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

Very nice monitor.

Bought this monitor after looking at several similar sized monitors both curved and not and am very pleased with it, turned right on out of the box with no issues. I would definitely recommend to a friend and buy again if I need to!

If youre using this monitor primarily for gaming, you will not be disappointed. The high refresh rate was a big step up from my previous 60hz monitor, and the extra FOV from the space on the sides was useful. However, gaming is not my main hobby and I also use this monitor for work (computer programming) and watching videos. My main issue with this monitor is the color accuracy. Bright reds always seem to be very washed out in comparison to my old ASUS ProArt, no matter how much calibration I did. Then again, if youre just looking for a gaming monitor and dont care about color accuracy, then do consider this monitor. In my case I think I will trade this for a 27 4K monitor from Dell.

Bought two of these monitors for me and my brother and both of them came packaged very nicely. The monitors themselves are fantastic as the colors on these are amazing and the IPS panel really shows the beauty of this monitor. Its also not curved but many curved monitors are VA and I really wanted an IPS panel widescreen monitor. It also came with power adapters so Im glad I got lucky. EDIT: After a couple of months, one of the monitor is starting to have flicker issues. I replaced the cable and tried it on different GPUs and I am positive that the monitor is now defective. MSI warranty for monitors is also mediocre as I would have to ship the monitor back and I do not have a box big enough to send it to them with. Wish they had an option to visit a near by repair.

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.

For no reason screws inside started to fall and the plastic open on the side.

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

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.

I have had it for 11 months and it’s been great it does everything I need

this monitor looks amazing i think its the best monitor for the price i cant find a single thing to complain about.
