MSI Full HD Rapid-IPS 1ms 2560 x 1080 Ultra Wide 200Hz Refresh Rate HDR Ready G-Sync Compatible 30” Gaming Monitor (Optix MAG301RF)

I love just how big and light weight it is along with the amazing refresh rate. It was easy to set up on my table mount and mounting it on my table because of how light weight it is. Only thing that kind of bothers me is some games have the black border since some dont support ultra wide but just the 2560 x 1080 itself

This monitor fills a very specific niche but it does it well. I love ultrawides but 34 is too large to be used everyday comfortably for me. Also, 2560x1080 is an easier resolution to drive than 3440x1440. I have a RTX 3060ti and it is perfect for this monitor. The colors out of the box are kind of washed out with very little pop. I had to mess with various settings to get the vibrant effect I like. My unit came with zero dead pixels and very little back light bleeding (even with high brightness). The HDR compatibility is almost a waste of time. The monitor itself doesnt get that bright and turning it on doesnt really do anything for most games. The only game I see a difference on is Doom Eternal and it absolutely makes the colors bright and vibrant. It really looks fantastic. I suppose its how the actual game was designed and not the monitor itself in most cases. Fun Fact: if you create a custom resolution in the Nvdia control panel you can enable 10 bit color up to 191hz @ 2560x1080. I dont see a difference but maybe somebody will. The 200hz feels super smooth and is very responsive. Blur busters UFO test shows nice details. Minimal motion blur. I hate VA panels due to the smearing effect. This is really the only monitor in town that is an ultrawide 30inches, IPS and 200HZ. Black frame insertion is present and actually works but due to the low brightness of the monitor it darkens the pictures a little too much for my eyes. Some games look good . Some dont. Its nice to have the option though. Minimal gamer aesthetics. With the exception of the RGB strip on the back this looks like a normal monitor with a normal stand that doesnt stick out too much. You can turn the RGB strip off in the settings. In the end Im super happy with the monitor and would recommend it to anybody looking for these specific features. I paid under 300 w/tax for this and I feel its a steal for that. There is lots of value here.

First i bought acer phiblix 31.5 used 5 mins and took back to bestbuy absolutely disgusting pixelate picture all gray If you compare with samsung on left blacks are much deeper on samsung,strangely this one is grayish, dont have gray on my 27inch mag thought now comes the boss, MSI MAG only caviats on it the big ugly leg and the height of it is narrow not like the 27inch msi ones USER FRIENDLY INTERFACE, god that button is amazing just annoys when clicks in feels cheap sound ok to buy for work for home get qhd 2 msi 27inch ips ones and done

this monitor looks amazing i think its the best monitor for the price i cant find a single thing to complain about.

I have a 240hz 25” Alienware monitor but wanted to try ultrawide gaming against the recommendation of everyone I game with. I was given a bunch of reasons why a competitive FPS player shouldn’t go ultrawide but after setting this monitor up, I have completely shut those ideas out. I am beyond happy with the picture quality and performance. The picture is beautiful, the response is snappy, and I have no noticeable ghosting. Also, it’s 30”, not 34+, and I do not find myself turning my head to see the whole screen as I was warned about by my buddies and from what I was reading online. SO…If you’re worried about whether or not it’s viable to play FPS(or any games really) on an ultrawide I’d give this a shot as the price point isn’t absurdly high like most of its competitors. Bang for your buck is an understatement, I absolutely love it.

This gaming monitor is by far the best Ive ever played games on. The price of this thing is insane. It out competes almost every monitor in its price range. MSI has done it again. What an amazing company for gamers. I own several msi products. Buy this trust me!

I write this review as a casual gamer, full-time student, and someone who uses CAD while working at home. In terms of value, I think there is a sufficient amount here. Let me explain why. When comparing apples to apples, you can easily find a widescreen for under $200 at 75 Hz. If you want a faster refresh rate, youre immediately over $200. If you want this for more than gaming, perhaps you are looking at PIP, PNP, i.e. splitting the screen. You could find a worse Chinese brand and save $10... or your could get one from a company that has a reputation to uphold. I have already bought from MSI and they honored a warranty on my laptop. It takes a little more than plugging and playing, but not much. The one thing you will need to do is go to your graphics card settings and make sure you are in low latency mode. I still havent gotten the color quite right, but I think there are enough controls that I eventually will. My monitor is against the wall, so sorry I dont actually care about the RGB color strip. I will review the stand while the wall mount is on the way, though. Its a quality stand that hooks into the monitor and screws on. The base is sufficiently heavy. The monitor easily slides up and down and tilts forward and back, but not side to side. You can fit a VESA mount on it if its small enough to fit inside the 4 3/4 square on the back (100mm x 100mm hole spacing) or use the included screw hole extenders if the plate is larger. The input ports are well below the mounting point, so they are pointed down and out of the way of any mounting plates. There is a little cable management hole in the base of the stand for those who care. This is probably more than I need for my laptops 1660 TI. I think if I were to buy again, Id get a 75 Hz monitor since games like Splitgate rarely exceed 70 Hz when I plug into this monitor (around 100 Hz on a 1920x1080 screen). Somehow, higher refresh rates make me want to puke less after hours of use, though, which is important to me. One more thing: I think the menu on this monitor is a bit sparse. I have seen other MSI monitor interfaces online and they offer far more customization.

Muy buen monitor, llego en buen estado y la imagen es excelente!

Unboxing and set up was a breeze, immediately set the refresh rate to max and played a few games and was impressed at how smooth it was. Havent had much time with it yet but so far so good.

The monitor arrived in perfect condition, zero dead pixels and no backlight bleed at all. The monitor adjusts up and down on the stand which is a very nice touch. Monitor itself is great with refresh rate and colors, it was simply missing one thing, the power cord. I had no way of powering it for 2-3 days until I found what type of power connector it used. Other than that, I had no problem with the monitor.
