Its a amazing monitor ! the quality of the image its awesome

Bought this for my son and he loves it

After having this monitor for a few months coming from an equivalent ASUS(got damaged), it started having a red dotted vertical line going down the screen. This is a panel/ribbon cable quality issue and I will be returning to MSI for RMA with out of pocket shipping charges. I would not recommend this monitor. The quality was not terrible, but I would rather spend a little more and go with the ASUS again which had a much nicer image and I never ran into panel quality issues.

The monitor looks good, but it died after a week of use. I notice that the backlight would turn on but not the actual screen. I thought it was signal, so I tried other monitor but no issues on other. I then noticed that the menu wouldnt come up. thats when I realized the monitor was dead.

A few dead pixels about 6 months in. Also will lag a bit and cause cursor to jump on simple web searches. The thing looks amazing though, id buy it again even with those issues so far.

0 dead pixels, bright, sharp image

Overview/ Display - Let me first start off by saying this monitor is really one of the best things Ive seen in a while. Moving up from a Macbook pro-2015 15.4 to this display the difference is night and day. This screen is accurate when it comes to colors from what I can tell and it is bright, vivid, and best of all there is absolutely no backlight bleed on my panel or at least very minimal. At 34 inches this is massive, it dwarfs my laptop in comparison. But for productivity and media consumption it rocks. Im assuming gaming performance is good too BUT when Im able to test with an actual PC (currently inc a graphics card queue(-_-) ) I have yet to say. -Stand While Im not using the included stand it is heavy and seems to have great adjustability from what I can tell. The Menu- The menu is intuitive on this display, While it might not be super crazy like some Samsung monitors with literal joysticks it does have a streamlined menu that is easy to change any of the settings that come baked in. The LED ring on the back is a nice touch and has the option to turn it off. -Vesa mount- THIS DISPLAY WORKS WITH VESA, it comes with standoff screws to clear the back plastic and mounts securely to any wall or arm mount. I didnt know this at first but it does come with all the hardware needed to wall mount this. -Price For the price of $420 at the time of purchase, this monitor is outstanding and I highly recommend that anyone pick one up -Final thoughts While I cant say anything about gaming on this just yet I will come back and give my final thoughts on it in the next following months. AND TO NOTE: my computer is only outputting at 2560x1080 to this I cannot wait to see what this thing actually can do!!

This monitor exceeded my expectations. Easy to set up and get into use. Ive never owned nor have seen an UW monitor in the past, as well as experienced 144hz refresh rate. I was skeptical about the aspect ratio due to my Twitch streams and YouTube videos but there are work arounds for anything now a days! IF you have a PC that can run games in 3440x1440 with a higher framerate Id highly recommend checking this out. Even if not, at least being able to handle the resolution is a bonus as games look BEAUTIFUL. Color accuracy/brightness is a big thing for me and this monitor delivers, whether SDR or HDR. Customization is easy in this field as you can do it through the monitor OR theres software available for a seamless set-up. The price cannot be beaten for the product thats delivered, as a first time customer with MSI theyve left a great impression. Ive literally found 0 weaknesses in this monitor so far and all its strengths are as listed. Upgrading from a 24 1920x1080 monitor to this was the best decision Ive made recently in terms of gaming.

I bought this monitor while I had a 27 inch 2.7k wide monitor with only 60 FPS. I didn’t need an upgrade but I wanted one. At this price point I truly don’t think you’ll find anything on par with this monitor. The depth of color is incredible and the shadows are awesome, definitely recommend.

I bought this monitor for work and it has been a game changer. I can have multiple open windows and see them all. Picture quality is outstanding.
