Pros

This is the only monitor in town that is an ultrawide 30inches, ips and 200hz. It's the only 29/30 (2560x1080) ultrawide monitor to have an ips panel with gsync and 200hz. This is 100% the best ultra wide monitor you can buy for the price. Does have a... Read More

Colors are vibrant and the brightness is more than enough. The screen lighting uniformity is also perfect.

It has fantastic visual quality and works well for anyone who wants an immersive gaming experience. What an amazing company for gamers.

The msi monitor comes with several types of connectors, i am using the mdmi 1, it has no vga which i was using on the previous monitor. It out competes almost every monitor in its price range. It is affordable with that specs.

Screen is good, no major ghosting or overshoot to speak of. The 200hz is really nice and feels buttery smooth and no ghosting at all.

Quality

It has fantastic visual quality and works well for anyone who wants an immersive gaming experience.

Easy installation, good quality, i had a lg monitor with 60 hz refresh rate now i can really feel the difference.

Edit: automatic aspect ratio is broken, so on games that don't scale to 16:9 even with gpu scaling enabled require you to go into the osd.

Price

And all of that at a pretty reasonable price too.

Being 4k with an adjustable stand at a bargain price .

I can't believe this thing is under $300.

If you want a faster refresh rate, you're immediately over $200.

Shipping

Monitor arrived ahead of schedule and seller ships to hawaii.

Packaging/appearance

Came together as the last (for now) crown jewel.

Unboxing and set up was a breeze, immediately set the refresh rate to max and played a few games and was impressed at how smooth it was.

Out of the box it might be crushing blacks which is odd for an ips, is probably fixable with some tweaking.

Competitiveness

This monitor is one of the cheaper ultrawides i could find from a larger brand like msi that also featured a high refresh rate screen.

It is an esports monitor so having 200hz while in valorant, rocket league, and apex is awesome.

You could find a worse chinese brand and save $10.

Actually just checked to see if i can get another to replace my 301cr, but it seems msi already stopped making these.
