    Coming from a curved 32' screen. This thing is perfect. The 155hz and ultrawide resolution give this amazing value. And the msi joystck controls for easy and quick shortcuts make it a breeze yo chamge to the correct setting for what you want to do.

    Great quality monitor. Nice size, great resolution/display is super crisp and colors accurate. I wish it was curved, but then it would be perfect...gaming one tends to lose the edges when not curved and with such a big size. But so far soo good, happy w/purchase

    The monitor would be great, except it goes blank for a few seconds every few minutes. Iy was faulty right out of the box. I waited more than a month for it so I tried MSI support and message board troubleshooting and none of the steps helped. Now I have to cover the cost to ship the screen to MSI to fix on a screen I received just over a month ago and reported issues with immediately. I won't buy their products again, and I'm not certain I'd buy from best buy again. Other retailers have better or longer return policies.

    Beautiful monitor but has no speakers if you are going to run an Xbox or PlayStation. Needed to purchase a basic soundbar because it lacks an ARC or passthrough for those situations. But the picture is amazing and it has great fps.

    Was a great monitor with good pixel quality and a fair price but fried itself within 2 months. Yes I had it on a new and reliable surge protector, no it didn't overheat.

    Lesson to stick with LG

    I bought this monitor in late November. I did research. Reviews were majority promising. A few days ago it started having issues. I thought it was just related to my system being in sleep mode at first. Nope. It has issues. It was shutting on and off. As well as menu popping up and moving on its own. Yet it wouldn’t acknowledge when I pushed on the menu. It’s out of the return period by 10days. I don’t buy bestbuy warranty because they’ve either NEVER honored it or they put up a huge fight, catch them lying etc etc. Online and in person. I’m not paying for disrespect. I have other MSI products. They’ve gotten better (motherboard impressed me) so I decided to go with this monitor. The warranty isn’t the best. To get to MSI customer support is a journey. It’s better than what it used to be, still messed up. I got unnecessarily bounced around a bit. Last person did guide me to the rma slip, so that’s good. I’m going to have to fork over some money to ship and who knows what else. The rest of my monitors are LG. And has lasted years. Even through storages, homelessness etc. The main driving point on this for me wasn’t just the cost but the quality and LG is making some questionable decisions so I don’t know if I want to stick with their stuff. I wouldn’t mind paying out twice the amount for a quality 40in instead of possibly half that and then another 100 and a bunch of time for

    This was beautiful when we got it. It looked phenomenal too. Unfortunately, the screen went out on the 3rd day of it being opened. Easy to return though.

    was using a 34" ultra wide 3440x1440x120 ips panel Dell from 2018 as my primary monitor.--.it's now on my right and on the left is this 40" monitor.. have had it for 6 mos now.. came w/o any dead or stuck pixels. oc'd to 155hz works like a charm.. nvidia gsync also works on this monitor.. I paid like $430 six month ago from newegg, this black friday price? GET IT NOW. only drawbacks is DO NOT USE HDR MODE.. looks like crap, 400 nits not enough for good hdr.. only other downside is the power button. it's the meny joystick in back.. you have to hold it in for 4-5 secs to turn monitor on and off... should have been a normal, seperate power button.. but the SDR picture is AMAZING and clean.. no tearing, no ghosting.. easily the best budget screen I've ever seen. my old Dell I use cost me nearly $900/usd back in 2018.. if I had room on my desk, I'd get another one to replace it :P
