet but so far so good.

Honestly, it took awhile to dial this monitor in, but it has stopped working after 3 months. Going through warranty support is a joke, no live chat, just FAQ. DO NOT BUY MSI MONITORS

For almost 12 years I was using a more square 28 monitor but it began having problems, I looked around and noticed this monitor, it had good reviews and Amazon had the best price. I didnt realize how much more wide the screen was until I unboxed it, I was unsure how much I would like the width, I do some light video and photo work but I dont game, I do watch a few movies and youtube. After using the first few times Ive come to favor this monitor over the last one, much more. I have two desktop computers, the other desktop computer uses the exact style monitor that I was using before it went bad on this desktop now using the MSI, I prefer this MSI. This MSI is a flat screen, it has good colors and works perfectly! The MSI monitor comes with several types of connectors, I am using the MDMI 1, it has no VGA which I was using on the previous monitor.

I wish I could get a video or a picture of the problem I am experiencing, unfortunately I can not. Im not if its just me or the monitor. On static images and youtube videos the image and picture looks perfectly clear. I set windows to 200hz and i have freesync enabled on both the radeon software as well as the monitor. I am coming from an LG ultrawide 29 2560x1080 IPS panel with only 75hz freesync. The freesync never really worked very well on that monitor but the picture was always great. Going to this monitor the 200hz refresh rate was a game changer for me, wow. Even just surfing the web scrolling down feels so much better. The mouse movement looks better and moving windows around on the desktop just looks and feels way smoother. The adaptive sync works great and im loving how smooth the gameplay is with a properly working adaptive sync and around 100fps. The problem is that when in games while moving including walking strafing or just looking side to side. The image becomes pixelated and its very noticeable at times. It almost looks like a black boarder surrounds each individual pixel. I have spent hours searching the web for a fix. I have tried multiple cables both DP and HDMI i have tried multiple frame rates, i have played with nearly every setting available in the OSD etc. So far nothing has fixed how pixelated the image looks in games while moving, its driving me crazy! If you stand still in the game, the image looks great. I have been really hoping its a setting that I can change that will resolve the issue but after days of trying im starting to worry that its something to do with the monitor itself. Windows 10, vega 56, driver 21.40.03.01 If anyone who has this monitor knows of a fix please post a review about how to fix it.

Bought it during prime day sales hoping to finally experience a decent ultrawide monitor. Overall the picture quality was great and i loved playing games like Red Dead Redemption 2 on it. The back light bleeding through is a bit blotchy but it didnt bother me too much. My main 2 problems were while playing some games in full screen mode if i tabbed out and then tried to tab back in the monitor would black out as if it is trying to be detected by my pc again and would refuse to actually let the game show up again. Sometimes forcing me to restart my game. This has happened for so many games i just couldnt deal with it anymore as i hate playing in windowed mode. The other more minor problem is that unlike other monitors on the market, if you turn off the monitor with the power button the pc treats it like it is no longer connected at all forcing any and all windows along with desktop icons to another monitor.(example being if im wanting to sit back and watch youtube on one monitor but want to turn off one monitor to conserve power). I ended up returning this monitor for that reason.

I think the best word is perfect, simply perfect, nothing to envy anyone else, nothing to say.

Perfect for the price

Im using it and it is very nice for gameplay and watching videos, this monitor is more colorful than my old one, and there is a very strong color gamut and the width does not make people feel tired, Pretty and nice

Bought this screen for my brothers birthday and he was blown away. Hes a beginner in PC gaming and this is a great screen.
