    Best monitor for competitive gaming/work

    I’ve tried different monitors from different brands, and when I saw this one, I decided to buy it. Since I spend more than 5 hours a day on the computer, I can say that by the end of the day my eyes no longer hurt and I don’t have tired vision. The blue light filter and the ability to adjust it make it much more comfortable—not just for work, but also for gaming, where you can really notice the difference in colors. Movies look cinema-quality. It’s very comfortable, it has everything you need, and most importantly, it has excellent light quality.

    Bought this monitor for my son to play PS5. He wanted to get higher fps and it delivered. Would recommend for the price and quality easy setup as well.

    1080p at 300hz is game changing for competitive games, I originally had a 1080p 144 and wasn’t sure I would feel the difference but I bought it anyway and I have no regrets. If you are on the fence, just go for it

    Wasn’t bad, but it’s hard to go back to 1080p after playing on 1440p for a while. Originally had purchased as a second monitor, but ended up returning for a 240hz QHD panel which ended up being my main. Very responsive but the visual quality lacked for me while playing FPS games. Side note: I noticed a dead pixel a few days after purchase, wasn’t easy to spot but definitely there.

    I got this monitor not expecting much for the price. But I'm in love with it so far. I been using it every day for hours. And I have had no issues it's super smooth and looks good. The brightness could use some work but that's the only flaw I've had with it for the price, response time and hz it's well worth it.

    It’s great, the refresh rate helps and everything is clearer. My aim while gaming is so much improved. Th only issue so far is it’s hard to see things on the edges where maybe a curved screen would have been better.

    My Excitement to Surprise My Son Turned Into Disap

    I ordered an MSI monitor from Best Buy on November 16 with a promised delivery date of November 26. This wasn’t just a regular purchase for me—I bought it as a surprise Thanksgiving gift for my son. I told him I had something special coming for him, and I was genuinely excited to see his reaction on Thanksgiving. I planned everything based on the delivery date Best Buy provided. But the monitor didn’t arrive on the expected date. It was delayed by two days, and the surprise I prepared with so much excitement and love was completely ruined. Seeing my son disappointed broke my heart. As a parent, giving your child a special moment means everything, and the delay took that moment away from us. I understand delays can happen, but when a delivery date is clearly stated, we place our trust in it—especially when it’s tied to a meaningful moment. The product itself is great, but the emotional impact was truly frustrating for me and my son. I hope Best Buy can understand how important this was and consider offering some compensation, privilege, or reward for the inconvenience. I’ve trusted Best Buy for years, and I hope this experience can still end positively.
