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

Ran the full suite of eizo monitor tests and found dead pixels. Otherwise, this was a really good value for money product.

Ordered the monitor mostly for work (software development) and some casual gaming. My 2060 struggles to get the most out of the panel in some games but that was to be expected. Overall amazing picture quality and a great refresh rate for the price.

I first bought two 27 LG ultragear monitors (1080, 240hz, IPS), and i liked them at firs but there were too many downsides in my laptop+monitors setup with them. Returned them just before a month was up. -3 screens, none of them great pic when sitting at desk distance -IPS can be a bit bright at that distance, when using for extended periods -550ish was a relatively lot to spend on monitors, got me thinking what else i could get for same or less money shopped around A LOT. 34 wide 3440x1440 @ 144hz with 1ms response at this price is a deal, and MSI is not a garbage brand. decided to try. Like: -easy on the eyes -size is great, pretty much perfect for working or gaming. my laptop sits next to it, so I still have 2 monitors -widescreen compatible with all games ive played so far, easy to use -nice stand, doesnt take up much space im still figuring out the best picture settings, its not entirely obvious what they should be. I shopped around a lot and bought and returned some stuff and I dont think I could have done any better for the money. For a workstation monitor, first, that also happens to be really nice on games.

Monitor is golden. Exactly what I expected. Amazon initially lied about the delivery date and it came late. Then when it came it turned out that they sent me the 100hz version. Had to return it and order again. Amazon managed to send the right monitor on the second try and I love it. Cancelled my prime after the entire ordeal though.

I originally ordered this monitor because it checked all the boxes I was looking for! However, when I checked for dead pixels, there were a couple. Amazon sent me a replacement as a result, and when I checked the replacement for dead pixels, not only did the backlight go out within a week, but there was a hair stuck between the LCD and display.

The picture quality is really great I highly recommend

Très bon moniteur pour faire du montage vidéo ou de la photo. Les contrastes sont beaucoup plus élevés (4000:1) que sur mon ancien moniteur Dell de 30 pouces (1000:1). Les noirs sont profonds et les nuances de couleurs dans les zones sombres sont beaucoup plus apparentes. Je travaille chex moi dans un endroit dont léclairage est tamisé le jour et dans le noir total le soir. Jai réglé la luminosité sur 50% et cest parfait pour moi. Cela dépend donc des habitudes des personnes. Langle de vision est bien de 178 degré. Mais comme cest une dalle courbe de 1500R il faut en tenir compte lorsque lon regarde de côté. Langle nest pas partout le même dépendamment si vous fixez soit le centre ou un des cotés du moniteur. Bien entendu cest une dalle VA donc faites attention à votre choix parce ce que le temps de réponse nest pas aussi rapide que sur une dalle IPS. Pour ce qui est du ghosting jai réussi à le rendre presque inexistant pour la navigation web en jouant un peu avec les paramètres. Pour le HDR Il ne faut pas sattendre à un miracle. Ici nous avons un écran de 300 nits. Pour du vrai HDR cela demande dans les 1000 nits et le prix viens avec bien sûr. Donc en résumé pour le prix (je lai acheté neuf chez amazon pour 459.00$ avant taxe) cest un excellent moniteur. Probablement un des meilleurs pour une dalle VA. Jai lu des critiques qui le compare à des écran beaucoup plus chers ce qui ne lui rend pas justice. Finalement jen ai acheté un deuxième dans la même semaine.

The monitor rocks, I love it for gaming and work. Its crisp and fast and very clean. The stand is ridiculous. It is so long and wide that it takes up most of the desk. This would not be a problem is the monitor raised up to a good level, which is does not. So now I have a giant stand propped up with books. If you have a small desk, I would advise getting a VESA mount and removing the base. If the base was not so absurd I would have given it 5/5

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.

The build quality is top notch but the 1ms response rate is a blatant lie, also I dont know if its specific to my panel but the smearing on certain sites is unbearable, this does not have a 1ms pixel to pixel response time and the ghosting on games when its dark is horrible. Wouldnt recommend. VA panels are a terrible compromise.
