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

I was very hesitant to buy this monitor at first because of it not having a lot of reviews. Im glad I did though this monitor is worth it. I was upgrading from a dual asus 24 inch monitor setup that i was very disappointed with. This is the type of quality 34 inch 3440x1440 i was hoping to get. The price is excellent for what you are getting compared to some others. The picture quality is superb. There is zero back light bleed. No dead pixels or any defects in the time that I have had it. The box it was shipped in was good and the monitor was well protected inside. It has the capability of doing picture in picture, and picture by picture. With the display port cable hooked up it gives you 144hz as advertised. Its easy to set up and change picture settings to make it right for you. I have mine set up on a Vesa arm desk mount,it comes with the hardware in the box to work with the Vesa mount which I saw in another review on here. The stand is pretty big so youll want to make sure your desk has enough space for it to sit on. The stand is feels nice and solid if you go with that option. The curved screen took a week or so to get use to but the viewing from all angles is very good. Overall I could not be happier with this purchase. I hope that if you are struggling to make a decision to buy a monitor like I was that this helps.

I 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.

The jump from 60hz to 144hz was mind melting. The hdr setting is beautiful, gaming on this beast is phenomenal. I’m running this monitor and another off of a gtx 1070 and I have had no issues. For such a low price this monitor is unbeatable!

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.

The 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!

Ordered 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.

Upgraded to this after my previous monitor (30 in. Spectre ultrawide @ 2560x1080 200hz) died after 2 years of use out of the blue because the capacitors burnt out. After a bit of contrast and RGB calibration out of the box, the colors look even sharper than the Spectre. Definitely a lot less gray and more defined. The backlight bleeding the Spectre suffered from is also practically nonexistent in this one. Very even lighting through and through. FFXIV looks much more crisp at this resolution, to the point where Ive disabled most of the custom FXAA/bloom/blur shaders I previously used at 2560x1080 which helped hide the jaggedness. Overall quite happy with my purchase. I cannot elaborate on VA smearing and response times as I do not play FPS games, and this is perfect so far for my MMO + programming needs.

This monitors looks amazing! Definitely worth the buy. I can do multiple processes without the need to have multiple monitors.

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.
