This monitor does what it is supposed to do. 144 hz is soo nice. Screen looks great, picture is crisp. It has all the right curves. I have already recommended it to a few friends. Now i am recommending it to you.

Got the 1440p 32 inch version (Optix AG32CQ) there inst much reviews on this one so I thought this would be helpful for anyone interested in the same version. The monitor is awesome so far. I love the size and the curve really gives you a nice feel. The colors are great, definitely better than my old TN panel and the response time is very fast which made it an easy choice to switch from the old TN to this new VA panel. I play shooters, RPGs, strategies, simulators, you name it and this thing is epic for all of them. I sit about an arm and half length away from this beast and everything is really immersive. I upgraded from a 27 inch 1440p TN panel Acer, I just felt everything was two small on the 27inch so this panel works great for me.

This gaming monitor is a great option for gamers who are looking for all-around performance. The 1440p 144hz screen is perfect when combined with a curve that is noticeable but not too ‘in your face’. The size is great because it is immersive while still being competitive, as I have never had to turn my head. The RGB lights on the bottom of the monitor are distracting and don’t have many game sync options, but can be easily turned off through the intuitive on-screen display. The backlighting looks great and provides a subtle glow even when not viewed head-on. If I had to critique the monitor on 1 thing, it would be lack of G-Sync, but it would be far more expensive and unnecessary. The colours are spot on and make gaming a blast, with crisp detail and an immersive feel, and all visuals will be very smooth. I definitely recommend this item.

I highly recommend this monitor. I Have been using a Dell 1920X1080 monitor for close to a decade. MSI makes great products period. This monitor is 2560x1440 144hz more options then you can imagine....beautiful design. Quality is Top notch. Made extremely sturdy. All sort of gaming options included. Night and day difference next to 1920X1080 60hz Just make sure you have Graphics card to take advantage. Im running GTX 1080 which mows through everything even at high to ultra settings . Will be buying another one. Packaged well and arrived no damage and on time thanks Amazon!!!

The OPTIX AG32C is an absolutely amazing monitor! I set it up and started watching some TV to warm the screen up for about an hour. After that the fun began, and I started gaming. Heres my personal take on it in a few different games. PUBG: Amazing colors both highs and lows, the low lighting in this game is a fantastic fit for the monitor and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Fortnite: Vibrant colors were sweeping the screen at an amazing pace without screen-tear or any blur. This monitor performed wonderfully. Far Cry V:The game played beautifully, and the curved screen and amazing color range gave the game a very immersive feeling. World of Warcraft: This is another game where the vibrant colors play a big role in the game. This monitor made everything extremely visually pleasing and the pop of the colors was magnificent. The only downside to it though is that my monitor took a week to arrive and had a single dead pixel, and dont feel like waiting two weeks for a replacement and going through all the trouble. Other than that, I would highly recommend this monitor to ANYONE. It has a fantastic color range that can be toned to whichever settings you would like, and a wide variety of settings and and modes to play with to make your experience as unique as you would like. And for the price, you arent going to find another monitor that beats this one in quality and style.

This monitor is simply... Brilliant.. Here is an extremely in-depth review of this beloved monitor (yes it has cons) Pros: - Beautiful display, crystal clear. - Extremely accurate colors - Contrast is impeccable. - Build quality is very strong and sturdy (was worried because of the small bezels). - The frequency and response time is out of this world. Cons: - VESA mount 100 x 100mm is very misleading. The manufacturer provides virtually zero guidance. You need to go to their website and then unzip a file to get their PDF manual (which is ridiculous, they link you to this page with a QR code on their one page pamphlet of a manual included in the box, I had to get on my laptop and find it because of the zip file). The holes on the back of the monitor are placed in an extremely poor spot, it’s not true VESA if I need to get longer screws to fit a VESA mount on the back. The plate of my mount won’t sit inside the hexagon shaped bezel where the stand sits (you can see this displayed in the manual and the pictures I posted), I’m guessing only VESA mounts with the corners missing the edges can actually fit inside. Be very careful with which VESA mount you choose. If this wasn’t such a great monitor, I’d take a star for that. - 1 or 2 grayed pixels. .. It did have a one or two lightly grayed pixels in the top left corner, but due to the pixel density of the 1440p screen (roughly 113ppi) it’s hardly noticeable. It looked like a dirty spec on white screens like Web Pages, Word, and Excel but only for a second and while I noticed it, it was very easy to forget about (honestly forgot about it completely but remembered for the purpose of this review as I couldn’t think of any other cons). You can take my review with a grain of salt as my primary use is for gaming. I just do some programming for school and fun, didn’t bother me with that either. Other reviews of monitors said this is an extremely little amount for bad pixels and honestly better to just bite the bullet than fight it because the next monitor could have even more. I’m not sure if this is acceptable or not but MSI doesn’t have major promises. I’d still give this product 6 stars if I could. Other thoughts: - The anti-motion blur (“fastest” response setting) creates a lot of ghosting on Windows.. I didn’t notice any of it in the heat of a game though. In fact, the “Fastest” setting reduces brightness and creates more ghosting than “Fast” setting, so I typically just use Fast for everything. It is by far the best. - Eye-saver setting really ruins color (with good reason), but I could see it being great for productivity, I can’t stand the color but I noticed INSTANT eye strain relief when I switched to it for web browsing. It was the strangest sensation. - SteelSeries GameSense doesn’t really have any compatibility at the moment and I didn’t have the patience to try and create custom profiles as it allows for... I can’t even see the LEDs while I’m gaming at a ridiculous pace like CS:GO and Overwatch. But it is cool to look at when you happen to notice or walk in to see your whole rig, with the LED lights synced up with your chassis (there is no setting for this, I had to sync it manually). - Overwatch and CSGO (CS:GO) look SPECTACULAR. The frequency and resolution are amazing. I have a GeForce 1080 Ti, and it’s pushing over 300 FPS at my settings, and still accomplishing roughly 110 FPS on highest (epic) settings on Overwatch. - The Freesync can’t work with GeForce but if you push over 144 FPS, it’s not noticeable. I noticed a tiny bit of stutter when it dipped below 100fps at higher settings, but it was still much better than 60hz, and would be improved further with an AMD card with Freesync. - My gameplay vastly improved at both games with hitscanning and twitch/flick shots, and I credit it highly to the new monitor. The response times are just ridiculous. I had a 24” 1080p 144hz AOC monitor before and could never achieve the beautiful fluid motion I have got with this monitor, it’s unreal. 10/10 would buy this monitor again, might even wait until it’s a better price for 3x displays.

