I purchased this monitor based upon the MSI reputation. After using it I was disappointed in the quality of the image for reading text. I attempted all adjustments to no avail. I returned it.

This monitor is nice but I had to return my due to it having a dead pixel. I would go with LG or Samsung, they have much better quality control.

Monitor flickering

When the monitor came in it worked really well. After a week of using it, I could no longer use 144hz. When the monitor is on 144hz the screen flickers and I am unable to use the monitor, after turning the refresh rate to 120hz it works fine. However, I wish it would work at 144hz.

Great monitor for the price, especially for a beginner. Easy to set up due to the easy-to-follow instructions. My only complaint would be the fact that it didn't say that the little red button thing is the way to control and edit the monitor's settings. Outside from that, the picture quality is good

Good monitor at such a good price
but why does the monitor come without a dp port?
As an nvidia user, I can't enable the Gsync option without the dp port so the freesync option is useless until i buy new dp cable i think
if u are graphic designer or artist and gamer playing Esports games like me yes definitely i recommend this product

Buyer Beware

Theres nothing wrong with the monitor, but theres also nothing special. It's really too big for 1080p gaming and watching cinematics it really shows.
I've Had to return this monitor after only 6 months of use, it starting have picture issues at high framerates. It cost me over 100 dollars to ship it back and two weeks later I got a refurbished one.
After all that and dealing with their customer support, I won't be giving them another dollar for overpriced parts and cheap monitors

Good performance, not the best stand.

The 144 hz is nice. The stand has no padding so it wil scrape your table though. also you can't adjust it to go up. You can change the viewing angles by changing the angles but you cant face it sideways. The color is a little weird imo maybe its just because im used to the my old moniters colors but this one seems a bit darker to me. The 144 hz is nice however. Besides the stand issues and such, the only downside is the colors which wouldn't really bother you while gaming and the contrast and rgb can be adjusted. The stand is pretty high quality metal as long as the frame. The frame also has a small border which I like. I think mounting it would make it a lot better so you wouldn't have to deal with the stand. Also maybe you could add your own home-made padding under it to avoid scratches. If this is your first moniter I would recommend it as a budget moniter it is pretty nice.
