MAG 345CQR

On my MSI 40” Ultrawide it was nuts

For remote working, I got a MSI 34" MAG 345CQR. It's supposed to be a "gaming", but it was one of the cheapest with a good curve (1000R) and matte finish. It obviously doesn't make me as happy as my LG 34GS95QE (which I got for gaming), but that one was much more expensive and is OLED so I can't use it for work (hence buying the MSI). Still quite happy with it, it's perfect for work. Didn't try gaming on it.

If it's just for productivity, you don't have to pay that much. My own WFH ultrawide is MSI 34" LED - MAG 345CQR. It was 360€ last year, got it for 324€ (using a coupon the shop sent for my birthday). No issue with it so far. Chose it mostly for the price and the good curve at 1000R (and the lack of oled, as it's not good for work - my other home 34" is oled but not for work)

So solid a monitor, I owned three at one point.

I have it and love it

In short. For me in my case no. I have both. An older MSI 34 VA 3440x1440 curved which I used to game on and bought a LG C2 42 Oled 2 years ago. Never would go back to the MSI for gaming. I just use it to work from home and slip it on the side whenever I want to start a Game. I know the MSI is not on oled but I love the size and the screen so much more on the LG. Plus the LG can do Ultrawide also which I use here and there for demanding titles and just because of better frames. If you can go 4K and have the hardware to do so then I would go 16:9. I don't miss the ultrawide and the 21:9 ratio at all.

I've already ordered the MSI MAG 34-inch monitor. Which one did you get — the MSI MAG or the LG?

I got the MSI MAG34(something something) in around 2020 as a good budget option and it's still going strong, not had any issues at all.
