> 24 hourI love this monitor. The only thing that was frustrating with it in the initial set up was my PC was set at 60hz refresh rate and that would result in no image being displayed on the new monitor. Make sure your card can run at least 120hz refresh rate before you purchase this. Thankfully mine could.

> 24 hourPicture quality is great don’t worry about other reviews it’s a great monitor for a good price and of course NO dead pixels, my only complaint is the curve on it seems kind of hard to notice and when I look at it next to my ed273 acer the curve on the acer just looks a lot more predominant, but it’s okay because I only use this monitor for reading stream chat but besides that quality is awesome and it’s a great monitor and I would recommend.

> 24 hourPretty nice monitor, did not come in with any dead pixels as far as Im aware. If youre looking to upgrade from 60hz, this is a good place to start However, there are some not picky things that I dont like about it, such as the lack of a button that gives me quick access to switch inputs.

> 24 hourI picked up two g24c and i was expecting them to be.. okay. but honestly im really blown away by them. for ~$200 these are a hell of a deal. no dead pixels on arrival. if youre sitting on the fence bc there are a couple reviews that make you unsure I strongly recommend just pulling the trigger c: some things to note with the g24c negative No on board speakers Not vesa mount ready out of the box (why im giving them the item 4 stars) you can buy an msi optix to vesa adapter for around $25 that does the trick. the ports in the back are a pain to work with. positive the picture is great responsive curve is super subtle the anti glare works pretty well. My desk has a window right behind me and from in the evening I really couldnt see half my screen. this monitor has really fixed that.

> 24 hourI purchased three of the G24c variants of these monitors in late November of 2017 and they checked all of the right boxes: 144hz, 1ms response time and the picture is great (for 1080p). I didnt really care that they were curved but after purchasing them and setting them up across my desk I found I like the effect. I wasnt looking for 4k or 1440 at the time and these are a solid 1080p display, when theyre working as expected. I wasnt initially able to take advantage of FreeSync as I was running a gtx1080 and it wasnt yet supported. After finally activating FreeSync, I was pleased with the performance. Unfortunately, I noticed in late 2018 that my monitors began having these lines that would come up from the bottom of the screen. (In the attached picture, the very bottom of the monitor is what this initially looked like) At first, it was just on my center monitor, but eventually two of the three monitors began having this same effect. I thought it may have been a graphics card or driver issue and dealt with that for a while and it seemed like after the monitor was on for 5 - 10 minutes it went away. After dealing with what was a nuisance at best for a year or so both monitors began to get progressively worse, to the point they are now where on boot the entire monitor is filled with this hybrid of yellow pixels that rapidly scan across the screen and whatever should actually be being drawn to the screen (see attached photo). I noticed the same type of pixel activity during the monitors boot sequence, confirming it is the screen itself and not a driver or graphics card related issue. Ive also changed the output from the graphics card display port to monitor and the monitors with the issue continued to have the issue regardless of where video was coming in from. When these lines scan across the screen its impossible to see mouse movement and if you do move a window from one of the bad screens to a good screen it stays stuck on the bad screen for a few seconds before clearing. I found a reddit thread that outlines a similar problem that users began having around the same time my issues initially started, they theorize it has something to do with poor soldering on the display port connection (hopefully this has been resolved on newer models). I reached out to MSI to see what could be done, but they instructed me to file an RMA (which I have to pay out of pocket to ship back to MSI) -- but after researching their policy, my monitors are out of warranty anyway and would not be repaired -- or would cost me out of pocket to be repaired. For now, unless I outright replace all three monitors, Ill keep using them. I re-arranged them so that the one monitor that doesnt (yet) have this issue is my center screen and the two that do have this issue look as pictured for 5 - 10 minutes on cold boot, then work normally -- but they are getting progressively worse and I expect that in time these monitors will fail completely. TLDR; 2/3 monitors are in partial failure and are anticipated to fail completely over time, the third one is still as good as the day I bought it. The picture quality when they are working is great (for 1080p) and the 144hz refresh rate has been great for frame sensitive gaming. After finally using FreeSync, Im not sure I could go back to a gaming screen without it. I really like the monitor, but if you do take a risk on these screens I suggest you RMA or return them at first sign of failure, as it will only continue to get worse.

> 24 hourMy first 144hz Monitor and Curved at that, and I love this Monitor!!!! It’s breathtaking how accurate and eye catching the color is. I’ve improved at overwatch and even Rainbow 6 Siege. I have had so much fun with this monitor so far and it’s really immersive. Even has a little panel on the back for cable management. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get into gaming and wanting to get a curved monitor.

> 24 hourWorks as advertised, screen was a bit dark and also a bit green out of the box. Nothing a bit of tweaking cant fix! The curve isnt very noticeable so I wouldnt buy this monitor just for that, the display is buttery smooth and eliminated all screen tearing that I had before. (optix g24c 24 inch, 144hz, curved gaming monitor)

> 24 hourI just got his monitor today and let me tell you this thing is awesome. Not only is it fairly cheap but the colors on the monitors look sexy. For any gamer on a budget you wants a nice 144 hrtz monitor I would recommend this. I played 3 games after getting this just to test it out and got to GC in RL.

> 24 hourThis has been a really nice screen for me, aside from just gaming, the curve makes up for the size and makes it very effective for watching movies with 2-3 friends due to the superb viewing angles. Short of a $500 ultra wide curved 144hz monster monitor, this is a really solid choice and well worth the price. The stand is hefty and very stable, being made entirely of metal with no plastic parts. Remember to keep the box for moving! Curved monitors are harder to travel with safely and the molded styrofoam makes for some nice peace of mind when I go from place to place.
