    Very good image quality, love the 144hz refresh rate, my one complaint is that the area where you plug in for power and display port is very tight, and if you have a cable with a big block where the connector is, you will struggle a little to plug it in.

    I 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.

    I really like the 144hz, just dont like how i cant tilt the monitor up but this is really a solid monitor- if you have the choice between 60 and 144hz- go for 144 100%

    I bought this monitor to replace a Samsung sd24300 60hz, nothing wrong with it just wanted to game above 60fps. Im impressed at the quality of image and the colors, also i thought the curved screen was nothing but a gimmick not the main reason I bought this for but it won me over now. Im really satisfied with this purchase. Will update if I encounter issues with it.

    Decent Monitor for price, monitor came with 2 dead pixels directly next to eachother that I noticed recently. Going to attempt to get a refund/replacement. Already tried to get a refund before I noticed them, they said no. Lets see if they care about the defective pixels. Overall the 144 refresh rate is wonderful, I highly recommend making the jump if you are on 60, or 75. XFX AMD GPUs tend to have a horrible stutter, (every 3 seconds for 1 second) which I believe was fixed in the latest driver version, I no longer own the XFX card, but have been helping redditors solve the issue, to a success. The workaround seems to be : DDU drivers, Install 17.x and then update to 18/19.x This is my first time writing a non 5 star review on amazon, which sucks. Another redditor claimed to receieve a dead pixel on his unit, which they replaced. Still a great monitor for those who want to experience high refresh rates at a great price.

    This 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.

    For the price its fine, but compared to a couple Dell monitors I had its quality was way lower. The blacks are not true black, at best a dark shade of gray. The color blue is not as sharp as compared to my other monitors as well. If this is the only monitor on your desk it would be just fine, but when you are able to compare it to others I have the say the quality of my 5 year old Dell displays is hands down better. Unfortunately it Hass to go back to Amazon. I think I will try the next price level up and see if the quality is any better.

    I nutted when the package arrived at my house, nutted even harder when I saw the picture quality of this. This monitor is a bargain for $220 (plus $30 shipping when I bought it), very satisfied with the monitor.
