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 was about to settle for a lame 29 incher 75hz LG monitor since im not interested in huge monitors or a resolution higher than 1080p (i sit far enough from the screen). Suddenly this monitor showed up in my recommendation page and couldnt believe my eyes! UWFHD @200hz?????? you gotta be kidding... AND IT WAS ON SALEEEE????? Didnt think twice it was purchased immediately, arrived in pristine condition in a huge box, it did come with a power brick as opposed as some other reviewers and its just beautiful to look at. ***BE AWARE*** 200hz through DP and 180hz through HDMI. The monitor offers HDR support with 10-bit depth @165hz max if you NEED the 200hz you will be limited to 8-bit depth, but lets be honest, youre not gonna use this monitor for colorimetry ALTHOUGH YOU COULD. it covers 104% sRGB so colors are splendid. Productivity went up 100% and gaming immersion went up 200% Splendid monitor, dont think twice

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.

I love this gaming monitor. The stand is very sturdy and rotates nicely. The border around the glass is very thin on all 3 sides and the fourth side is nice and dark. Assembly was cake and the G-sync function, 1ms response time and 200hz refresh rate really make this the perfect gaming monitor for the price. It came with an HDMI cord, a DP cord, and a USB 3.0 cord. I can see why this brand is used in tournament play. The RGB is not so bright that it is a distraction which I also like. This is probably the best deal for the money on Amazon at the moment that is made for Nvidia gaming.

Bought it during prime day sales hoping to finally experience a decent ultrawide monitor. Overall the picture quality was great and i loved playing games like Red Dead Redemption 2 on it. The back light bleeding through is a bit blotchy but it didnt bother me too much. My main 2 problems were while playing some games in full screen mode if i tabbed out and then tried to tab back in the monitor would black out as if it is trying to be detected by my pc again and would refuse to actually let the game show up again. Sometimes forcing me to restart my game. This has happened for so many games i just couldnt deal with it anymore as i hate playing in windowed mode. The other more minor problem is that unlike other monitors on the market, if you turn off the monitor with the power button the pc treats it like it is no longer connected at all forcing any and all windows along with desktop icons to another monitor.(example being if im wanting to sit back and watch youtube on one monitor but want to turn off one monitor to conserve power). I ended up returning this monitor for that reason.

Can’t use the monitor because some fool at MSI decided to place a sliding slot on a perforated cardboard box for a power adapter. This is group think at it finest low. The box was delivered with the slot opened and a missing power adapter. It also arrived on a Sunday so msi support is closed.

good product !

Having graduated from gaming laptops and building my first desktop PC, I was in the market for a new monitor to pair with my RTX 3060ti. I primarily play simulators and driving games (American Truck Simulator, Dirt Rally, Farming Simulator) so a wide aspect ratio was attractive to me. I knew a 1440p wide monitor would be pushing up against what I was comfortable with asking of my GPU, so the MAG301RF seemed to be a perfect fit. Not massive, but the additional side space makes a huge difference. The pricepoint of this monitor is a fantastic value for anyone wanting to get into wide monitors, and the refresh rate and response time only sweeten the deal.

I had to order this product twice first one never showed up so I had to get a refund for that and then re order. They would not send me the first one no matter what I tried they just offered the refund and I was forced to rebuy it for 40 dollars more days later. The monitor itself offers very little options for changing any settings really and what is offered is poorly defined with a crappy and horrible ui on both pc and phone app.

Bien

I generally dont leave reviews, but I just have to tell everyone how great this monitor is. The monitor arrived in perfect condition. Zero dead pixels and no backlight bleed at all. The Monitor was color calibrated out of the box perfect. The screen lighting uniformity is also perfect. Ive been waiting for an IPS GSYNC 200hz Ultrawide in 29/30 (2560x1080) for years now. This is the first monitor to fit the bill and it is absolutely perfect. There really is no other word for it. The Monitor telescopes up and down on the stand which is a very nice touch. I honestly cant believe its at this low of a price point. I would have easily paid twice the price for this monitor. Ive tested GSYNC and HDR using Destiny 2 running on a Razer Blade w/ RTX 2080 and both work perfect. GSYNC is buttery smooth and HDR colors pop so much it almost looks 3D. It also has a cross hair built in that you can bring up on the screen if you like sort of thing that games can not detect. If you are thinking about buying this monitor, definitely do not hesitate. You will be very satisfied. For my taste this is the perfect size gaming monitor and its the only 29/30 (2560x1080) Ultrawide monitor to have an IPS panel with GSYNC and 200Hz. It does not disappoint, its simply.....perfect. One thing I wanted to add was this monitor is flat. The discriptions says curved but this monitor is actually flat and not curved at all. I prefer the monitor to be flat and because I had read up on this monitor before buying I knew it was flat when purchasing it but I did want everyone to know the discription on that part is wrong, it is indeed a completely flat screen monitor.
