QD OLED With a Three Year Warranty

QD-OLED, USB-C, HDMI 48gb, KVM, Anti-reflective Glass Screen, 3 year Warranty - Amazing deal.
I tried multiple monitors: Samsung Neo G9, Samsung G9 OLED and LG UltraGear 32GR93U-B. I was looking for the perfect size, resolution and form factor, 1 screen vs. 2, 1440p vs. 4k etc.
First, I had to return two Neo G9's due to some debrit behind the screens. Then I ordered the G9 OLED which I really liked the screen and size, but the screen had micro scratches after just one day and the lack of warranty made me return it. No one mentioned this in any reviews, but the G9 OLED comes with a small gel layer over the screen. It's very fragile too and you can make a permanent impression with a light touch of your fingernail!
I tried dual LG 32" 4k monitors and I was not a fan.
Along comes MSI and provides the same screen as the G9 OLED with a 3 year warranty parts/labor and burn! On top of the warranty, they have a normal anti-reflective coating that is WAY more durable.
This is easily the best value for a monitor this size that has the hardware to last a while.

Love the monitor

Amazing monitor for the price I got (950). Love the color quality. It's been roughly 6 months of use and no burn in yet. I've used it for work and playing games.
With oled burn in is always a concern but I'm pleasantly surprised not a sign of burn in with the way I've used this monitor so far (the auto burn in prevention features from msi have been turned on).
Works perfect to power my laptop using USB C power delivery. Ultrawide feels perfect for work. It's a shame many games don't work with super ultrwaide by default.
I've not watched any show or movie on it yet. I use my TV for that.
Where i think this monitor could have been better is by providing DP2.1 port and having refresh rate of 240 Hz instead of 144Hz. Maybe slightly better brightness and anti glare but that's asking for too much.
Very satisfied with what i got here. Only reason i might upgrade few years later is if these shortcomings i mentioned are resolved.

Overall great monitor that just works. I previously had another brands 49 oled monitor and had nothing but problem. So glad I decided to give MSI a chance as this monitor is awesome. Beautiful display, great blacks, no HDMI issues at all, great connectivity. My only complaints are the frequent pixel refresh screen poping up in the middle of gaiming, I wish it would just run when you turn off monitor. And that I am not able to power a micro computer through the 90w PD of the monitor. PD only works while there is a signal supplied to the monitor, which is a let down because it also makes the kvm switch not that great.

Decided to get a wide monitor with the new Mac mini rather than the 24" iMac. The 49" wide screen in massive but it's exactly what we wanted. I have a mini dock plugged into the second HDMI for easy connection.
Colors are bright and sharp. No distortions on such a wide screen. This screen is great.

I was lucky to get it on sale, the quality of the picture is great, and I don't use it for gaming but to display multiple windows for data analysis.

The monitor itself is great, superb quality and is great having a usbc input for a laptop, helping reduce the dongle clutter to none. I have had older MSI monitors in the past and they've survived well. Visual quality is gorgeous. Honestly when I first turned it on my eyes struggled to even focus on it, its brightness and colors were very different from my old panel. Worth it!
I use the monitor with the KVM feature to swap between personal and work. This generally works ok overall, but there are some quirks to be aware of.
- The OSD kvm option seems to only control the keyboard and mouse. As a result, I have it set to 'auto' instead and then swap the input, causing the keyboard and mouse to follow.
- The OSD input selection (which can be setup on the buttons direction) is a few presses. Press direction to enter menu, select input, press center to choose. This isn't bad, compared to some monitors.
- Using the keyboard shortcut requires software on the PC instead of keyboard intercept by the monitor itself. Windows has the gameintelligence app, which correctly works. However, if you have a mac, there is not any software released by MSI to provide the same option. Instead, you can look at some paid or opensource options that can send commands using DDC/CI (Display Data Channel / Command Interface) as this monitor can be controlled with them.
If there was one thing I could have, it would be an update that lets you make one of the directions act as a true kvm toggle. No selecting inputs, just go ahead and toggle back and forth.
Even with those quirks, I still enjoy the monitor and recommend it as an option to others and it has already had a positive mark on how I work.

Excellent monitor that works better instead two monitors. The image is amazing and for gaming is very good. The PIP with multiple inputs is a plus as I can do PIP to check my surveillance cameras while working or playing computer games. Note that it requires the USB connectivity to access all the monitor features

Beautiful display, spacious and surprisingly most games handle it just fine. Definitely could never go back to non-OLED displays.

This monitor is great for gaming and for productivity. It has very good color accuracy, high refresh rate and of course it is a super ultrawide. I wouldn't suggest a complete novice get this as a first monitor because some software and games require modification to work with 32:9 aspect ratio. However a intermediate or advanced user will have an excellent experience with this monitor.

This monitor is awesome! Having an ultrawide monitor for productivity has seriously been so nice. I feel like i get two or three monitors in one with this monitor. There were some things i had to figure out with this set up but right now its serving me great. It gets plenty bright for an OLED and i use it in a really bright room. Its excellent for gaming too!

My God, it's full of stars...this is the best monitor I have ever owned: bright, (almost too) vivid colors, and dark areas that look like vantablack. Good refresh rate (for my gaming habits, anyway) and text is very clear when I use this for my work stuff, too. Only weakness is the OLED care routine, which takes a while and can come up at inopportune times.

Most frustrating monitor I've ever owned

I wish I could send this back for a refund. The size, weight, and mounting capabilities are nice. For office work, any adjustments to sharpness or enhancements will degrade image quality of text exponentially.
BUT, this monitor has a pixel refresh feature that must run after a preset amount of operating time. IT WILL RUN AND INTERRUPT WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO RESCHEDULE. If you forget to manually power off the monitor each day to force the refresh to execute, it will pop up on your screen and execute while you're gaming/working/etc. No way to change this feature and you cannot cancel. It take ~7 minutes to run and it's completely ruined a virtual business meeting I was giving where I was the host and presenter.
