I just got a MSI MAG401QR. Pretty good. No dead pixels.
I had the mag40, it works well for sim racing. Ended up upgrading to Samsung G9 Oled recently from mag40
im in same trouble, i got msi mag401qr but 40' was too much and send it back. Now i cant find any good not overpriced 34' monitor.
I have the same monitor. Works great
MSI MAG401QR was a best budget ultra wide option for me too, great choice.
Msi MAG401QR 40” ultrawide if you want 1440p. It’s flat, not curved. But price is great at $399 usd. I use it and no complaints from me, but I also use a wheelstand and desk so I can’t speak to how it feels in a true rig, even though I get the monitor close-ish to me with the stand right up under the desk. I would go triples if I had the space though, this was a limitation and compromise of my space
MSI mag401q 40 inch 21:9 3440x1440 for me. They are cheap fast and any basic vesa mount works
I use the mag401qr I like it. If you run a USB A cable too the monitor with your display port the two USB ports work as a USB hub
You need an IPS monitor because, as you mentioned, you’ll be using one or two IDEs for around 10 hours a day, which could lead to burn-in issues with an OLED. There are some good 34" IPS monitors, such as the **U3425WE** or **MAG401QR (flat)**. However, if your work doesn’t require keeping the IDE open for 10 hours straight, then you can go with an OLED, such as the **Alienware AW3425DW**.
