Good monitor and a nice review. I would like to see more attention on black levels, backlight bleeds and VA glow. In my opinion it is far more important and easily perceivable by the user, than extensive synthetic data on sRGB coverage.

I wish they'd do away with the HDR400 spec. It's so disingenuous & like you said most of the monitors that claim it only meet it under unrealistic circumstances. It's just another buzzword like how a few years ago "vr ready" was plastered everywhere.

I dont want to spend 1000 for any hdr 400 monitor but I also don't want to spend 2500 for a hdr 1000 monitor so I guess I just wait in a holding pattern and play more games on my hdr 1000 tv.

Hey TIM, good to see another video, always enjoy them! Just a question: Did you receive this monitor from MSI to review it? Or did you guys buy it as the rest of us would? Asking because MSI (at least in monitors and my experience) tend to have a very bad QA process and their monitors almost always present defects such as Dead Pixels and horrible DSE. Im positive that the samples they sent to reviewers like yourself are pre-check to match perfect looks that will NEVER match what the average consumer will end getting. Regards!

[@WhiteoutTech]

Jup I absolutly love my AW3418DW. LG and Acer do have similar speced monitors but the Dell monitor offers the best allaround package which you can get at the moment. The only things which I don't like about it are the ackward vesa mount, its crazy heavy weight and the ips limitations regarding blacklevels and blb. I will keep mine until there is a worthy microLED monitor with the same specs.

[@TIME_LORDS]

Great product review, but one thing you forgot to mention is it has no speakers built in. I love this monitor as I own one, but be prepared to upgrade your desk if you have a small one as it eats alot of space on the desk..

I just picked this thing up, and the review is accurate, but i just wanted to say one thing about the camera: It's true most people aren't likely to use the facial recognition feature at all, and I don't think all that many people care about a webcam either, BUT one VERY handy use case for this is IR head tracking. The camera picks up IR, which means with some open source software, you can use this as a receiver for an IR head tracking setup which is very useful for flight sims, especially with a large ultrawide like this.

I bought this one but honestly the panel is awful for simple web browsing, graytogray shift is very slow, the black text has rainbow halos and generally colors feel very shabby. For the price honestly there are too many downsides... Monitor experience is really personal and third party reviews are useful only up to a certein point. I'll try an ips next. I dont like much the ultra wide experience, I' m experiencing motion sickness. In games overall the experience is good, the refresh rate makes the difference. edit: I realized that the issue was the DP port, using Hdmi cable I have no issue... But only 100hz refresh rate. I'll give it back

[@chinmayudar4061]

Great review! At this point, it seems everyone who's building their PC is eyeing for the 1440p/144fps sweet spot and this monitor seems to be a good contender. Although, most of the people who choose to play competitively would probably lean towards the traditional 16:9 aspect ratio offerings. On that note, I would like to make a related video suggestion, sorry for being off-topic. Perhaps you could benchmark all the moderately taxing and popular esports/multiplayer titles like Battlefield V, Rainbow Six Siege, Fortnite, Apex Legends, PUBG, Overwatch, etc. with GPUs on the market currently at Ultra/Competitive(e.g. No shadows/AO) settings at 1440p. I think that could help people a lot while deciding specs.

va is completely garbage for fast paced gaming. i have tried 3 different ones now. too much smearing regardless of refresh rate. it's almost false marketing to call a va monitor for a gaming monitor. it can only be used for casual gaming, just like 60 hz panels. i would actually prefer a 60 hz ips or tn over a 144 hz va. they have less smearing and feel more responsive.

Hi, did you see the brightness and colour variations that occur when you are running at different refresh rates? Freesync/Gsync and highly variable refresh rates (especially at LFC doubling and tripling thresholds) causes a lot of flickering.

@@abdulrhmanmutiri1141 the best you'll get is to get the game running at a fixed fps, typically by lowering graphics settings and using a fps capper like riva tuner. Without frame rate changes there's going to be none of this flickering at difference frame rates, except where the game decides to force low frame rates on you anyway like with loading screens and menus sometimes. I found it was less awful on an IPS panel than it was on VA, so went for the Lg34gk950 instead.

