I got a VA panel Ultrawide not long ago thinking I wouldn't like gaming on it. Now I think I'm ready for an upgrade! $799 compared to the other options is a good deal!

I bought this monitor over a week ago! I had returned the Samsung Odyssey G8 because of the mini connectors and found the multimedia side of it caused issues for me! Luckily this monitor, alienware are using the same panel made by Samsung, I like it being passively cooled and not having to worry about a noisy fan that might have to be replaced eventually. Also found MSI has much better burn in features than the G8. Been using it for gaming, Netflix and youtube mostly. I don't want to ever go back to IPS or VA. The only thing I don't like is the connectors in the back face down so cables can still be seen even with a monitor arm with cable management built in. I think they could have placed the connections on the back facing the wall.

The MSI OLED looks awesome to game on - BUT, I love my 48" LG C3 120hz OLED, way too big, yes, but just so immersive!

How does it compare to the competition, the AW3423DWF can be found at roughly the same price

So jelly of your setup, looks so damn clean!!! Watching this on a older 4k monitor, that monitor looks sweet. I saw some people talking about productivity, issues with reading text, and something about it randomly shutting off every 4 hours, some kind of firmware issue/update. Did you run into any of that? I know its seems more catered to gaming, fps, etc, but I do some home studio/recording/making music from time to time, or when inspiration strikes. That 799 price tag is very tempting. Thanks for sharing as usual, I need to step up my setup a bit, every time I see yours, I just go..damn it..I want that, yes that right there!!!

What is that ultrawide but small monitor to the left of your Streamdeck? It wasn't in the gaming setup video and I didn't see it mentioned in this video. Thanks.

I like that 1800R curve better than the new 800R curves from the likes of Asus and LG. I wonder how that fares with the Alienware 1800R QD-OLED one? 🤔🤔🤔

I went with the X2-MSI MAG281URF Dual setup with x2 28" TUF Gaming for gaming work and school.

Hey Josh, I have an idea !!
Make a voice control pc;
You could control the rgb/argb fans and etcetera using your voice.
For example, when you say "switch to red" the entire rgb fans switches to red
or "change fan speed" it becomes faster and so on.
is it possible?

Hello, I want to know if i should buy a 4060 gigabyte Eagle paired with ryzen 5 5600 on a Asus Prime b450m-A II mothetboard. I got those together because it fits my budget...🤔

That MSI Ultrawide is looking great, but i will still wait a litte bit longer for the price to go down. Great video !

[FariedAhmed]

Came for the review but stayed to get a closer look at that desk setup.

[Captain-Chats]

Love the look of these ultra wides but I not only have a pc but also a ps5 and having the black bars either side while playing console would do my head in

[YoloVibs]

Ok I need to know what the little monitor is?

[sureshwarankrishnasamy]

Thats a good lookin ultrawide with specs.. Isnt the wall mount for 32inches ? it can support a 34inch ??

I heard that there will be a new msi monitor coming this April with a gen 2.5 panel called mpg 341CQPX. Some articles suggest that it will feature better text clarity along with a higher refresh rate. Is it worth just waiting for that, or should i consider this monitor or the alienware?
