MSI MAG342CQM 1500R Curvature 21:9 Aspect Ratio Narrow Bezel 1ms 3440 x 1440 (UWQHD) 144Hz Refresh Rate Tilt/Swivel/Height/Pivot Adjustment 34 AMD Freesync Gaming Curved Monitor, Black

I researched this purchase for months, and waited months to post a review, and I will say Im throughly satisfied.

Im no body but this monitor earned NO MORE than 3 Stars from me. I wanted to try a 34 144hz wide monitor but I picked the wrong one. I dont like the black shadows (ghosting) when watching a cut scene from a video game or movie. This monitor is terrible for dark color (ghosting) The reason why I didnt return it is because I paid $250 for this monitor. So it was cheap when I bought it on July 2022.

I got this for an amazing price here on Amazon. Everything works. Beautiful picture quality, and I love the curve.

Working on this monitor is fantastic. My software and game engine layout fit all on one screen. Huge development excels fit all in a single view. Honestly, the monitor has saved me a lot of hassle juggling my work setup. Nice and affordable, you will have an immersive overall experience with any content you play on this. I will warn you when watching movies you will have to adjust the resolution get the picture

The monitor came DOA (dead on arrival). Because I wanted this size and parameters, I asked for replace but in Colombia is not possible. Also there is no guarantee service with the local repair office because is purchased from Amazon and the guarantee is in US. The only option was to return it to Amazon. Very bad service from MSI and I really wanted to have this monitor but Im so disappointed now. After I return this monitor Ill buy another one but not MSI. I los trust with this brand really. If they have such quality you can imagine it can fail whatever moment and it can be outside of the warranty. Or maybe I have to send it to USA for repair which is non sense. They dont serve all they products in the local office!

I bought one of these used and I couldnt be happier. Saved money and got a gigantic, curved, picture right in my face!

I cannot get over on how great and amazing this display looks!

It’s a pretty good monitor, great picture, good size, nice curve, and decent color. Only things I wish it had was a black light setting and a vibrancy or saturation toggle. Overall it’s got a decent display but not as saturated as my ips monitor and has a slight blue light over the screen. It could just be because I’m using an hdmi cable, but I don’t know. Definitely recommend if you just want a second monitor for random tasks and movies. You can see the wrinkles on people’s faces very well on this screen especially in the full aspect ratio.

A few dead pixels about 6 months in. Also will lag a bit and cause cursor to jump on simple web searches. The thing looks amazing though, id buy it again even with those issues so far.

I transitioned from 3 21.7 in monitors to a single curved monitor and while I lost screen space the overall efficiency of the space used by the single monitor overwhelmingly makes watching/gaming/work easier.
