MSI - MPG 346CQRF X24

Ah I just got mine today. Here were the top 3 picks I narrowed down to: * MSI MPG 346CQRF X24 * Alienware AW3425DWM * AOC CU34G4Z There were several other options but I eliminated them. Ended up going for the MSI. MSI has a higher refresh rate than the Alienware, and the Alienware had smearing at Extreme response time. MSI also had higher static contrast and an AI tools function (not sure how good it is). There isn't much information on the MSI though.

I think it's amazing. It's a huge upgrade from my last monitors and I haven't had any issues with it. I also bought a competitive gaming monitor (IPS 360Hz) and in my limited testing there is a slight bonus in using that but I just use the MSI as my main gaming and work monitor.

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 had the MSI 240Hz and sent it back. Instead I went for the Alienware 240Hz OLED. It’s cheaper and I didn’t need the KVM or 90w charging.

I have this. I don’t game as much on it but my work involves having it on several hours of static mail or doc pages. So I was wary of OLED. But this is yes from me. I have thoroughly enjoyed using this and it looks sensational in person. My first ultra wide and it honestly has amused me over the last few months of ownership. Mac doesn’t utilize the high Hz but the colours look immense.

Haven’t personally faced too much but I also don’t necessarily think I’ve been scanning for black smearing tbf.

Bought this one from a sale for 199€ a month or two ago from a local retail tech store. I was prepared to return it since everyone warned about the "smearing issues". Personally haven't even noticed the issues if there are any, ended up not considering return after starting use. I've enjoyed a variety of games on it, ARPG, MMO, FPS both arcade and tactical. Has worked good, colors are good, viewing angle good, quality good, brightness good. Can recommend, but maybe wait for a sale if you can.

My eye can't even notice anything above 100 honestly, Mabye someone's can, however mine can't. However I am using higher and it looks damn incredible lol. I think you would be fine with this msi. If you want something better, I'd get a Samsung personally.

Looks nice, I also have an MSI monitor but a curved 34UW. Works and looks great!

3440x1440 is something else been using my new msi one for 6 months now and it’s amazing. Got it for about 400$ but I am temped to get a OLED one at some point.
