MSI MAG342CQM 1500R Curvature 21:9 Aspect Ratio Narrow Bezel 1ms 3440 x 1440 (UWQHD) 144Hz Refresh Rate Tilt/Swivel/Height/Pivot Adjustment 34 AMD Freesync Gaming Curved Monitor, Black

I researched this purchase for months, and waited months to post a review, and I will say Im throughly satisfied.

I want a 34 inch UWQHD 1440 ultrawide monitor under $500 For the Panel bit depth is 8 bit, not in my list: GIGABYTE G34WQC, AOC CU34G2X, samsung S34J550W , samsung C34G55T, ViewSonic OMNI VX3418-2KPC, Acer Nitro XZ342CK, Lenovo G34w-10 I only want 10 bit: ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B, Dell S3422DWG, LG 34WP65C-B, MSI MAG342CQR. Finally I choose MSI.

This monitors looks amazing! Definitely worth the buy. I can do multiple processes without the need to have multiple monitors.

Arrived in full working order. No dead pixels or bleeding. Looks awesome.

This is one heck of a monitor and I am so glad I pulled the trigger on getting it. I previously had a 2k MSI monitor that was a VA panel, but this ultra-wide is just SO much better than what I had before. If you are looking for a wonderful gaming monitor with deep blacks and good contrast/colors, get this monitor. You will not regret it!

I transitioned from 3 21.7 in monitors to a single curved monitor and while I lost screen space the overall efficiency of the space used by the single monitor overwhelmingly makes watching/gaming/work easier.

Works great! Curve is dope

Ive been running this monitor for a few months and its been great. I think youll be pressed to find a better 144hz, 1440p 34in curved monitor around the 400 price range. One problem that Ive had with this display is ghosting. This only happens when you have pure white on black, so its not a common occurrence. It may occur in windows settings if you have dark mode and you move your cursor around, or if you have white text on a black background and start scrolling. The other problem is that the stand is absolutely horrid; its a large tripod like a foot deep. Its not a problem if you dont want to place anything under it I suppose, but I want to fit my DAC/AMP underneath it so I will be swapping it out. Other than that, its a great performing and looking monitor.

This monitor exceeded my expectations. Easy to set up and get into use. Ive never owned nor have seen an UW monitor in the past, as well as experienced 144hz refresh rate. I was skeptical about the aspect ratio due to my Twitch streams and YouTube videos but there are work arounds for anything now a days! IF you have a PC that can run games in 3440x1440 with a higher framerate Id highly recommend checking this out. Even if not, at least being able to handle the resolution is a bonus as games look BEAUTIFUL. Color accuracy/brightness is a big thing for me and this monitor delivers, whether SDR or HDR. Customization is easy in this field as you can do it through the monitor OR theres software available for a seamless set-up. The price cannot be beaten for the product thats delivered, as a first time customer with MSI theyve left a great impression. Ive literally found 0 weaknesses in this monitor so far and all its strengths are as listed. Upgrading from a 24 1920x1080 monitor to this was the best decision Ive made recently in terms of gaming.

Working on this monitor is fantastic. My software and game engine layout fit all on one screen. Huge development excels fit all in a single view. Honestly, the monitor has saved me a lot of hassle juggling my work setup. Nice and affordable, you will have an immersive overall experience with any content you play on this. I will warn you when watching movies you will have to adjust the resolution get the picture
