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

Upgraded to this after my previous monitor (30 in. Spectre ultrawide @ 2560x1080 200hz) died after 2 years of use out of the blue because the capacitors burnt out. After a bit of contrast and RGB calibration out of the box, the colors look even sharper than the Spectre. Definitely a lot less gray and more defined. The backlight bleeding the Spectre suffered from is also practically nonexistent in this one. Very even lighting through and through. FFXIV looks much more crisp at this resolution, to the point where Ive disabled most of the custom FXAA/bloom/blur shaders I previously used at 2560x1080 which helped hide the jaggedness. Overall quite happy with my purchase. I cannot elaborate on VA smearing and response times as I do not play FPS games, and this is perfect so far for my MMO + programming needs.

This was pretty easy to setup and once it was, WOW! Amazing quality and picture. There was one minor issue though that still bugs a little but its not a deal breaker. There was one dead pixel. Not noticeable if your not looking for it. But its there. Overall the picture is amazing with my RTX 2070 Super!

The picture quality is great and the size is awesome make for a great gaming monitor

It was time for me to upgrade to a larger screen so I can view trading charts properly and I researched many ultra wide screens, but this one fit my needs and budget. Its clear and bright and works perfectly with my laptop which is also a MSI. So far I have been very pleased with my purchase.

This Montior is the absolute top of my build for my new gaming PC, to give you an idea my rig has a ryzen 9 5950 cpu and a 3070ti graphics card, 32 gigs of ram. And I needed a monitor that was not only capable but stylish to fish off my build. And it did not disappoint. The value you get is top notch and I havent had any problem since instalation. If you are a fellow gamer and are looking to get a monitor, I highly recommend this one, it has some of the best picture quality Ive ever seen on a monitor and has no problem displaying 4k raytracing in full detail. If you are looking for an ultra wide monitor to complete your rig, pick this one. The price is amazing and the quality is well above what you pay. I also recommend downloading Wallpaper engine from steam to get some amazing animated wallpapers to showoff this fantastic display.

Arrived in full working order. No dead pixels or bleeding. Looks awesome.

The jump from 60hz to 144hz was mind melting. The hdr setting is beautiful, gaming on this beast is phenomenal. I’m running this monitor and another off of a gtx 1070 and I have had no issues. For such a low price this monitor is unbeatable!

Overview/ Display - Let me first start off by saying this monitor is really one of the best things Ive seen in a while. Moving up from a Macbook pro-2015 15.4 to this display the difference is night and day. This screen is accurate when it comes to colors from what I can tell and it is bright, vivid, and best of all there is absolutely no backlight bleed on my panel or at least very minimal. At 34 inches this is massive, it dwarfs my laptop in comparison. But for productivity and media consumption it rocks. Im assuming gaming performance is good too BUT when Im able to test with an actual PC (currently inc a graphics card queue(-_-) ) I have yet to say. -Stand While Im not using the included stand it is heavy and seems to have great adjustability from what I can tell. The Menu- The menu is intuitive on this display, While it might not be super crazy like some Samsung monitors with literal joysticks it does have a streamlined menu that is easy to change any of the settings that come baked in. The LED ring on the back is a nice touch and has the option to turn it off. -Vesa mount- THIS DISPLAY WORKS WITH VESA, it comes with standoff screws to clear the back plastic and mounts securely to any wall or arm mount. I didnt know this at first but it does come with all the hardware needed to wall mount this. -Price For the price of $420 at the time of purchase, this monitor is outstanding and I highly recommend that anyone pick one up -Final thoughts While I cant say anything about gaming on this just yet I will come back and give my final thoughts on it in the next following months. AND TO NOTE: my computer is only outputting at 2560x1080 to this I cannot wait to see what this thing actually can do!!

This is my first new monitor in 4 years and I cant say I am disappointed... This is a VA panel but the colors are sharp and the refresh rate and response time are flawless... My productivity launched a lot since I got this monitor and I recommend it as an ultrawide budget option if you searching for 144hz 1ms.

I love gaming on this monitor
