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

Ive been running this monitor for a few months and its been great. I think youll be pressed to find a better 144hz, 1440p 34in curved monitor around the 400 price range. One problem that Ive had with this display is ghosting. This only happens when you have pure white on black, so its not a common occurrence. It may occur in windows settings if you have dark mode and you move your cursor around, or if you have white text on a black background and start scrolling. The other problem is that the stand is absolutely horrid; its a large tripod like a foot deep. Its not a problem if you dont want to place anything under it I suppose, but I want to fit my DAC/AMP underneath it so I will be swapping it out. Other than that, its a great performing and looking monitor.

just got it, easy setup. used for work. i havent used for gaming but no dead pixels and no fade or issues i see. only downfall i can pick at is the monitor wobbles if you hit the desk or changing button setting on it. not an issues just something i didnt notice from other monitors but sturdy and good build

After having this monitor for a few months coming from an equivalent ASUS(got damaged), it started having a red dotted vertical line going down the screen. This is a panel/ribbon cable quality issue and I will be returning to MSI for RMA with out of pocket shipping charges. I would not recommend this monitor. The quality was not terrible, but I would rather spend a little more and go with the ASUS again which had a much nicer image and I never ran into panel quality issues.

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

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.

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.

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.

This is my first purchase of an ultrawide monitor, and this monitor completely delivers. The monitor itself is gorgeous and has amazing quality. I was initially a little hesitant to purchase this monitor as it wasnt as pricey as other brands, but I have no regrets. The picture quality is amazing for a VA panel (after proper calibration/configuration). I highly recommend! The only caveat is that the stand may take up a lot of space depth-wise.

I love this monitor. Expansive, Immersive, Fast response rate, Great picture quality, more functions than anticipated, and just a Wonderful product!

When I first opened a game on this monitor I was amazed. Widescreen, 2k, and 144hz looks amazing in every game. Monitor gets bright enough and dim enough, and hasnt had a single problem in the months that I have used it. Great choice for a gaming monitor.