I have the 27-inch 2560 x 1440 144hz 1ms response time and I am absolutely BLOWN AWAY! Best purchase I have made in a long time, I do not know why people do not leave reviews for 144hz but I feel as if I have been teleported into the future of gaming, everything is amazingly fast and so smooth the 144hz combo with the 1ms response time and 2k resolution is maniac especially if you have a monster rig that can run it, I was gaming in 4k 60hz before this running everything ultra that is in the past, the 144hz changed everything and made me fall in love with gaming all over again, I would usually place first in various games but was always wondering, how is this guy beating me I am an excellent player, the only conclusion I can come up with now is that they had 144hz and I did not! My reaction time is insane and overall playing has improved tenfold, I am a monster at everything I play now and it is smoother than real life. IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT THE JUMP FROM WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO 144HZ YOU MUST DO IT! THIS IS YOUR SIGN, IF YOU WANT TO BE A BETTER PLAYER OR JUST SEE WHAT ITS LIKE TO GAME IN HEAVEN PLEASE BUY!

Excellent display. No dead pixels, great refresh rate and build quality. The only quirk it has is that it seems to expand/contract throughout the day as the room changes temperature, causing the plastic on the rear of the monitor to "creak" or "pop" occasionally (quite a lot after the sun goes down as well). Nonetheless, I am very pleased and hope this stays in production a few more years so I can pick up an identical one to replace my other aging flat monitor with. Side note: Dont expect to be working with photos or other applications that require high color accuracy. It is hardly noticeable in most use cases except editing photos for example.

Size: 32-inch | Style: Optix AG32CQ Review First off this is a great monitor for the price at this size, especially if you are looking for 144Hz. I mainly got this monitor because it was VESA compatible, however; when I tried to attach the VESA arm to the back of the monitor it would not fit. The metal piece that helps connect the monitor to the included stand was sticking out too much for me to screw the VESA plate in. I had to saw off that piece of metal in order for it to work; it turned out wonderful! I Just did not want to return the VESA arm or the monitor. Unfortunately, the port of the Displayport is a bit too big and loose for normal Displayport cable. Everything works as it should when the monitor is in a static position. Its only when I move the monitor with the VESA arm that I encounter problems. When I moved it the screen will go blank if it was in a wrong angle. Which is frustrating when Im doing homework or studying for an exam and I need the monitor in a certain angle. Wish I noticed the port issue before I saw off the piece of metal and threw the box away. Luckily, I had a spare Displayport cable with a (umm) more girthy tip that resolved the issue. Now I can extend the arm to any angle and the screen wont go blank. Incase anyone wants to know.

The quality is evident before you even open the box, which is to be expecting from MSI. Assembling and attaching the stand was quick and simple, only required a screwdriver. The picture is crystal clear and great for watching movies and playing games. For me what made this monitor stand out from other similar products in the market was the HDMI 2.0 support, which they unfortunately dont advertise enough. My gaming laptop only has an HDMI which is typically capped at 60hz but with HDMI Im actually able to utilize 120hz! Finally getting to use my GeForce GTX 1070 to its full power! Id never used a curved screen before but Ill never go back to regular flat monitors, though it will be years before I ever need to consider buying another one.
