    Excellent QDOLED monitor so far

    Have purchased several monitors, both IPS and VA, trying to find one that I was happy with (AW3821DW, LG45GR75DC, etc.) Specifically was looking for a monitor that could be used for work, gaming, media. Originally was not considering OLEDs as the text was too blurry. However, this MSI monitor checks every box! Large, high resolution, and clear OLED screen does not have the blurry text issues I was having with other OLEDs (42" and 48" LG C3). The built in KVM is also great, although the auto-switch functionality is a little aggressive when working with multiple inputs. All-in-all, this monitor is nearly perfect. Would be great to have higher refresh rates, USB 3.0 instead of 2.0, and higher brightness levels, but that will probably come down the line with new panels. For now, this is the best 49" OLED on the market.

    This is an awesome monitor. However, I primarily use this monitor for productivity (not gaming). Therefore, I was hesitant when I read OLED panels suffer from text fringing (color bleeding around text edges) due to their unique subpixel layouts, which differ from the standard RGB stripe found in LCDs. After reading extensive reviews of all OLED brands/models, this one seemed to be the best in that regard. Perhaps this issue is simply overstated generally. I'm not sure, but no issues for me. Love this thing.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
