What customers say about "Key Specs"

MSI Optix MPG341CQR Curved Gaming Monitor

The resolution is a real step up and gives you appreciably more desktop space.
I like upgrade both in terms of screen real estate, resolution, and a nicer looking VA panel.
The resolution is just perfect. 1440p is a good middle ground that you will enjoy staying at for a good while.
The 1440p resolution makes images look better, and everything looks so smooth.
Excellent value. Excellent resolution specs.

LG 34GK950F Curved Monitor

As would be expected, this LG monitor 144Hz is a world of difference for gaming, and the Freesync seems to work just fine.
For work the 34” ultrawide format has always worked well for me, since I can have two documents side by side.
The size is large enough to act as 2 monitors, games look amazing thanks to the aspect ratio and feel amazing thanks to the 144Hz refresh rate.
It's rather expensive but it's not that surprising you are getting 1440p, 144hz, ips display.
The panel offers a 3440 x 1440 resolution and most importantly of all, a 144Hz.

What customers say about "Display"

MSI Optix MPG341CQR Curved Gaming Monitor

Just turn it on and 'wow' what a display!
The picture quality is fantastic with super satisfying, vivid colours.
Good screen colouration with vivid colours and a wide spectrum of customisation for different colour schemes.
My favourite part is the amazing colour as it is a VA panel.
Picture quality was awful, colour, brightness and sharpness were on par with cheapest monitor's I've used.

LG 34GK950F Curved Monitor

Monitor performs with lovely colours and factory calibrated.
The picture is great with sharp colours and decent blacks.
The monitor is Awesome, virtually no back light bleed, no glow. colour was very good out of the box.
The colours are just amazng, thanks to the panel being IPS.
Backlight bleed in the curved corners was way too noticeable as was the "IPS Glow".

What customers say about "Features"

MSI Optix MPG341CQR Curved Gaming Monitor

There's a couple of nice gaming focused features too - you can enable an on screen cross-hair to help with aiming.
You can enable LED lighting on the rear too if you wish, although I personally don't see the point.
With this product MSI hits the mark, perfect ratio of features and price.
Also RGB is nice feature too, for people who like it.
I liked the design, features and refresh rate, Freesync worked flawlessly with G-Sync.

LG 34GK950F Curved Monitor

The VESA mount is useful if, like me, you prefer your monitors mounted on a pivoting arm.
Just had to download the firmware update and then Enable Gsync in nvidia control panel, it works flawlessly.
This model is compatible with AMD FreeSync graphics cards for variable refresh rate support, and even has an added Motion Blur Reduction.
There is a good range of ergonomic adjustments offered by the stand. Tilt offers a wide range and is smooth to move.
The materials were of a good standard and the build quality felt decent.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

MSI Optix MPG341CQR Curved Gaming Monitor

Upon opening the box I am greeted with an HDMI cable. Good connectivity.
A display port cable, a power cable and a USB cable has perfect connectivity.
The USB hub inclusion on the monitor allowed you to be able to plug any USB device.
Inside you'll find a HDMI cable, display port cable and a USB lead, all you need to get started.
Hooking up to the Display port (it also has two HDMI inputs if needed) allowed me to set up the high refresh-rate display. Perfect.

LG 34GK950F Curved Monitor

The 34GK950F offers a good range of connectivity.
Love the additional 2 port USB 3.0 hub, with the ports located on the back of the screen.
A headphone output connection is provided for audio pass-through, which is pretty good.
The back of the screen features the connections which is pretty convenient to plug.
If you only have a DisplayPort 1.2 output, you will be limited to 3440 x 1440 @ 120Hz.
