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

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.

Picture quality wise this monitor is great. But it will randomly go out in a frozen black pic where even the power button will not work and unit needs to be unplugged. This happens 2-3 times per week. I am going to see if issue persists not that I have a new GPU for with monitor. If it does I will need this serviced as a defect. But when not randomly going out the pic quality and in game response is amazing. I am using stock display port cable that came with the monitor. If this issue resolves itself or if MSI make repairs smooth I will raise this rating.

Overall not too bad. Found 2 dead pixels (stuck black). So.. bearable..

Overall this is a beautiful monitor for gaming, got it today. However, I found it at a lower price same day of delivery on micro center for $379.99 and I figured amazon would price match no problem. Apparently Amazon DOES NOT PRICE MATCH, I would have never thought amazon would do that. What a disappointment, I would have never guessed amazon would be afraid of price competition. I already opened the box set it up and im sure amazon would just give me a hassle for trying to return it. Great monitor, terrible policy.

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.

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 want a 34 inch UWQHD 1440 ultrawide monitor under $500 For the Panel bit depth is 8 bit, not in my list: GIGABYTE G34WQC, AOC CU34G2X, samsung S34J550W , samsung C34G55T, ViewSonic OMNI VX3418-2KPC, Acer Nitro XZ342CK, Lenovo G34w-10 I only want 10 bit: ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B, Dell S3422DWG, LG 34WP65C-B, MSI MAG342CQR. Finally I choose MSI.

Overall is a good monitor, the colors are excellent. The controls are terrible, it really needs a remote or an app. i dont use the LED in the back since you have to use the controls to make changes and is a pain, I use ICUE for everything RGB all in one solution from Corsair. I would recommend this monitor but at a lower price.

I was very hesitant to buy this monitor at first because of it not having a lot of reviews. Im glad I did though this monitor is worth it. I was upgrading from a dual asus 24 inch monitor setup that i was very disappointed with. This is the type of quality 34 inch 3440x1440 i was hoping to get. The price is excellent for what you are getting compared to some others. The picture quality is superb. There is zero back light bleed. No dead pixels or any defects in the time that I have had it. The box it was shipped in was good and the monitor was well protected inside. It has the capability of doing picture in picture, and picture by picture. With the display port cable hooked up it gives you 144hz as advertised. Its easy to set up and change picture settings to make it right for you. I have mine set up on a Vesa arm desk mount,it comes with the hardware in the box to work with the Vesa mount which I saw in another review on here. The stand is pretty big so youll want to make sure your desk has enough space for it to sit on. The stand is feels nice and solid if you go with that option. The curved screen took a week or so to get use to but the viewing from all angles is very good. Overall I could not be happier with this purchase. I hope that if you are struggling to make a decision to buy a monitor like I was that this helps.

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.
