MSI G243CV, 24 Gaming Monitor, 1920 x 1080 (FHD), VA, 75Hz, FreeSync, VGA Port HDMI, Tilt, Black

When I saw a 24” curved gaming monitor for under $130 I got excited and quickly bought one because I thought it was perfect to fill a hole in my setup. But when I unboxed, I was in for some head-scratching surprises. 1: There is no DisplayPort connector for your video card. There is only a single HDMI and a VGA???? The heck? What self-respecting gamer uses VGA? At minimum it needs a HDMI and a DVI. But no, this takes a step 20 years backwards. 2: YOU CANNOT MOUNT IT WITH A MOUNT. The back has two screw holes that are not a standard configuration for aftermarket mounts. You are required to use the included stand unless you want to build a wooden or machined rig to get it to fit on a mount (not worth it to me. Just give me the standard four holes please). 3. 75 Hz refresh rate. I’m surprised you could even advertise this as a “gaming” monitor for less than 100Hz here. Advertising regulators should pay attention! ***EDIT It DOES have a 1ms response time which all good gaming monitors should have. But that the refresh rate alone makes this just slightly better than a regular monitor youd use for everyday tasks. It’s not a terrible monitor. But you get what you pay for here.

The year is 2022 and these monitors ONLY have one HDMI port and one VGA port. VGA is so old, I dont understand how this was the only other option they could think of. I bought two of these monitors for my girlfriend and Im having a hell of a time trying to keep both monitors on and separate. I ran into a fluke and somehow got both to work separately for a while but, after the latest Windows 10 update, I havent been able to connect both monitors. The screens will either become the same or one will just not display anything at all. You know what would solve my issue? Having a Display Port. Simple as that. Even Dell computers from 2014 have Display Ports yet this MSI gaming monitor from 2021 literally has one HDMI and a prehistoric VGA? Thats disappointing for the amount of money I spent. If anybody in the comments reads this, understands my situation, and has an idea that maybe solved a similar issue for themselves, please share with me.

I bought this as TWO separate monitors. One box came with an HDMI cable. The other box came with the AC power cord so I am short of one power cord and I assume one HDMI cable. The base for the monitors are too weak and break easily. Also screwing in the base is frustrating by hand AND drill. These need revisions.

Great monitor, but already a dead pixel in less than 3 months of owning this!!

This monitor improved my workflow with research and writing. It’s nice to look at, fits on my desk well. Worth every penny.
