Going from a 1080p 60hz monitor this is the best upgrade I could have hoped for. It was flickering black for brief moments but that was a result of the cable not all the way in, and now that’s resolved. Besides that the monitor is incredible and definitely worth what I spent.

Nothing to dislike here all in one highly recommended

Great resolution and color for the money, but a couple of dead pixels near the edges. Not very noticeable, but they exist.

2 of 2 ordered monitors had dead pixel(s) - one dead on monitor #1 and two dead on its replacement. I think MSI may have some quality control issues with this particular model. Unfortunately for them, this was my first time trying their monitors as I love some of their other components build quality, but alas, I wont be buying any more MSI monitors anytime soon.

Went from a tv to this is definitely a change.

The refresh rate only goes up to 60hz unless you have it on 1080p.... why pay more for 1440p if you cant use it and even on 1080p it only gets 120hz

Mounting brackets and arm installation is straight forward and simple. Be sure to do it on a soft surface like the foam packaging the it comes with or you could damage the screen. After ensuring solid DP port connection and power cable connection, it became apparent that the DP port is unable to detect my graphics card. I cannot test to see if the HDMI functions as the menu toggle switch does not work. I tried seeing if unplugging the DP cable entirely and plugging in the HDMI will make it switch but the message DP Port Signal Not Detected still shows It does look nice for the guests that come over if you can pretend that it works. Adds to the room and makes the table look complete.
