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

The monitor did NOT come with a power adapter MSI told me they sold it to Newegg, not this “company” EDIT: The “company” keeps changing their name on Amazon. Product still garbage. After getting a power adapter (I had to buy one separate), monitor still will not turn on. This product is garbage and I will be returning. Wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t honor the refund. Slimy company

This was my introduction to the Ultrawide segment, and I gotta say, I might stick with them in the future. Screen is good, no major ghosting or overshoot to speak of.

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

Es necesario considerar que trae un cable de alimentación que no rinde para las especificaciones, constantemente se apagaba, es sensible a las variaciones de corriente mínimas, recomiendo cbiar el cable de alimentación por uno adecuado y deejor calidad, más allá de ese detalle es bello probar sus 200hz y el IPS. Buen producto. Doy 4 estrellas por el detalle del cable.

This is 100% the best ultra wide monitor you can buy for the price. Some said that it doesn’t come with a ac adapter but mine did. It can support up to 200hz with display port, not sure about hdmi. It has rgb on the back of it witch is a nice touch. The stand is really hefty and has some weight to it. It’s a nice brushed aluminum stand but the bottom piece is a little large but it should be fine for most. It’s an ips panel with great colors and viewing angles. There is very little ghosting and you won’t even notice it unless you are really looking for it. Overall, if you don’t want to spend a fortune for a ultra wide monitor, then you should get this monitor.

I got this monitor used, but even despite it being used I still enjoy using this, the condition it came in was good, though It had a few stuck pixels that only are apparent on certain color backgrounds such as black, or white. The stuck pixels dont bother me one bit during my gaming sessions because I only notice them when I look for them. I came from a VA,144hz, panel and I didnt think I wouldnt notice a difference in refresh rate, but I was massively surprised to find out it did. I noticed the difference mostly in games apposed to desktop use, and I wouldnt be surprised if the jump from 200 to 240hz would be different too. Overall this is a good monitor dont expect the stuck pixel problem I have when youre buying it new.

Bought this monitor after looking at several similar sized monitors both curved and not and am very pleased with it, turned right on out of the box with no issues. I would definitely recommend to a friend and buy again if I need to!

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.

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.

This monitor is one of the best monitors Ive ever had. The colors have to be adjusted out the box cause they are kind of washed out but afterwards it looks incredible. I thought there would be some noticeable pixels since Im coming from 2560x1440p resolutions but it looks just as good as my AOC 1440p monitor. The 200hz is really nice and feels buttery smooth and no ghosting at all. Going from a VA panel to IPS really makes the difference. I got this for $250 but I think its worth shelling out the money at $299. Only problem that I have is that the power supply for the monitor makes a whining noise and Im sure that its just mine. At the end of the day though if youre having doubts about this bad boy dont. The HDR, the refresh rate, response time and the fact that its ultrawide makes this monitor a steal for its pricing point. PLUS it has USB ports.
