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

100/10

I love just how big and light weight it is along with the amazing refresh rate. It was easy to set up on my table mount and mounting it on my table because of how light weight it is. Only thing that kind of bothers me is some games have the black border since some dont support ultra wide but just the 2560 x 1080 itself

Got it for the other 1/2 for present, She likes the monitor but hates where the power button is located.

Sometimes the price may scare you with the what the product should be. But to be honest for most gamers you wont know the difference between an expensive screen and this one of we took the branding off and hid it from you behind a wall. If you are skepyical and want a cheap and good gaming monitor that is ultrawide for productivity also, then stop thinking and just buy it. This is the one for you.

This gaming monitor is by far the best Ive ever played games on. The price of this thing is insane. It out competes almost every monitor in its price range. MSI has done it again. What an amazing company for gamers. I own several msi products. Buy this trust me!

Pros: -Monitor looks great Cons:- No Power Adapter Overall Review: The last thing I needed was the monitor so you can imagine my excitement when I got off work and headed home to unwrap this beauty and fire up my new desktop as well. Opened the box up and assembled the base and everything, got the cables and headed to my desk and I noticed it. NO POWER ADAPTER Contacted amazon who said I need to contact the manufacturer. Contacted MSI and they didnt understand what I was asking for, after a brief phone call, they sent me a power adapter. Haven’t received it yet. MSI is a great company overall, but they really dropped the ball not including the power adapter with the monitor in the box...

Its not well optimized for gaming, it only does 1080p with games that dont support ultrawide like valorant and warzone. It also stutters a lots of ghosting and it doesnt stay at 200hz constantly. But this is a great monitor for productivity and multitasking. good picture and color quality.

This is a very good ultra-wide MSI gaming monitor with great Full HD 1080p resolution screen. I think its fast response rate can be good for gaming but also good for stock price monitoring or business needs if you open many tabs at the same time. That maximizes the performance of the ultrawide screen.

I use this monitor for both work and gaming and it has been handle itself well. It is easy to quickly adjust the setting to either gaming or work. I don’t have a big desk and this help me save a lot of space

This monitor fills a very specific niche but it does it well. I love ultrawides but 34 is too large to be used everyday comfortably for me. Also, 2560x1080 is an easier resolution to drive than 3440x1440. I have a RTX 3060ti and it is perfect for this monitor. The colors out of the box are kind of washed out with very little pop. I had to mess with various settings to get the vibrant effect I like. My unit came with zero dead pixels and very little back light bleeding (even with high brightness). The HDR compatibility is almost a waste of time. The monitor itself doesnt get that bright and turning it on doesnt really do anything for most games. The only game I see a difference on is Doom Eternal and it absolutely makes the colors bright and vibrant. It really looks fantastic. I suppose its how the actual game was designed and not the monitor itself in most cases. Fun Fact: if you create a custom resolution in the Nvdia control panel you can enable 10 bit color up to 191hz @ 2560x1080. I dont see a difference but maybe somebody will. The 200hz feels super smooth and is very responsive. Blur busters UFO test shows nice details. Minimal motion blur. I hate VA panels due to the smearing effect. This is really the only monitor in town that is an ultrawide 30inches, IPS and 200HZ. Black frame insertion is present and actually works but due to the low brightness of the monitor it darkens the pictures a little too much for my eyes. Some games look good . Some dont. Its nice to have the option though. Minimal gamer aesthetics. With the exception of the RGB strip on the back this looks like a normal monitor with a normal stand that doesnt stick out too much. You can turn the RGB strip off in the settings. In the end Im super happy with the monitor and would recommend it to anybody looking for these specific features. I paid under 300 w/tax for this and I feel its a steal for that. There is lots of value here.