341 is amazing Mileage Per Gallon! But CQR gas is somewhat rare in my area

[@DanielFrost79]

I couldnt even use the monitor for my current pc (16gb, 8700k, 1070ti). The monitor would eat my pc whole. 🖖👽 Edit: Just noticed a comment written 14 hours ago. I got a notification less than an hour ago... what the fuck KZbin....

[@jasoncoaker9459]

@Tim thanks for a great review.... In future monitor reviews would it be possible to include minimum brightness level. I recently had to return a Acer Nitro XV272UPb which was great for gaming but as I do a lot of spreadsheet work the lowest setting at around 80cd/m2 was just too bright especially in the evening. Also around 60cd/m2 is ideal to match what you see on the screen to what a photo looks like in print, so this made the Acer not idea for multi purpose work loads.

that led shitshow on the front just made me cancel my order. its bad enough that they all have them on the back but now they put it in your face.

[@salemgiath8150]

Can you please review the Samsung C24FG73 quantum dot 144hz monitor? I’m interested in a 144hz Monitor with good picture quality and decent response times and this one seems pretty good all around (based on specs) Would be nice if you reviewed it!

[@Dr.WhetFarts]

if you play fast paced games, stay away from va. regardless of refresh rate. trust me. returned 3 different va pc monitors wiht 144 hz. all have the same blur, smearing and latency issues.

[@Devilman666]

I've been waiting since msi announced it for a review. For HARDWARE UNBOXEDS REVIEW ♥️. Now that the LG 34gk950f isnt really available anymore this is literally the only other choice.

[@WhiteoutTech]

there is also the Dell AW3418DW which uses the same IPS panel from LG. However it is limited to 120hz. I would really like to compare it vs this MSI VA monitor as I absoluely love everything about my aw3418dw except the black levels.

Gotta turn off camera shake in Rocket League mate

[@HenryTownsmyth]

How come you never reviewed the Alienware? It's not even listed in your description.

[@korup7ion951]

i can't decide whether i want an ultrawide or just a larger 16:9 monitor

[@dennisole457]

I’ve been debating that for that past couple weeks as I’m coming from 1080p 60hz but 27 inches. I haven’t been able to talk my way out of UltraWide so now I’m struggling on deciding which one to go with for 1440p😅. Goodluck man 👍

[@itzpayday1238]

@@dennisole457 the alienware one is a good option

[@VenomStryker]

Why does everyone review the CQR and not the QR. I just got one of these and it's not the curved version but rather the flat ultrawide IPS version. Would like to see a video on that.

[@osamanaeem3932]

thanks for the review, I was about to buy this because of HDR but now I just removed it from my cart hehe

[@AspLode]

I don't see what's exciting about this monitor it's an old technology in VA, with nothing new other than extras stapled on to increase its apparent value without addressing the fundamental problems with the panel technology. I really wish more investment would be put into pushing forward new display paradigms like emissive pixel technologies like QDEL or whatever, rather than continuing to repackage and rebrand and remarket and resell obsolete backlit-LED crap.

[@giorgioisgaming5814]

just add the cost for a 2080TI to get 144FPS and high details at that resolution...

[@wunzeptepwun6175]

Compare that to Asus' PG35vq... which costs more than the MSI one (costs more than the ultrawide + whichever 2080 ti model you want)... and you might want another one for another 2080 Ti as well. I'd say compared to that, this is more affordable.

[@WhiteoutTech]

2070Super is perfectly fine for UWQHD with high settings.

[@vh9network]

a Radeon RX 5700 XT does it best.

[@martinskrumins1937]

wait for one year for 3000 series cards and u are good to go with xx60 also price for panels must be much cheaper couze ultrawides are so popular now. Or u can buy now all that stuff for 2k+ :)

[@giorgioisgaming5814]

LostContent Content no it can't! I own an Asus Strix 1080ti watercooled and an Asus PG348Q Ultrawide It is mostly in the 80 - 100 fps range even though i OCed it to 2,1 Ghzin AAA titles

[@victortong981210]

For a gaming monitor, do you think I should get this one or the AW3418DW?

[@scatterforce]

Personally, I would want to invest in a Freesync monitor.

[@michaellara9215]

Looking for a video on MSI Optix MPG341QR 34" since its an IPS compared to this one VA.
