MSI MAG345CQR Curved Gaming Monitor UWQHD(3440×1440) 34″ 180Hz VA w/ AMD FreeSync Premium, Dual HDMI, DisplayPort, Black

Pros: -Price
-Refresh rate
-Image quality
-Great looking blacks and vibrant colors (depending on settings) Cons: -Visual smearing in dark environments(depending on game)(mostly fixed by increasing response time to fastest)
-HDR is severely washed out and not particularly impressive(non hdr is MUCH prettier)
-Adaptive sync leaves a whole lot to be desired
-Viewing angle Overall Review: For the price this is a GREAT monitor. I was hesitant to buy due to only having expierence with ips displays but this monitor absolutely blew me away. The price to performance ratio is stunning, you won’t be getting oled quality but you also don’t have to sell a kidney for this monitor either. It’s faster(refresh rate) than my old ips monitor, has a much wider color gambit, and a much higher contrast ratio. All while being cheaper AND a curved ultrawide with better image quality. It’s a VA, LCD panel though so it defiently has some drawbacks that a ips panel doesn’t suffer from. Firstly If you are sensitive to visual smearing this might not be the monitor for you, there is some visual smearing left over even if you have all settings in place to reduce said smearing. It’s not terrible however, but that will be up to you if that’s worth the tradeoff. Secondly while it says HDR ready, it’s not really capable of producing a proper hdr picture. The colors become washed out to a jarring extent even after calibration. Non HDR mode is much prettier and if you want a more vibrant picture just crank the contrast up a bit and you won’t be disappointed. Also while I’m not the target demographic for adaptive sync as I play mostly PVE games I couldn’t see how anyone could use it. The ghosting was so bad I thought I was in a paranormal activity movie. Finally the viewing angle for the best picture is pretty picky, it doesn’t really affect me since I ussually sit eye level and straight on from my monitor. But for some individuals I could see that being a issue. All that being said this is a great monitor for the money and you’d be hard pressed to find a better value.

Pros: The image is crisp and bright enough for me – I do not have young eyes anymore. Cons: The only con is how far it protrudes from the wall with its included stand, so I have had to wall mount mine, but I expected this to be the case before I bought it. Overall Review: All in all, very happy with it and I would recommend it; wide screens are better curved in my opinion and the curvier the better. To get curvier than this would have been an 800R and 4 or 5 times the price.

Pros: Value for the money Cons: None Overall Review: Great monitor for gaming. Got this for my racing sim PC and it works well. Very good monitor for the money.

Pros: – Easy Setup Cons: – Over time within over a month the resolution has degraded significantly. Image is extremely grainy. Tested on multiple devices connected to the monitor to ensure it wasn’t a device issue. Overall Review: Would not recommend and save up for a better monitor.
