Review: Underrated budget gem - This monitor is seriously great. I was torn between a handful of ultrawides but opted for this one as going to larger panels (49" and above) results in less vertical space and more horizontal space. Transitioning from my previous 32" 1440p panel to this was a breeze as they essentially share the same height. I like this monitor enough that I have a second one on the way to stack them up for work. Only glaring downside to be found is the stand is abysmal. Seriously. Don't buy this unless you also plan to grab a mount or have one that can support this panel, but a serviceable one can be had for $30-$50. Side note: I'd avoid any monitor mount that has a quick disconnect feature where the monitor connects to the arm via the slide and thumbscrew design, as the weight and size of this monitor will most likely cause a small amount of droop at the connection that is hard to alleviate. There are a lot of these out there, so reading assembly instructions or looking at customer photos/product photos first will save a lot of headache. I would opt for a simpler design that directly connects to the back of the panel via screws or go premo and get an Ergotron or similar quality arm. I'm currently using VIVO mounts, specifically the ones that mount the monitor to the plate w/ 4 screws and have had no issues with droop or sagging. (STAND-V001T for reference) OSD menus are fine, if a little slow to navigate, but you're going to most likely set it up once or twice, and then rarely, if ever, dive back in. Picture looks great in SDR and has almost eye searing brightness at 100%. IPS panel is actually an IPS-ADS panel made by a company called BOE. There are some alleged refinements over a traditional IPS and while I'm not at liberty of being able to make a direct comparison, I will say colors, viewing angle, and motion on the panel look great. No perceived ghosting for myself, personally. No backlight bleed whatsoever and that's highly impressive to me as I had a few years run with VA panels instead because I got sick of playing the IPS lottery. I can't make any claims about HDR as it's not important to me for gaming or work. If you're looking for an HDR monitor, based on the HDR400 spec alone this probably will not satisfy, but it's more of an extra feature than the main event and while Win11 brings lots of autoHDR goodness, I'm still not convinced about leaping fully into HDR. USB-PD and KVM switch is super neat to have onboard, and while I haven't needed either just yet, I have plans to utilize these soon. Overall, it's an exceptional panel with a wealth of functional, full-baked features. I think it strikes a great balance of price/performance. While it may not have the most bleeding edge panel tech like QD-OLED, and it's no HDR beast, and the stand is absolute nonsense, I think there's a lot to like here for $400, and even more when it's priced at its current $350.
Review: UW 40 inch that is perfect for desks. It's smooth for games/movies. One stuck pixel, however. - I adore this monitor! This is the best price-to-quality display on the market. There's no arguing that! I spent about 6+ months keeping my eye on it, and I was fortunate to buy one in mid-October. I wasn't able to set it up until last week. I'm blown away with how rich the colors are for games. I've been playing WoW, The Last of Us Part I, Forza Horizon 5, Oblivion Remastered. They all make FULL use of the 20:9, and it's just incredible how rich the colors are. I just have one TEENY WEENY problem. I have what looks to be a stuck red pixel. I want to know from an expert, someone who has this monitor, or preferably, from MSI, what you'd recommend doing to bring this pixel to life! I believe it is stuck, not dead. It could just be one, or it could be a few in a tight, singular region. Any help would be great! P.S. The screen size finally makes use of my desk's real estate. It's an older wooden desk, and it's large enough to watch movies, from 10-15 feet away! The refresh rate makes video and games look naturally smooth, unlike some screens that tend to make movies look cheaper, less cinematic (at higher Hz). Setting it up was little trouble. The stand is good, though my monitor is slightly tilted, given the off placement of the holes-to-screws.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ great monitor it self
*by D***N on January 12, 2024*

i guess i can try to rate this. pros monitor it great jammed with a lot of features. and yes this is worth the money i love the fact that the software that you download for this lets you control all the monitor settings and presets and overclock. i got mine overclocked for my gaming. and my 9700xt sync right up with this. with no problem. even has settings for watching movies. a lot of people do not like the stand. but i guess they have a micro desk not sure why its in the way. unless they changed it. also this is a wide screen. it is 40" from top left to bottom right. but the screen it self height wise you could say a 34" cons 1 no info on how to set this up. no videos that i could find on this model to help you out. the button on the bottom right corner is not the power button. i first thought it was a d.o.d i am not sure what that button does yet. the button on the back is the power button and the menu. 2 on mine the usb B would not work. into i replaced the cord. and then it just keeps making the disconnect sound. it finally took thank god but not sure why this was going on. as i have a lot of usb stuff and everything else was working fine. 3 shipping. was slow. 2 weeks but i did get it on the 12th instead of the 15th/23ed was just a bit aggravated cause i am a prime user and this is a amazon sold product. but it was packed good and taken care of. 4. the lights on the back change and all. look cool. but there not bright at all. at least from what i see. there running now and i cant see them reflex off the wall or nothing. so it is kind of pointless. unless i am missing something. i dont look behind my desk so. i well never see them lights in action. over all it really is worth the money. i do like it. once you learn the settings you well not regret this at all.
