Product Snapshot
Overview
The MSI Optix MPG341CQR is a mid-tier curved gaming monitor that was announced in late 2019. The display offers a rapid 4ms response time to get rid of ghosting during fast-paced gaming, stunning visuals thanks to its superior color accuracy, and with responsive RGB LED lighting on both the front and rear of the display, avid players will be treated to the ultimate gameplay experience. The display features a variable 144Hz refresh rate to prevent screen tearing, and with a stand that is tilt, height, and swivel adjustable, the curved display is a lot easier to adjust compared to the LG 34GP83A-B. Stick around for the rest of this MSI Optix MPG341CQR review to see what else lies in store and establish how it matches up to some of the top rated computer monitors in the market.
