    A Great 27" Curved Monitor

    27" monitor size for a curved monitor just hits the sweet spot for me. 1080p resolution looks great on this, I set it to a warm color profile and it's very pleasant to look at during night or day. It's a better fit for gaming than anything else, but that's not to say that it's not well rounded and enjoyable for productivity and movie watching. I regret not having the budget to buy two of them. The only downside I have is that it doesn't come with a displayport cable which you need for 165hz refresh rate. The HDMI cable provided limits you to just 144hz; but that refresh rate is a great setting for any type of gaming. Before settling to this monitor, I purchased a 32" 4k monitor with the intention of upgrading my GPU to one of the newer graphic cards that are capable of pushing 4k. But it only had a refresh rate of 60hz. I thought it would be a good trade off to give up a high refresh rate in exchange of monitor size and higher resolution. But as soon as I fired up my pc games, they became borderline unplayable because of the lower refresh rate that I was accustomed of. This monitor was about $100 cheaper on sale, and runs my games really well, which I found out is a higher priority for me than having better resolution for movies and YouTube, Bottom line: if you happen to be in the same dilemma as me, and you're a gamer looking for a monitor in the $200-$300 price point, this is a solid pickup if you like the luxury of a curved screen and a high refresh rate. Yes, for a little more money, there are monitors that are on sale right now that offer better resolution and bigger screen size. But for my needs, I love this monitor and what it gives me.

    MSI HONEST REVIEW

    What can I say? The beautiful curved screen, the 27 inch screen, the 120FPS amazing graphics. This monitor is truly worth every penny! I mean it I used to play on a 50 inch TV and once I switched to the MSI monitor my gaming has improved and gotten way better at every game I play, the movements when I play are so smooth and I would not change it for any other monitor. I truly recommend this monitor it’s the perfect size and quality to enhance your gaming! You will not regret it I promise.

    MSI Curve Monitor Upgrade from Asus LED

    I upgraded from an Asus 24 inch Monitor to tis curved Monitor and it's honestly been a big improvement in color and viewability. I really like this screen and can safely add MSI to a Brand I can trust when purchasing Monitors in the future. For the size and price it's pretty budget friendly compared to others with the same specs for what seems like higher quality! I added a picture of the Asus and the MSI side by side.

    Great monitor. I have it paired with a ps5 and playing fps games with the 120fps is a big game changer. Will never go back to 60fps. Monitor has a ton a features and also subtle enough for WFH. No crazy lights making it distracting. Highly recommend. Got it on sale but for the quality I wouldn't think twice about buying one full price.

    Was a bit apprehensive first buying this monitor but boy has it not let me down. The viewing angles are fantastic, the colors DO need tuning out of the box but a quick lookup on RTINGS will do you justice. Go by their recommendation then adjust to your own liking. Great gaming monitor especially with a dual monitor setup like I have. Coming from a background of playing FPS games on it like Warzone, Battlefront 2, and Borderlands 3 it does a great job. Oh yeah, the joystick menu button is weird at first but quickly grew on me!

    I personally took a shot with this monitor and I honestly really like it. I was going for a LG but they weren't on sale by the time I decided to buy the LG so I went with this one and so far it handles well. Like the specs for it too and good for the price especially if you get this monitor on sale.

    Great Monitor, I have yet to use it to it's full potential (Need a PS5), but I'm sure will handle great! Only down fall I see is that it doesn't come with a Display Port cable and HDMI only goes to 120hz (for all you computer users). Easy setup, slick no frame look, and it's MSI what else can I say.

    Overall, with my evaluation with this monitor is great. This is my first curve monitor with the widest screen I've ever had. Also, like that you can mount it on the wall and has a off/on button at the lower right corner. The slim bezel are convenient especially when I'm multi-tasking able to open two windows with plenty of room screen. Plus, like the sleek black style. Now let me tell you why I gave it 4 star rating. The main reason I bought this monitor was the anti-blue light and flickering to protect my eyes from getting strain. The way to dim and brighten the screen is to download a software from MSI called "display kit". I find this to be very inconvenient. They should've instead added a few buttons on the lower left corner right next to the off/on button. I'm in my 20's and I like to have my eye vision last for the longest. The "Eye Saver" mode works a bit but I feel it irritating few hours on the PC. Which is enough for me to turn the lights on in my room to stop my eyes from irritating. I know Asus is doing this with their monitors and other computer companies are implementing this which is great for the consumer. I decided to stick with MSI because I been buying a lot of their products and figured this one was great but sometimes I wish they could do better.

    So this is my first MSI product I’ve heard a lot of good things about them but never owned anything they sold until I got my new rig rocking a 3060 ti so I decided to check them out, got it home and man it is the easiest monitor i have ever had to configure now keep in mind with this monitor it completes a three monitor setup, everything about it was seamless the connections and the interface was simplified as this monitor let’s you configure everything from motion blur to refresh rate,back to the Interface i really liked the on screen controls I mean most of the monitors I’ve dealt with recently don’t allow the much tweaking I’m really impressed and lastly design all black curved with very solid stand love it thanks MSI gonna check out what else they have to offer love my gadgets.
