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

Bought it during prime day sales hoping to finally experience a decent ultrawide monitor. Overall the picture quality was great and i loved playing games like Red Dead Redemption 2 on it. The back light bleeding through is a bit blotchy but it didnt bother me too much. My main 2 problems were while playing some games in full screen mode if i tabbed out and then tried to tab back in the monitor would black out as if it is trying to be detected by my pc again and would refuse to actually let the game show up again. Sometimes forcing me to restart my game. This has happened for so many games i just couldnt deal with it anymore as i hate playing in windowed mode. The other more minor problem is that unlike other monitors on the market, if you turn off the monitor with the power button the pc treats it like it is no longer connected at all forcing any and all windows along with desktop icons to another monitor.(example being if im wanting to sit back and watch youtube on one monitor but want to turn off one monitor to conserve power). I ended up returning this monitor for that reason.

As others have stated, and I probably should have seen, this seller is notorious for not including a power supply cable for the monitor. They, along with Amazon and MSI, are completely useless about getting a replacement out of this seller. DO NOT PURCHASE.

This monitor is one of the best monitors Ive ever had. The colors have to be adjusted out the box cause they are kind of washed out but afterwards it looks incredible. I thought there would be some noticeable pixels since Im coming from 2560x1440p resolutions but it looks just as good as my AOC 1440p monitor. The 200hz is really nice and feels buttery smooth and no ghosting at all. Going from a VA panel to IPS really makes the difference. I got this for $250 but I think its worth shelling out the money at $299. Only problem that I have is that the power supply for the monitor makes a whining noise and Im sure that its just mine. At the end of the day though if youre having doubts about this bad boy dont. The HDR, the refresh rate, response time and the fact that its ultrawide makes this monitor a steal for its pricing point. PLUS it has USB ports.

It is beautiful for what he needs it for. It was a birthday gift and he is 100% satisfied.

I bought 2 of these for a dual setup. So far, love them. My only issue is that the screen isnt a little higher to even out how wide it is. Other than that, great monitor, would recommend.

Sometimes the price may scare you with the what the product should be. But to be honest for most gamers you wont know the difference between an expensive screen and this one of we took the branding off and hid it from you behind a wall. If you are skepyical and want a cheap and good gaming monitor that is ultrawide for productivity also, then stop thinking and just buy it. This is the one for you.

I can’t say there is anything I dislike about this monitor. I’ve had it for about 2 months now and gaming on it has been a real joy so far!

Bought two of these monitors for me and my brother and both of them came packaged very nicely. The monitors themselves are fantastic as the colors on these are amazing and the IPS panel really shows the beauty of this monitor. Its also not curved but many curved monitors are VA and I really wanted an IPS panel widescreen monitor. It also came with power adapters so Im glad I got lucky. EDIT: After a couple of months, one of the monitor is starting to have flicker issues. I replaced the cable and tried it on different GPUs and I am positive that the monitor is now defective. MSI warranty for monitors is also mediocre as I would have to ship the monitor back and I do not have a box big enough to send it to them with. Wish they had an option to visit a near by repair.
