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

This monitor is so slept on, I was kind of iffy about buying a monitor this large without any sort of curve but it’s honestly not bad. The picture quality is amazing, and I have no complaints.

Ordered 10/28/21, sold and shipped by Amazon, and mine did come with a power adapter.

Had 34 curved ultrawide 1440p @ 144hz VA panel (on top in pic) & switched to this. Its smoother with better colors & perfect size. No regrets. Easier to run with sharp 1080p when downscaling from 1440p 1) Accurate srgb panel, not washed out nor oversaturated. Only through software can you adjust that, console colors wont pop. 2) Panel is fast but has some blur with white on fast moving objects. Reduce it by MPRT. It stops gsync/freesync and lowers brightness. MPRT wont work on consoles 60hz. 3) Good downscale 1440p to 1080p using DSR on NVidia due to 94ppi 4) Has crosshair overlay (red or white) 5) Image Enhancement is great for Switch games 6) built in usb hub 7) With Pc on, panel wont sleep Ultrawide 1080p is the way to go in Warzone or Battlefield ;)

I think the best word is perfect, simply perfect, nothing to envy anyone else, nothing to say.

Bought this screen for my brothers birthday and he was blown away. Hes a beginner in PC gaming and this is a great screen.

Amazing monitor. Highly recommend. Very unique and niche but is perfect for my setup.

I had to get a new monitor and decided this would be a good balance for work and gaming. So far its not bad.

I like the design and clean look of this monitor. It is affordable with that specs. Only wish it comes with speakers.

I bought it off of the warehouse. Expected cosmetic damages and the label mentionned some hygienic concerns. When I opened the box I expected flagrant scratches or damages. Plus coffee stains perhaps. The screen came in a brand new wrap, OG or not it was clean. Ive been using it for two weeks now and no flickering, no dead pixels, no nothing. Works perfectly. The image is wide and clear. My sole problem with it is that I havent been able to find the graphics settings that I find most pleasing. Meaning that I find the screen either too bright or too dark. Im in a dark environnement. Also the joystick for the menu works awesomely. Its really a marvelous feature.

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.
