I purchased this Prior to any reviews about the product will say so far so good. Was looking for 144hz around 200 bucks, gambled not sad I did. Somethings to note. 165hz refresh rate Comes with cables – display port, hdmi 23.5 inch Screen with a (con)1/4 inch bezel on 3 sides Curve is nice.
Overall seems nicely built solid stand, the RGB lighting in the back is a nice addition. How rough the box arrived seemed like everyone who touched it dropped it, the monitor seems to have made it unscathed. Will update if anything changes.

Came with a dead pixel. This is my third try between Asus and MSI to get a good monitor. Neither company has good QC. VA panels have horrible refresh rates for gaming. The contrast is good that’s about the only redeeming quality for VA. The pixels also had a slight gap horizontally between them which made everything look pixelated even more than my 7 year old 60hz TN panel I was trying to replace. Curved displays are also a gimmick. I thought it would be more immersive like the reviews for curved displays said but honestly it kind of just hurt my eyes adjusting to it and didn’t really add much. Also the MSI mystic light software to control the RGB lights on the back of the monitor, that aren’t even bright enough to see from the front, didn’t work properly.

I’ve had the same old Dell Monitor for about 10 years and decided it was time to upgrade. I had amazon points to spare so I bought this with them since it fit the form factor I wanted. It was easy enough to setup and I loved the resolution upgrade. Unfortunately within a week of using it a vertical line of pixels showed up in the screen! Nothing happened to it, no jostling, nothing changed, they just randomly appeared. Really frustrating. I am attempting to contact MSI and the seller about this, but for now I am very frustrated.

I would say for my first 144hz monitor, it is quite amazing. I was worried about it being curved, but personally, I don’t notice it while playing a game. Clear visual, easy to set up on a vsa mount. Will get another one soon!

No tengo queja, en general todo bien. La calidad de imagen es muy buena, la alta tasa de refresco y respuesta rápida lo hacen un monitor gamer con las 3 B. El otro detalle que me agrado fueron los LED RGB que tiene en la parte posterior del monitor, personalmente no es un factor de compra pero se agradece que lo incluya.

The monitor is overall decent, refresh rate is stable and has a clear image when gaming. However the issue I found is that there is a vertical gradient for brightness. The top of my monitor is very bright, and appears great. However, it gets less and less bright as you get closer to the bottom. I have tried different angles and positions for the monitor hoping it was just my seating position, but unfortunately was the monitor itself. This may not bother some users, but for someone that uses it for familiar games, it brings a drastic change that did not sit well with for me

Recently got into FPS gaming. Needed a 140hz monitor. This was a reputable brand at a price range I could accept.
Overall smoothness of picture. Great. Noticeable difference between 60hz and the new 140-165hz.
Picture quality isn’t as smooth as it could be. But it is manageable with some color setting correction.
Only problem if you have a Nivida graphics card the free sync soft wear on the monitor was causing me some problems. It’s not a free sync compatible gsync monitor so you have to disable these features or you end up with screen tear and stuttering.
Build quality is amazing. I could kill a deer with this monitor stand!
Acceptable picture quality to price range. Noticeable difference from 60 he as an upgrade. Great build quality.

I hate the fact that I waiting because the monitors were on back order. Once I received them one was damaged. Now I have to wait again. I hope there are no more issues.

I am currently using it for my ps4. I liked it straight from the start. Nice curved screen and the back colours were nice ( not bright enough to light up the wall behind btw ) came from a samsung 27 inch monitor to this one. The 23 inch curved msi monitor i got has a screen issue i believe. When somthing would move on the screen like a video/movie or video game i would get a very weird fadded shadow effect following the moving object. Ruins the whole feel of the monitor and i tried going thru all the setting and seeing if i pressed anything wrong but no setting changes it. I dont use it anymore and i honestly can’t recommend the monitor. I got it on sale for 250 and i wish i never got it. I was honestly hoping i could use it for a ps5 with the 165hz screen it has. But i will need to find another replacement for that as this monitor has an issue. Hope this can help someone make a decision on thier purchase.

Es un producto que me encanto y va hacer un gran cambio en mi setup e igual en el gaming ! Yo estaba muy dudoso de comprar un monitor por amazon ( los comentarios de los productos ) me ponia nervioso si el monitor iba a llegar todo golpeado y con pixeles muertos, etc. Pero al momento que llego el repartidor con la caja MI CABEZA EXPLOTO y estaba en perfectas condiciones ! finalmente lo conecte y todo salio perfecto ! Mis puntos :
▪︎Calidad de imagen 10/10
▪︎Tamaño 10/10 ( yo pensaba que iba estar muy pero muy pequeño por videos que veo, pero estaba perfecto! )
▪︎Jugar 10/10 ( yo juego mediante consola en una PS4 y funciona perfecto! )
▪︎Montar monitor 10/10 Super facil de armarlo no me tardo ni 30 minutos y ya estaba jugando
▪︎Esteticamente ¡HERMOSO! 1000/10
▪︎Finalmente todo es un 10
Espero mi comentario les funcione si quieren adquirir este monitor ( se los recomiendo mucho )
