MSI Optix MPG341CQR 34-inch 144 Hz Gaming Monitor Review

Ever since I started using an Ultrawide monitor I’ve been hooked. I was always a dual-monitor person, but an Ultrawide allows me to get pretty much the same screen real estate without any bezels in the middle. Ultrawide’s have been decently affordable, but many gaming-specific features have been missing. Ultrawide’s are considered more for productivity, but for many titles the Ultrawide resolution is pretty amazing. Today we are taking a look at MSI’s Optix MPG341CQR which is a 34-inch VA panel with a UWQHD (3440×1440) with a 144 Hz refresh rate, 1800R curve, 1 ms response time, and AMD FreeSync. This seems like it will be the perfect display for someone who wants to be productive, but also wants a great gaming experience as well. Read on as we take a look…

Special thanks to MSI for providing us with the Optix MPG341CQR 34-inch 144 Hz Gaming Monitor to review.
