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

I generally don't leave reviews, but I just have to tell everyone how great this monitor is.The monitor arrived in perfect condition. Zero dead pixels and no backlight bleed at all. The Monitor was color calibrated out of the box perfect. The screen lighting uniformity is also perfect. I've been waiting for an IPS GSYNC 200hz Ultrawide in 29/30" (2560x1080) for years now. This is the first monitor to fit the bill and it is absolutely perfect. There really is no other word for it. The Monitor telescopes up and down on the stand which is a very nice touch. I honestly can't believe it's at this low of a price point. I would have easily paid twice the price for this monitor.I've tested GSYNC and HDR using Destiny 2 running on a Razer Blade w/ RTX 2080 and both work perfect. GSYNC is buttery smooth and HDR colors pop so much it almost looks 3D.It also has a cross hair built in that you can bring up on the screen if you like sort of thing that games can not detect.If you are thinking about buying this monitor, definitely do not hesitate. You will be very satisfied.For my taste this is the perfect size gaming monitor and it's the only 29/30" (2560x1080) Ultrawide monitor to have an IPS panel with GSYNC and 200Hz. It does not disappoint, it's simply.....perfect.One thing I wanted to add was this monitor is flat. The discriptions says curved but this monitor is actually flat and not curved at all. I prefer the monitor to be flat and because I had read up on this monitor before buying I knew it was flat when purchasing it but I did want everyone to know the discription on that part is wrong, it is indeed a completely flat screen monitor.

Got this for $200 in 2022. 100% worth that price. Amazing monitor. I had to mod lethal company, Skyrim, fallout 4 and more games to actually work in ultrawide, not the monitors fault, just lack of support from developers. Elden ring plays in 1920x1080 with a little stretch due to Elden Ring having anti cheat that doesn't cause ultra wide to work. But the fact the screen does the stretching for working with consoles and Elden Ring is great. I have nothing bad to say about the monitor, Vesa mount that I use works great on this. After 2 years I'd like to upgrade to a oled screen, but I'll probably run this monitor till it dies, and after 2 years, it still is amazing.

For almost 12 years I was using a more square 28" monitor but it began having problems, I looked around and noticed this monitor, it had good reviews and Amazon had the best price. I didn't realize how much more wide the screen was until I unboxed it, I was unsure how much I would like the width, I do some light video and photo work but I don't game, I do watch a few movies and youtube. After using the first few times I've come to favor this monitor over the last one, much more. I have two desktop computers, the other desktop computer uses the exact style monitor that I was using before it went bad on this desktop now using the MSI, I prefer this MSI. This MSI is a flat screen, it has good colors and works perfectly! The MSI monitor comes with several types of connectors, I am using the MDMI 1, it has no VGA which I was using on the previous monitor.

At first I got the more expensive curved VA panel version of this monitor and I was severely disappointed in that monitor, I then sold that monitor and got this and am very happy that I did.Pros:1. Colors are really good even better then my IPS gaming laptop. Contrast is also great, put it on sRGB and seer contrast to 65 and it’s perfect. And I own a 4K LG OLED.2. Ghosting is none existing once you put it on fast response time instead of fastest3. Stand is really strong and easy to put together.4. Love the 200hz refresh rate.5. Viewing angles are great.6. Gsync works perfectly.7. I actually prefer it being flat instead of curved.Cons:1. Stand isn’t the most attractive2. RGB light in the back is nice but I don’t like how it’s off center. Not a big deal tho.Overall I am very happy with this monitor and I also snagged it up for a nice sale price of $200 but I would even recommend this monitor if it was $300.Edit: I did end up returning the monitor because of a dead pixel and got myself a lg OLED as a monitor but I’m sure it was a fluke and I still stand by everything I said.
