What owners think
How owner sentiment changed over time
ExclusiveBased on when customers actually wrote their reviews — so you can see whether early praise held up.
- Q1 20255/100
Buyers reported panel defects like flickering, dead pixels after 4-12 months, and failure to reach advertised 240Hz refresh rate. MSI's warranty support charged for shipping and didn't resolve issues.
- Panel defects after months of use: flickering, dead pixels, stuck pixels.
- MSI warranty support required costly shipping, long turnaround, and no guarantee of fix.
- Monitor failed to deliver 240Hz refresh rate despite capable PC.
- Stuck pixel dismissed as 'normal' by MSI support within 4 months.
- Q3 202473/100
Buyers praise the monitor's fast 240Hz refresh rate, vibrant colors, and value at $309, but note HDMI 2.1 absence limits laptop users from reaching 240Hz.
- Great value for a fast 240Hz monitor with excellent color and brightness.
- No HDMI 2.1; laptops need DisplayPort for 240Hz, not HDMI.
- Panel arrived defect-free with no dead pixels or light bleed.
- Ergonomic stand with flat base preferred over typical legs.
