This monitor is amazing so far. It’s a very vibrant panel, admittedly sometimes a little too vibrant. I’ve messed with the colors a bit in the MSI Display application and the monitors own menu and managed to bring that down a little bit, but it’s still seems pretty saturated. For me, that’s not really an issue. My old monitor (a $70 Walmart brand monitor) was very washed out and bland so I was specifically looking for something with better color display, and I’ve found it with this monitor.If you’re looking for a vibrant display with colors that really pop, then this might be for you. If you’re looking for a more standard/average color display, then you might want to try something else.The build quality feels high quality for something at this price range, which was a very nice surprise. The stand is nice and sturdy, the monitor itself is very sleek and well designed, and the materials don’t feel cheap, in my opinion.Honestly, this monitor looks and feels very premium.The factory settings were, as previously stated, very bright and vibrant. Other than that, they were right on the money. You shouldn’t need to mess with them very much to get your desired results.*SOMETHING TO NOTE* Some reviews have stated that they can’t switch to 144hz. You need a Display Port cable or an HDMI 2.0 cable, and their MSI Display Kit program to manually switch the refresh rate to 144. You might be able to use the nvidia control panel for that, but I’m not 100% sure, though you should get the MSI Display Kit application anyway, because it offers many settings and options for the monitor, including a full color calibration menu, something the monitor menu doesn’t have.*ANOTHER NOTE* This monitor does NOT come with a display port cable, you’ll have to buy one if you don’t already own one. It DOES come with an HDMI cable.I can honestly say that I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase. A monitor of this quality, with everything that it’s sporting, for this price? This is the deal I was looking for.

For all of you gamers out there who want to get a bit more serious gaming and get a monitor with a higher refresh rate, this is an excellent monitor. For the pricepoint on amazon, it has everything I wanted and probably everything you would want.It was relatively easy to use and set up (although there was a bit of an issue with the DP Port at first, it was easily fixed by power cycling the monitor) and it works with G-SYNC or FreeSync.In the games I've played I have seen no screen tearing and it feels silky smooth. I ran all games on an RTX 2060 with games at 144/VSync or 120 FPS.If you're looking for a great monitor with a value pricepoint, this is it.

This monitor is great! 144hz runs smooth, IPS panel is easy on the eyes with good viewing angles and vibrant color. Joystick menu controller is simple and works very well to control menu. Side and top bezels are very small. Overall it's hard to beat if you're in the market for an under $200 gaming monitor.Some things to note:FreeSync isn't enabled by default - but it's easy to turn on and off under the gaming setting.FreeSync works with 10** series and up Nvidia GPUs. Plays nicely with my GTX 1070.

I purchased this for gaming on PC in my office. The most attractive feature is having 2 HDMI and 1 Display port connection. I have my Switch, PS3, and PC all connected to one screen and a 2nd monitor that's only connected to my PC. So when needed I can have 48" wide screen or if I want to watch videos and play games I can witch to the HDMI connections for my PS3 or Switch.I plan on adding a 3rd monitor to increase immersion within games like Elite Dangerous, Star Wars Squadrons, Mechwarrior 5, and even FPS games like Tom Clancy's The Division and the Borderlands Series.These monitors are hands down the most cost efficient full 1080p, 144hz monitors you will ever find.
