MSI - Optix MAG240VC 23.6" LED Curved FHD FreeSync Monitor - Black

I always feel like shopping for a gaming monitor is a chore, finding a monitor with good legit reviews is very difficult. A lot of reviews youll see list dead pixels or broken parts and that makes me wary as a buyer. I came across this monitor and it hit all the marks for me. Its 144hz (youll need a display port cable which is not included in the box to achieve 144hz), its curved which is really good for immersion and its got a great stand. My monitor took 15 minutes or less to assemble and worked easily and quickly right from the get go. The power and settings menu are very easy to operate. I give this monitor a big thumbs up and would highly recommend it!!

I would give it 4.5 stars. A little knock for small text being a little hard to read, but that’s typical for a VA panel. Great buy if you can find it on sale for $169 or around there. The curve is super mild, nothing crazy. I have two of these for work, and the 140hz is great for gaming, along with the freesync. Also love that it has multiple inputs. Display port for the computer and HDMI for a console. Also, user interface is Excellent!! One of the better ones out there. It has a small joystick-like selectee on the back bottom right corner. Only complaint would be that the joystick is a little to high up, slightly hard to reach... but that’s minor. Excellent stand too. Easy touch up and down, tilt, and rotation. If your on the fence, just do it.

This panel, the overall screen, and its performance come from Samsung. Samsung made a line of Quantum Dot monitors and this panel is from that line minus the Quantum Dots. It has vibrant colors and a solid performance. I personally bought 3 while it was on sale for 169$. I have tested all the gaming panels up to the 1000$ Dell 120hz ultrawide and those monitors never made me feel like they were worth the money. They all had perks and solid performance but why spend so much more for a similar performance. 3 monitors no issues. Would highly recommend. To get the best coloration like all monitors you will need to play with the OSD. After tweaking them this has become my favorite setup and will remain it until 4k 120hz is more viable in 2020/2021

I purchased my MSI monitor about a week ago, and I can already tell the difference in my computer’s performance. For starters, as someone who is upgrading from a 15” laptop, the curved 23.6” size does the job perfectly for me. I can have multiple programs open at a time and spread them across the screen without straining my eyes. The VA panel makes the picture very clear and the colors extremely vivid. The monitor itself looks extremely clean, especially with the edge-to-edge frameless display. As for my gaming experience, the 1-ms response time and 144 Hz refresh rate are seriously unbeatable for the price. I’m able to play high-FPS games with zero problems whatsoever. This monitor is legitimately a steal when you take price into account. I am always wary of things that sound too good to be true, but this is the real deal. 23.6”, curved display, 144 Hz and 1ms response for $200 – it doesn’t get much better than that. I would definitely recommend this monitor to anyone who needs a quality monitor for a low price.

My main monitor, this is the best 144Hz monitor I've tried. Image looks good, so smooth, and it is CURVED! In the picture, it is the one on the right!

best monitor i have ever owned has a beautiful picture and quality can keep up with every game i throw at it with the adjustable base i can turn it bring it up or down and adjust it as i please the curve on the screen really puts you into the game un like most monitors i have used in the past i would defiantly buy it again

This is my first and only gaming monitor and I must say the specs and the performance is top notch, for a monitor that’s only 200 bucks it is worth every penny. The curved monitor just makes it look sleek and slim, this monitor has 144HZ and 1ms response time, adjustable stand and a lot of other fun features. I highly recommend this monitor to anyone just getting into gaming monitors!!

Pictures don’t do any justice to this moniter it looks VERY clean!! Deep blacks!! Mine had no dead pixels thank god as I was scared because of other people’s unfortunately bad experiences. It’s very big and even too big for me to put my face up too way bigger than I thought but still better for gaming and way more immersive in my opinion. Definitely recommend to anyone!!!!!
