    Purchased for gaming computer. at first all is fine, but then within weeks of using it when playing online games the screen goes black periodically, all the time. I emailed best buy and never got a response. now I guess im stuck with it and no help or resolution, I trouble shooted all online suggestions, the cables are good and connections are secure yet the play is constantly interrupted with the screen going blank so its complete garbage and new I have to buy a new one, maybe ill have better luck on amazon. I have had for a few months now and cant stand the black outs anymore.

    Screen flickers on my AMD skytech PC. Have used this as my secondary monitor since I got it. Not sure if it's my PC acting up, but it has no issues with other monitors. Tried many troubleshooting tips

    It said that it was 144hz but it actually only goes up to 120hz. If you overclock the monitor it’ll go up to 135hz. But it’s pretty decent for the price.

    Great product if you want curved. I sold it eventually but due to “upgrades” but this product is great for the price.

    When it works, it's great. The inconsistency of this monitor is why I give it one star. Seems like every month I spend hours dealing with the 'no signal' issue or half the screen goes red/green/blue. I would absolutely pick a monitor that's not as good over this one strictly to not waste my time when it goes to 'no signal' or another stupid issue all of a sudden.

    Save your money. I have had this monitor for less than a year and it has had problems since day one. The screen had problems turning in and reading that it was plugged. I moved it a few times and the same power issue would occur each time. The last time I moved it the screen would not turn in anymore. I do not recommend this monitor.

    Surprisingly simple setup

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    To clarify, I'm not a particularly experienced person when it comes to monitors. I've never purchased something like this, and I wasn't quite sure what to expect. The box was well packaged, and the instructions for setup were printed on the box, on a card taped to the packing material, AND in the quick start guide. Setup was extremely simple and exactly followed the instructions, no surprises to be found. For anyone purchasing this monitor, make sure you go into the windows display settings. My Radeon Settings wouldn't detect the monitor at 144hz until I explicitly told windows that the monitor could handle it. Also, AMD Freesync is enabled/disabled from the monitor settings, so hopefully that will save you a minute or two of confusion. I wasn't sure I would like a curved monitor, but after using it for barely half an hour I don't even notice. This is a great monitor, the stand is serviceable and does everything a stand should, and the picture is perfectly crisp.

    Set this monitor up as a secondary monitor and it just keeps flashing. Called support and they said to try different HDMI cables and that it “should just work.” I’m running a 1660 Ti which should have no problem with 2 monitors. Unfortunately going to have to return this.

    Great budget option

    I bought this because I have been eyeing a 144Hz monitor but they all seem to be beyond an affordable price. Luckily, they have been going down as of recent, and this model from MSI caught my eye. I checked out other user reviews and it was highly recommended from a wide audience for a 144 hz, low response time monitor. After owning this for over a month, I can't say anything but positive things. It is very light yet durable; the manufacturing seems high quality. The color range is great. I have been able to watch videos and movies without the blurred effect. Gaming has been taken to a different level. The various settings to swap between different modes are great. Ultimately, I do not regret my decision in purchasing the MSI Optix MAG240VC monitor and would wholeheartedly recommend to everyone I know that is in the market for one.

    Overall the look and size of the monitor pleased and surprised me but once i hooked it up to my Desktop it would never receive signal from it. I tried swapping out the HDMI cables, and a few other items but nothing worked.
