Good monitor, incompatible cable made it useless

I like the monitor a lot, it looks great and overall I've had a good experience with it. Unfortunately, the power adapter that was provided new in the box was not compatible with the outlet cable. See the picture for clarification. This seems like a really large oversight to me and it does not give me much faith in the monitor overall. Luckily I had a compatible outlet cable from a different charger or I would be without a monitor for however long it took MSI to make this right

bought this a couple days ago and it is not LED its LCD. So if your are looking for an LED this is not the way to go at all. It even says on the manual that is LCD... Also for some reason, I have 165 just chilling on the top left of my screen, I asked support, they told me to reset, and it still won't go away! Returning it!

Longevity

The longevity of this monitor has blown me away. 4 years and still kicking. Only original accessory that didnt need to be fixed or replaced (with a teenage user). Not to mention the design has lasted too, still looks modern in 2024.

Cool Curve but not for gaming

Bought this to go with my HP Omen CPU, it’s a beautiful screen but for gaming I probably should have bought a gaming screen as I can tell the difference compared with my girlfriends HP Omen gaming monitor. But for the quality and functionality of the screen it’s great for everything else! A good screen with a cool curve!

I've owned this specific monitor for a couple of years. It's a good monitor for its value and serves its purpose. I bought it when I purchased the series x and have never had an issue with it. 165 hz is more than I will ever need, and has an anti-glare screen so if your setup is directly across from a window you don't need to worry about any glares. So if you are looking for a nice monitor for the new Xbox series s/x, this is a fantastic monitor.

not the greatest monitor in the world but, for the money, it’s prolly one of the best 165hz monitors u can get w a 1ms response time. has hdmi and displayport you’ll only get 165hz out of the displayport and not hdmi. i have 2 monitors and use this one for gaming and the other for everything else . only thing that kinda disappointed me is how much of a pain it is to plug in the displayport cords etc because the plugs are facing the ground in the back so you have to turn the monitor over if u wanna be able to see what you’re doing.

this monitor is amazing for the price! 27 inches, 165hz, and the colors are deep and vibrant. the blacks are so deep on this monitor, you would think it's an OLED screen! I highly recommend everyone to get this monitor, but try to wait for a sale price instead of paying the MSRP

This monitor is great! Definitely serving it’s purpose and is definitely a bang for your buck. I put a gaming desk/space together for my son and he loved it. One thing I researched the most was buying the right monitor and this was one that major gamers and tech guys recommended.

Not a bad monitor

Not a bad monitor for the price. Images look great as my secondary monitor, I didn't need anything overkill as far as refresh or high res. This fit my needs perfectly. The only thing I can say that would need to be improved is the stand that comes with it. It is not height adjustable. I ended up mounting it on an elevated arm for my setup so it wasn't a problem for me,but for others it may be asitsits pretty low to the desk which can cause eye and neck strain.
