> 24 hourPicture quality wise this monitor is great. But it will randomly go out in a frozen black pic where even the power button will not work and unit needs to be unplugged. This happens 2-3 times per week. I am going to see if issue persists not that I have a new GPU for with monitor. If it does I will need this serviced as a defect. But when not randomly going out the pic quality and in game response is amazing. I am using stock display port cable that came with the monitor. If this issue resolves itself or if MSI make repairs smooth I will raise this rating.

> 24 hourThe image quality is very good although had to make some adjustment, its not the same quality as an IPS monitor but still works great. I recommend this monitor 100%

> 24 hourOrdered the monitor mostly for work (software development) and some casual gaming. My 2060 struggles to get the most out of the panel in some games but that was to be expected. Overall amazing picture quality and a great refresh rate for the price.

> 24 hourThe monitor rocks, I love it for gaming and work. Its crisp and fast and very clean. The stand is ridiculous. It is so long and wide that it takes up most of the desk. This would not be a problem is the monitor raised up to a good level, which is does not. So now I have a giant stand propped up with books. If you have a small desk, I would advise getting a VESA mount and removing the base. If the base was not so absurd I would have given it 5/5

> 24 hourThis is my first purchase of an ultrawide monitor, and this monitor completely delivers. The monitor itself is gorgeous and has amazing quality. I was initially a little hesitant to purchase this monitor as it wasnt as pricey as other brands, but I have no regrets. The picture quality is amazing for a VA panel (after proper calibration/configuration). I highly recommend! The only caveat is that the stand may take up a lot of space depth-wise.

> 24 hourOverall is a good monitor, the colors are excellent. The controls are terrible, it really needs a remote or an app. i dont use the LED in the back since you have to use the controls to make changes and is a pain, I use ICUE for everything RGB all in one solution from Corsair. I would recommend this monitor but at a lower price.

> 24 hourI have been using this monitor for approximately a year now and its an amazing monitor, especially for my first 1440p monitor. The curve is perfect as a dual monitor replacement and worked great w/ my KVM switch. Gaming picture quality and refresh rate are great for the price to performance ratio.

> 24 hourThe monitor came DOA (dead on arrival). Because I wanted this size and parameters, I asked for replace but in Colombia is not possible. Also there is no guarantee service with the local repair office because is purchased from Amazon and the guarantee is in US. The only option was to return it to Amazon. Very bad service from MSI and I really wanted to have this monitor but Im so disappointed now. After I return this monitor Ill buy another one but not MSI. I los trust with this brand really. If they have such quality you can imagine it can fail whatever moment and it can be outside of the warranty. Or maybe I have to send it to USA for repair which is non sense. They dont serve all they products in the local office!

> 24 hourThis was the first 34 ultrawide monitor I have ever purchased. The size of the monitor fits great on a 48 desk with it leaving enough room for a desktop of most sizes. I have decided that I will return this monitor in particular as it did not meet some of my requirements. The PROS of this monitor are that the overall build of the monitor is solid and sleek. I enjoy the aggressive but sleek design of the stand with and included features of height, swivel, and title adjustment. Another great thing about the stand is that it just snaps into the back of the monitor making for an easy installation. The anti-glare/ matte screen is nice and smooth. I also like having the power brick outside of the monitor in case it needs to be replaced. CONS of the monitor are the user interface is very clunky and the buttons need a lot of pressure to be pushed. The main con and the reason I am sending the monitor back is that I have a burnt-out cluster of pixels. Also, the backlight bleeding is absolutely awful when using YouTube or any other application where one object is dark and the other is bright. It has a UFO-like glow around the objects.
