MSI MAG342CQM 1500R Curvature 21:9 Aspect Ratio Narrow Bezel 1ms 3440 x 1440 (UWQHD) 144Hz Refresh Rate Tilt/Swivel/Height/Pivot Adjustment 34 AMD Freesync Gaming Curved Monitor, Black

So, was fortunate. No issues with screen being broken, or dead pixels. Overall, satisfied with this and now have my older 27 acer in portriate on side. However, there are a couple faults which I can see on this. While its pretty obvious on the product page, there are no USB connections. Not that much an issue with a second monitor with a USB-B hub to make connecting periferrals to PC insead of spanning to PC, but if this is only monitor, reaching cable management nirvanah is a bit tricker. The only other fault I can see is that there is no means of changing the RGB on back; aside from just to off. As far as I am aware at writing this the only ones with that function are the steel series monitors. Still, these two are just nitpicks. The overall feel of the monitor is just perfection. Minimal bezels, responsive display, and a base holder that doesnt make me want to switch to vesa (quite yet). Could you ask for more? Yes with this price point. Am I satisfied with this purchase? Also yes.

Overall this is a beautiful monitor for gaming, got it today. However, I found it at a lower price same day of delivery on micro center for $379.99 and I figured amazon would price match no problem. Apparently Amazon DOES NOT PRICE MATCH, I would have never thought amazon would do that. What a disappointment, I would have never guessed amazon would be afraid of price competition. I already opened the box set it up and im sure amazon would just give me a hassle for trying to return it. Great monitor, terrible policy.

It is a wonderful screen love MSI

Excellent quality for resolution, brightness and if you are upgrading from 1080p, definitely worth the upgrade. The 34 allows for a productivity boost by being able to work on 3 different tabs at once, meaning no compromising with zooming in. Now heres where it lowers my rating: Right out of the box, one of the cables were damaged and just a bit of a kick in the butt seeing as youre paying a lot of money for a new, quality product, and youd expect it to come to you in good shape. As well, there is no protective wrap on the screen and I smudged it installing it. Id give it 4 for now, as I just received it. Edit: Have now had this monitor for a few days and I stand by my rating. Couple of other things: - The stand seems solid, but its a bit questionable. Probably best to mount with VESA - The menu settings are numerous, so lots of customizability - I was hoping the buttons didnt feel so cheap, they click really loudly and feel like cheap plastic - The monitor hook up to the stand itself wobbles slightly if you move something on your desk, be advised - Overall extra happy with the additional productivity boost (came from a 15.7 laptop screen, now added this monitor to the set up) - Note it comes with a display port, which is only really available for newer PCs. Prepare to either supply your own HDMI or just connect, idk I feel like I missed the memo on that one - I feel like I also missed the memo on the fact that it doesnt have speakers and the back has mild chroma lighting - Its a bit of a hassle to change the brightness, maybe Im missing a macro - Came with a lot of plastic and styrofoam if youre environmentally friendly, be ready to recycle - Make sure the dimensions of the stand itself can fit on your desk, its larger breadth-wise(front to back of the monitor) than expected - when you turn off the monitor, its off - nice if you want to blackout a room - Didnt really notice too much of a difference between my full HD laptop and this screen - Others have been quite impressed by this purchase as well Why should you trust my review? Im an avid gamer and masters student (plenty of multi-tasking and productivity-based activities) who is bound by a code of ethics and standards of professional conduct in my profession. Anyway, hope this helps and pineapple is allowed on pizza (not mandatory or necessary though)

The 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
