27" monitor size for a curved monitor just hits the sweet spot for me. 1080p resolution looks great on this, I set it to a warm color profile and it's very pleasant to look at during night or day. It's a better fit for gaming than anything else, but that's not to say that it's not well rounded and enjoyable for productivity and movie watching. I regret not having the budget to buy two of them. The only downside I have is that it doesn't come with a displayport cable which you need for 165hz refresh rate. The HDMI cable provided limits you to just 144hz; but that refresh rate is a great setting for any type of gaming. Before settling to this monitor, I purchased a 32" 4k monitor with the intention of upgrading my GPU to one of the newer graphic cards that are capable of pushing 4k. But it only had a refresh rate of 60hz. I thought it would be a good trade off to give up a high refresh rate in exchange of monitor size and higher resolution. But as soon as I fired up my pc games, they became borderline unplayable because of the lower refresh rate that I was accustomed of. This monitor was about $100 cheaper on sale, and runs my games really well, which I found out is a higher priority for me than having better resolution for movies and YouTube, Bottom line: if you happen to be in the same dilemma as me, and you're a gamer looking for a monitor in the $200-$300 price point, this is a solid pickup if you like the luxury of a curved screen and a high refresh rate. Yes, for a little more money, there are monitors that are on sale right now that offer better resolution and bigger screen size. But for my needs, I love this monitor and what it gives me.

Excellent screen! Perfect colors and size for a gamer!

What can I say? The beautiful curved screen, the 27 inch screen, the 120FPS amazing graphics. This monitor is truly worth every penny! I mean it I used to play on a 50 inch TV and once I switched to the MSI monitor my gaming has improved and gotten way better at every game I play, the movements when I play are so smooth and I would not change it for any other monitor. I truly recommend this monitor it’s the perfect size and quality to enhance your gaming! You will not regret it I promise.

I upgraded from an Asus 24 inch Monitor to tis curved Monitor and it's honestly been a big improvement in color and viewability. I really like this screen and can safely add MSI to a Brand I can trust when purchasing Monitors in the future. For the size and price it's pretty budget friendly compared to others with the same specs for what seems like higher quality! I added a picture of the Asus and the MSI side by side.

I use this to game paired with my ps5 and I love it, looks clean and runs smooth, plus the curved monitor actually makes a difference in my games. 10/10 would recommend
