Amazing Monitor
By Joseph D. Land on Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2020
A little back story. I am new to PC gaming and the improvement that was most important to me was frame rate. My current monitor is only gets 60 hertz so I bought a high refresh rate monitor. Within 10 seconds of using that monitor I was instantly turned off for the very poor colors. I realized color was more important than frame rate to me. Then I learned that my old monitor was an IPS (which gives better color) and I had ordered a TN monitor, which has worse colors than an IPS. This monitor was the perfect fit for me. 1080p at 24 inches which is the sweet spot to resolution and screen size and it is an IPS with G-SYCH technology. When I turned on this MSI monitor, I instantly loved the colors. I believe it is 99% SRGB. The colors aren't quite as natural as my old ASUS Pro Art IPS, but they are very very good and a calibration may make it even better. Everything else about the monitor is great, it has a sturdy square base, a lot of ability to customize and the frame rates are buttery smooth. I would say this is absolutely a 5 star monitor for this resolution, color, size and price. Truly amazing. Here is the deal, I might end up sending it back for a larger monitor with more resolution and less hertz. I notice a difference in playing between 60 and 120 FPS but it is not ground breaking and I might honestly opt for a higher resolution monitor and compromise with between 90-120 hertz. This is a personal preference for me and something you might want to consider because I was prepared to be blown away by gaming at 140+ hertz and I wasn't. Sure... it is nice and smoother, but I think I would rather compromise a larger screen with higher resolution and keep my FPS at around 90. Just to reiterate, 24inches is a great size to game on, I would just rather go a little larger Still, this is an absolutely stellar monitor and I would recommend you buy it

Good on paper, awful paper

After two weeks it has developed a stuck pixel in the bottom left corner that will not go away. It's only noticeable on bright colors, but that's exactly the problem. It's annoying and I doubt I'll be buying another MSI monitor again. Original Review: Mind my cable management. Additionally, the glare on the left side of the monitor in my included picture is from a bright window. Backlight bleed is minimal on my panel. I don't particularly think it's worth the $350 price tag, but to get a 240hz IPS panel? You gotta do what you gotta do. This monitor is visually stunning in every area. The chassis is leagues ahead of anything I've owned before. It's a hard, matte plastic material that looks almost like brushed metal. The panel is also top notch. Response times are good with minimal, if ANY, ghosting and the colors are great. Not to mention that sweet, sweet 240hz refresh rate feels so gosh darn smooth. Trust me, it's worth the upgrade even from 144hz. The only "downside" of this monitor is its 1920x1080 resolution. At 24.5", it's perfectly fine. I sit a good distance away from my screen and I can only notice pixels/staircasing in games if I make an effort to look for them. It's also fine for desktop use, but if you're really worried about seeing pixels then maybe look elsewhere if Pixels Per Inch (PPI) is a main concern. The chassis is also pretty thick, but you won't be seeing that head-on. Overall, great monitor from MSI. Would recommend.
