    Love this monitor. The picture quality is awesome. The refresh rate is superb. I wear glasses and work requires long staring at the monitor. I like the reader / eye sight saver feature. It reduces blue light on the monitor. I am not a gamer but have used MSI hardware before. They did a good job with this monitor.

    I got these on sale (bought 2). At the sale price, they were an excellent buy. I needed a service desk monitor with moderate gaming capabilities as most of the PC's I work on are gaming rigs. My wife needed a second monitor for her work from home setup. These were perfect for both of our needs.

    I would rate this monitor five stars but because of a series of confusing issues I put it at 4 stars instead. Let me explain. My desktop PC has a DVI input connection (and 1 HDMI input connection). The MSI Optix monitor has a DisplayPort input connection (as well as 2 HDMI input connections). I love the fact that I can get a 144Hz refresh rate with the HDMI cable wire, but I want to take advantage of G-Sync. I can't seem to buy a monitor cable that is DVI to DisplayPort. I want to enable G-Sync but I can't without the correct monitor cable. Best Buy doesn't have the type of cable, another electronics store didn't supply the right type of cable. Can I buy this type of cable? I'm not sure.

    Works Well, never disappoints. Night Mode looks great. Love the size and monitor tilt. Only thing I could complain about is the stand but that is an easy fix. Perfect, great response time and video. Amazing purchase.

    I'm new to the gaming and gaming computer world (and an old guy!). I was looking for a cheaper monitor as I don't see any need for something with the highest specs. Unfortunately, the local Best Buy was sold out of the Samsung I was looking at. Luckily, I had 3 employees conversing with me and educating me on why this monitor would be better. It was higher-priced...but I decided to go with it anyway. WOW!!!! This monitor is extremely clear and you can see all the details. Yes, I'm sure there are much better monitors but for this price point you can't go wrong. (Remember, I'm an old guy still happy with his 32" TV!) Would definitely recommend this product. Sturdy, clean and more than enough for me!

    I use this monitor when editing videos, and I've been very pleased with it. It's big enough so I can see what I'm doing but not so big that it doesn't fit easily on a desk.

    I recently had a monitor burn out, so I went down the monitor research wormhole trying to decide between a curved MSI VA panel or this flat IPS. Well the VA sold out, so my choice was made for me. The IPS panel "glow" I had read about is so minor it's a non issue for me. Viewing angles are really good as well. Zero dead pixels! The joystick style menu control is super convenient and quick. Out of the box the preset color profiles seem to be set up perfectly for my needs. I do a lot of Photoshop work as well as casual gaming and this monitor seems to excel at both with accurate colors. Going from 60hz to 144hz is a real treat as well. The monitor comes with an HDMI cable that supports 144hz. However, I have been unable to enable G-SYNC on my 1070 GTX. If I understand correctly it's due to not having it hooked up via a DP cable. I've ordered on so hopefully that will allow me to use the FreeSync feature. I was a bit unsure about this monitor due to the lack of reviews since it's a new release, but so far it's been a really great buy and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a monitor in this price range. Kudos to Best Buy for getting it to me a week earlier than they estimated as well.

    The list of 144hz IPS monitors with Freesync at this price point is pretty slim at the time of this review. Of the few available, this monitor (and its 24" sibling) are by far the best options. The panel looks fantastic, it's built well, and the OSD and software both work well and include some nice features. Embedded speakers and/or USB ports and a height- adjustable stand would have been a nice addition, but given the price point, I can't fault MSI for not including those. It does include a 3.5mm audio output and is VESA-compatible.

    This monitor is so huge, I honestly didn’t read the size before I got it but I definitely love the monitor. It’s 100% worth the price, but if you want to add two or three monitors, I’d look for a smaller one for that and get this one as your main. The screen is almost edgeless, and setting it up is super easy and basic. MSI is one of my favorite brands for monitors. This one isn’t curved, but doesn’t matter at all. You’ll have to screw in a few pieces, but overall the best quality monitor for any purpose and the price is worth it.
