Newegg = eww, but

- Rgb ring on the back
- Decent stand

Looks decent to me if you also enjoy MSI's design

However, AOC seems to also have USB ports too

I think the negative on the AOC is that it doesn't get very bright, so this one may be better, anyone have one of these?

I bought this one last week from Microcenter. I'm currently on the 3rd monitor. The 1st one had 1 dead pixel near the middle part of the bottom. Went back to Microcenter and exchanged for the 2nd one. The 2nd one had 4 dead pixels. I was so pissed off since it wasn't that easy to repackage the 34 inches screen and drove it back to the store. I bet on my luck for the 3rd time. Went back to the store and exchanged the 2nd one for the 3rd one. The 3rd one has 2 dead pixels. Each of them is on the far right of the screen. 1 top and 1 bottom. I don't know man. What the hell is wrong with all of these QA/QC of MSI brand :| . It's 500$ so I expect 0 dead pixel. Is it too much to ask for? Besides that, everything seems good to me.
Some flickering if you try to use the GSync compatible with the Freesync. Sometimes they are there, sometimes they are not. I just turn it off. I have a RTX 2080Ti founder edition in case anyone need the reference for GPU.
