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

Dead on arrival. No power to backlight. Had to return.

Appears To Be A Good Monitor So Far Still Learning About It

I have been using this monitor for approximately a year now and its an amazing monitor, especially for my first 1440p monitor. The curve is perfect as a dual monitor replacement and worked great w/ my KVM switch. Gaming picture quality and refresh rate are great for the price to performance ratio.

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.

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.

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.

So got it and it was open box said it was missing stuff but it had all its items. So got it and its great

It is a wonderful screen love MSI

Sounds good on paper but colors suck they dont pop i mean my 4k tv outshines this dont waste your money get a better quality monitor

No complaints. Works well and a great monitor to game with. The 1ms response time is perfect. Ultra wide screen allows you to see action before other standard width monitors.
