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

Ips, ultrawide, 200hz, flat panel for under $300. This is the best bang for your buck ultrawide on the market right now. Its 29.5 inches and 2560x1080. The pixel density isnt bad at all under 30 inches at this resolution. Plus its easier to push higher fps at this res than 3440x1440. Input lag and response time are very good with this monitor. Colors are vibrant and the brightness is more than enough. Picture quality is very good, wat better than a TN panel. Dont get this thinking youll get VA level contrast ratio, its not gonna happen, but at the same time there is 0 black smearing or ghosting. It also has 2 USB ports built into the monitor which is a huge plus. If your looking for an ips ultrawide but dont want a junker 75hz or curved ($800) this is the way to go. Cod, Apex, Siege all play great with high fps using a rtx 3070 and i9 10850k CPU with this monitor.

Received the monitor for my sons school computer and it didnt include a power adapter... I now see that I am not the only one with this issue. Now I have the pleasure of calling MSI to try to get a power cord that will likely take weeks. A waste of time and money. Buy something else from another seller... not worth the hassle and I cant even fathom how the power cord would be removed or overlooked. Shoddy.

mu bueno 10/10

I have a 240hz 25” Alienware monitor but wanted to try ultrawide gaming against the recommendation of everyone I game with. I was given a bunch of reasons why a competitive FPS player shouldn’t go ultrawide but after setting this monitor up, I have completely shut those ideas out. I am beyond happy with the picture quality and performance. The picture is beautiful, the response is snappy, and I have no noticeable ghosting. Also, it’s 30”, not 34+, and I do not find myself turning my head to see the whole screen as I was warned about by my buddies and from what I was reading online. SO…If you’re worried about whether or not it’s viable to play FPS(or any games really) on an ultrawide I’d give this a shot as the price point isn’t absurdly high like most of its competitors. Bang for your buck is an understatement, I absolutely love it.

Honestly, it took awhile to dial this monitor in, but it has stopped working after 3 months. Going through warranty support is a joke, no live chat, just FAQ. DO NOT BUY MSI MONITORS

good product !

Pros: -Monitor looks great Cons:- No Power Adapter Overall Review: The last thing I needed was the monitor so you can imagine my excitement when I got off work and headed home to unwrap this beauty and fire up my new desktop as well. Opened the box up and assembled the base and everything, got the cables and headed to my desk and I noticed it. NO POWER ADAPTER Contacted amazon who said I need to contact the manufacturer. Contacted MSI and they didnt understand what I was asking for, after a brief phone call, they sent me a power adapter. Haven’t received it yet. MSI is a great company overall, but they really dropped the ball not including the power adapter with the monitor in the box...

For no reason screws inside started to fall and the plastic open on the side.

This is as an upgrade to an older 27-inch monitor. I use it in a home office space ... primarily for everyday use and photo/video editing. The 30-inch-wide screen makes a big difference. Being 4K with an adjustable stand at a bargain price ... made it a bargain I could not resist.

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.
