I have had this monitor for a very long time. Surprised it is still made. I will say that it is fantastic. I have it next to an IPS 60hz 4K, and prefer this all day long (FYI...color calibrate my monitors with hardware). VA panel contrast is just so good when I compare them side by side. The stand is actually better than most static stands you would see, but VESA requires an adapter that was not included (You can 3D print the adapter [thingiverse.com]). Can you find better, probably, but you will pay for it. You also have to ask yourself if you want to support MSI after their video card controversy (Web search if you are not familiar).

As far as needing more than 100 FPS(Hz)...I can't personally tell a difference between the 2K 144Hz IPS I have (different computer) and this MSI. Also, to get 144 you need a very high end graphics card for most modern games, and good luck with that right now. I am sporting a Radeon 6800 (PowerColor Fighter) on one computer, and an RTX 3070 (MSI Gaming X Trio) on another. Something like Overwatch, or an older game, I can hit 144 with ease, but Cyberpunk 2077...no way.

To me 100 fps is the sweet spot for graphics with good frames. Also, to add a note that is kind of separate from this as many of you may also be looking at a graphics card. I will say that the 6800 flat out spanks the 3070. Not even close. The only time the 3070 does as good or better is with ray tracing. The percentage hit is much harder on the AMD card than the 3070, but I mainly notice reflections only when running RTX, so typically only turn that on for the few games I have that take advantage of that.

Edit: FYI..If you have an issue buying from a company like MSI, urlhasbeenblocked (an American company I believe) makes good monitors for a good price. I have a similar monitor from them as this MSI. It looks just as good, but did take more calibration to get the color right. I think they also have a no dead pixel policy and 3 year warranty. I did email them some questions before I purchased the monitor, and they responded within an hour. So thumbs up to their support.

Edit 2: Read Newegg's return/exchange policy before buying from them. I like to buy from them, but their monitor exchanges (bad pixels, etc.) are very strict. My 4K IPS has one dead pixel right in the middle, and am stuck with it.

Edit: 3: Blind Hz testing. Can you really tell the difference?

Depends on what games you like to play and what hardware you own. Anything graphics-intensive probably isn't getting over 100fps at ultra-wide 1440p anyway.

How is this one compared to the Dell for $380? Is the dell a lot better bang for the buck?

Different monitors. This is an ultrawide. The Dell is not. You would buy one specifically if you want the ultrawide or non-ultrawide.

I got the url-hasbeen-blocked Smilie a month ago, the one with samsung panel, and VESA mounted and so far I like everything about it except the fact that this VA panel produces more heat than my previous 27" IPS flat monitor...

I will never buy a monitor ......or anything else from Newegg again. I bought the 34" Gigabyte monitor from them about six months ago. It had very bad light bleed so I sent it back for a replacement. They were out of stock so I asked for a refund and they charged me almost $100.00 in restocking and shipping fees. I filed a complaint online and threatened to terminate my account before they relented and reversed the fees. However, I lost all trust in them. Buy from Best Buy, Monoprice, etc.
Completely agree with this. The only thing worth getting from Newegg now are small, cheap components but nothing expensive.

Newegg sucks now and they went downhill ever since the company was sold in 2016.

I returned a defective $300 product to them, because their support said it would be quicker to get a refund instead of exchanging. One month after they received the item, I still didn't get my refund. I contacted support a couple of times during the process and was told I just need to keep waiting. Finally 2 months later while still waiting on the refund, I contacted my CC company and filed a claim. Conveniently the next day Newegg "found my returned item" and processed the refund.

If you look on r/Newegg on Reddit, you'll see tons of similar stories about how terrible Newegg is.

Why the heck does Nvidia confuse people like this. They just need to call it gsync, and adaptive sync instead of referring to adaptive sync as "Gsync compatible". With that said, didn't Nvidia add Freesync (Gsync compatable) over HDMI 2.1, or was that just Gsync?
It is confusing af.. so nvidia has a list that they "officially" tag their gsync stamp of approval. Apparently they do multiple testing and see if different monitors live up to their standards

M—-price has an identical monitor. I love it. Even the stand is identical, as are specs.

Monoprice at $399 dark matter?

For those who may be interested...When I had my GTX1070 this MSI monitor worked great with Freesync (Gsync compatible).
