Description

High-performance gaming monitor

The MSI gaming monitor is aimed at those seeking a quality monitor with QHD resolution and a high refresh rate. It features a 1500R curvature and a spacious 178-degree viewing angle, while AMD FreeSync Premium technology helps avoid tearing and stuttering, making it ideal for demanding games.

Curvature 1500R

The Optix monitor uses a 1500R curvature rate, making it more comfortable and suitable for a wide range of applications, from work to gaming. The curved panels also help enhance the gaming experience, making you feel more connected.

Refresh Rate 165Hz

Response time 1ms MPRT

Optix monitors are equipped with a 165Hz refresh rate and VA panel with 1ms MPRT response time, offering advantages in fast-moving game genres such as first-person shooters, fighting, racing sims, real-time strategy, and sports.

These types of games require very quick and precise movements, which an extremely high refresh rate and response time will give you an edge over your competition.

AMD FreeSync Premium

Gaming should not be a choice between choppy gameplay or broken frames. Get smooth performance at nearly any frame rate with AMD FreeSync Premium technology.

By dynamically synchronizing the screen's refresh rate with the image's frame rate, AMD FreeSync minimizes tearing, ensuring seamless and smooth gameplay.

Edge to Edge

With an ultra-narrow bezel, enjoy the best possible experience in the latest games with a 180-degree multi-monitor setup.

Anti-Flicker Technology

Common monitors usually have flickering about 200 times per second, which is not noticeable to the naked eye, but can cause fatigue over time. MSI Anti-Flicker technology provides a very comfortable viewing experience by reducing flickering.

178-degree wide viewing angle

Colors and details will remain sharp at more angles compared to other monitors with smaller viewing angles.

Blue Light Reduction

Optix monitors are optimized to produce less blue light emitted from the screen, so you can play for longer periods without eye fatigue.

I have it for fps gaming (EFT)
Yes it is a VA panel and has shadowing, but with the right settings almost* there is no shadowing, and I come from an IPS panel. (*I notice it only when I am in places with low lighting in-game, in bright areas there is nothing)
All other colors, menus, angles etc. are OK
In mine, it only has a small spot with Light bleed which is expected good or bad on the one hand but goes unnoticed, so no complaints but unfortunately this is luck.
For a 32-inch curved gaming at 270 I am satisfied

I bought this monitor happy and excited to upgrade after using a 24 inch for so much time. The reviews below are all a scam, dont buy. I absolutely do not recommend this monitor, especially if you want to use it for gaming, its an extremely slow va panel making you motion sick with every turn. Ive had it for an hour now and im already completely dissatisfied and im trying to return it. Listen to this and dont buy this, seems good looks good it actually isnt, buy a 27 inch that will leave you satisfied

I bought it for 265 euros in a crazy deal and now it says it's worth 400+. Technically, it is as described in the description. And while generally anything with "Gaming" in the description is bad, see Razer products, this monitor is sturdy, high-quality, I compare it to an Odyssey and it is quite slimmer and more elegant.

I would say it's a good value for money at the price I bought it, 300 euros. It's heavy-duty for VESA mounts, so if you want to put it on an arm, invest in something good and high-quality, making sure it can support at least 1-2kg more than the specified weight of the monitor.

It is simply perfect, easy to set up, large, and convenient. I don't understand why the 27-inch one is more expensive than this one for over a month
