I was nervous getting this online since I was not able to see how it functions before i ordered it, bur it was a great decision! I use this for gaming and it was veen wonderful, good display, crystal clesr imsge. I havent had issues with dead pixels or cheap materials. The stand is higg wuality but if yoy plan to mount it make sure it can support the weight. I have a high quality mount i used for my old 27" curved monitor, it was overkill for that monitor but still wasnt enough to hold this one. I would and have recommended this to others, id argue this is more worth your time and money than the odyssey series.

The Mag401qr is a very affordable monitor for those who want a large monitor but dont want to spend almost $1,000 for one. This monitor has a 40" 2k 155hz screen. Even has a Type C with 65w and you can even download the software to manage the settings without having to use the buttons on the back of the monitor.

I just want to first say that the image quality is very nice and as a monitor, it works well. However, the KVM function is flaky (limited USB), there is only ONE DisplayPort input, and I just confirmed with MSI support that it is not possible to change inputs if the monitor is in standby. Why might that be an issue? Consider this situation: I have my desktop PC connected via DisplayPort (because I want the fastest refresh rate for gaming). I turn that off and the monitor goes into standby. I later decide to plug in my work laptop (fresh Windows install, latest display drivers) into HDMI 1. If the monitor's Auto Scan setting on the source is set to "off", the ONLY ways to wake up the monitor to switch it to HDMI 1 are to either send a signal over DisplayPort (e.g. turn my desktop on) or unplug the power, plug it back in, and quickly open the OSD menu before the monitor goes back into standby. I have never used a monitor that you couldn't manually wake up and change the input. For size reference, the photo is with two 24" 1080p monitors.

This monitor is absolutely beautiful and a steal for the price. At first I was very hesitant to buy it because it was a 40 inch monitor and I thought it’d be massive but after 2 to 3 days of using it, I quickly realized that this was the best purchase I’ve made when it came to a monitor the quality of the picture gaming or just using it for every day use is phenomenal and I could not be happier.
