I’ve been using this monitor for a bit now, and the performance is honestly super impressive. Whether I’m locked into a gaming session or just grinding through a workday, the refresh rate and ultrawide screen make everything feel incredibly smooth and spacious. It's one of those rare monitors that actually feels just as great for productivity as it does for gaming.
One small detail I really appreciate is that you can actually turn off the LEDs on the back. Sometimes you just want a clean, distraction-free setup without the extra glow, so having that control is a nice touch. Additionally, the monitor height is adjustable which helps with getting the perfect posture when working!
The only real downside is the stand. The legs stick out pretty far, and it definitely feels like it’s trying to take over my entire desk. If you have a smaller workspace, you’re going to notice how much room it hogs. Aside from the massive footprint though, it's a fantastic display that definitely feels like it gets better the more you use it.
Overall, I'd still definitely recommend the monitor considering it's a great value for the price!

I have been using mostly flat 27 inch monitors and i enjoy the benefits of them. However once i got this monitor it game changing. I play a lot of sim racing games like forza and some fps games like CoD and this was just insane. I feel like my PoV was a lot easier to see things on the side and felt like i was actually in the game. Would def recommend giving this a try if you like wide monitors and use it as your main hub. The monitor screen refresh rate and visuals seems brighter than what i had before.

Super Smooth, Super Fast
Imagine this: silky smooth graphics that keep up with your epic gaming skills. That's the MAG345CQR in a nutshell. The super-fast 180hz refresh rate means actions are blur-free and lightning quick, whether you're dodging bullets or speeding around a racetrack. Plus, the 1ms response time keeps things sharp, so you won't miss a single detail.
This monitor isn't messing around when it comes to size. The curved 34-inch screen stretches out before you, giving you a ton of extra screen real estate compared to those old-school monitors. It's like having two monitors in one, perfect for multitasking or getting totally sucked into the game world. Plus, the curve helps pull you right into the action, making those victories all the sweeter.
Bonus Level Features
This monitor comes loaded with features to keep you at the top of your game. There's fancy tech to eliminate screen tearing (trust us, that's a good thing) and special settings to help you see enemies lurking in the shadows. It's like having a built-in assistant for your gaming adventures.
The Final Verdict: Totally Worth It
Sure, some monitors might have slightly better colors, but for gamers who care most about buttery-smooth graphics and a super wide view, the MAG345CQR is a fantastic choice. It's got all the features you need to dominate the competition without breaking the bank. So, if you're a budget-minded gamer looking for a killer upgrade.

I wanted to upgrade a Samsung 1800R curved monitor and had a few different ones on my short list. I was apprehensive about going with not only an ultrawide monitor, but also a 1000R curved screen as i thought it would be primarily for gaming which i do very little of. However, i purchased this mknitor and I’m very pleased with it. Great screen image, multiple levels of settings, screen refresh rate is excellent, barely notice the 1000R curvature while using the monitor, and the extra width helps while multitasking with more than one open window. The only thing im slightly disappointed in is the HDR. Granted, it is HRD ready and not a HDR10, HDR400, etc., but when i enable HDR on the minitor, the picture quality seems to deminish with or without HDR set on or off in Windows. Maybe my opinion will differ if im doing some gaming, but for streaming content or general tasks on the computer, i do get better image quality leaving HDR off on the monitor and on Windows. Other than that, excellent purchase!

this monitor was a combination that my husband really like when we were searching to refresh our setup. He likes bigger monitors so he can play forza and other racing games which this fit pretty nicely to his demands. The Hz is also pretty good at 180Hz which most monitor are still stuck in the past. With the no bezel display he was able to have this as his main and use some other ones for his side view, the screen defintetly doesnt disappoint with wide QHD and the brightness is just perfect. Cant complain about the color of the screen and setup was easy enough!

I've been using two of this monitor for both gaming and work; I gonna say, if you want a 34 inch curved monitor this has to be one of the best choices. At $300 ultrawide , the refresh rate is pretty high, plus great resolution, high nits, and an amazing size!
Overall, this is one of the best monitors that I have had. No problem to recommended to others.

The MAG 345CQR is an excellent ultrawide monitor, perfect for both gaming and productivity. Its 34-inch curved display with WQHD resolution delivers sharp and immersive visuals. The 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time ensure smooth performance, while HDR support provides vibrant colors. Its ergonomic design and versatile connectivity options make it a great addition to any setup. Highly recommended for those seeking a top-quality ultrawide experience!

got fomo from comparing my setup to a friends. Wanted a curved ultrawide monitor and it makes such a difference. For a full immersive experience, i used a monitor arm and it looks super clean. 180hz refresh rate and adaptive sync is a plus with this monitor. I didnt realize but theres an RGB strip at the back that adds some ambient light onto my walls.

Finally upgraded my monitor from the old Asus. 34” is the perfect screen size for me. Overall the product is decent with a reasonable pricing, I would highly recommend if you’re browsing for a new monitor there.

I decided to go big on a monitor to avoid two separate screens as my desk is just small. This MSI MAG 345CQR did not disappoint as it's wide enough for me to have several windows open at once. Great for working on spreadsheets, email, and documents all at once in just one big picture. I have had no functional issues with this monitor, picture quality is so much better than the tv screens I had been using. I also don't have any issues with the viewing angles even when I stand off to the side, I can still see what's on the monitor just fine. Overall, I'm very happy with my decision to go ultrawide with this VA panel.

Not sure where the negativity is coming from since I found the manual online which makes it easier to ctrl + f specific issues too. Also some games just don't support 21:9.... Albeit I don't have an Xbox, but my PS5 works just fine. It's got a nice curve for the ultimate assimilation into sim games. Response time for racing isn't that important imo, but at 1ms it's as good as can be. The 180Hz refresh rate is nice as well when racing and playing flight sim, makes things look that much smoother. Highly recommended if you're looking for a ultrawide without breaking the bank.

one of the two monitors i got for my wfh setup that i occasionally game with.
quality is decent, wanted to try a curved monitor this time around since i’ve always had a flat monitor and it’s been great so far.
it’s great for having a lot of working space but also great when i want a more immersive gaming experience :D
no major complaints! it gets the job done and is a great ultra-wide monitor

Sucks that you cant turn off the RGB logo behind the monitor. My old 6 year old MSI monitor was able to. Besides that 1 complaint, the monitor does a well enough job displaying the image that is being sent. No dead pixels or anything out of the ordinary.
