Oh, limit 5? I was going to get 10 and have a 3.6m circular display that I could sit inside while I watch all the prons!

Big time notes about this one:

This monitor is ultra wide 1440p, not 4k.

This monitor has HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2a (this is a monumental flaw for many potential buyers; further explanation below).

To run this monitor uncompressed at 5120 x 1440 in 10bit color @144hz (the monitors limit) it requires 31.85gbps (plus overhead).

DP 1.2a is limited to 21.6gbps.
HDMI 2.0 is limited to 18gbps.

You will be forced to pick and choose which of the maximums you want, the monitors input ports cannot run the screen at all its max settings at the same time. And again, its NOT 4k.

https://screenresolutionchecker.c...calculator

Sadly, many monitors today skimp on the port inside the monitor where the cable plugs in, and that becomes a significant limiting factor. In most setups, your video card will be able to push 80gbps, the cable you buy will be able to push 80gbps, and the monitor input port will be limited at 21gbps, or 32gbps. It's a genuine sham that is unbelievably prolific in the monitor industry right now. For some users and in some cases DSC (compression) can fill the gap, and in other cases it can't. If you are a game that plays full screen, it will add a re-handshaking period where your screen will turn black for 5-10 seconds whenever you alt tab, or exit the game etc; as a consequence of utilizing DSC.


HDMI 2.0 (the HDMI port on this monitor cannot use DSC).
DP 1.2a (the display port on this monitor cannot use DSC).

The actual limitation of this monitor is more like 5120x1440 @60hz in 10bit.

Even 5120x1440 @144hz in 8bit 4:4:4 color neither monitor input can handle the data stream, and it simply won't work these settings require 25.48 Gbps ignoring overhead requirements.

Get a VR, no space needed and you'll be part of the experience, at least that's I've heard 😂

I've had mine for a year. Absolutely love it. I upgraded to this from 2-24" LG Oled monitors. I use it for work and it allows me to be far more productive.

VESA certification for ClearMR 8000 and DisplayHDR True Black 400 ensures exceptionally vivid images and mitigates motion blur. OLED Care 2.0 reduces OLED burn-in risks.

You would only need 9 of these monitors to do that

This is an amazing monitor. At least for me, it is much easier on the eyes compared to Samsung and LG's offerings (yeah, I tried'em all ). I can actually use the MSI for work, as well as play Vs the Samsung/LG variants that gave me a headache.

Great monitor. I'm using this right now in my home office. I liked it so much, I bought one on my own dime to use when I'm at my workplace. Great color and contrast (naturally... it's OLED). It makes multi-tasking a breeze, especially with a good window management program like Display Fusion.

The one I had in the office started displaying weird vertical banding after a few months (it may have been due to a power surge / brownout), but they (MSI) ended up replacing it anyway.

The only real knock I have on it is the somewhat forced pixel refresh mode. You can cancel out of it (or at least I used to be able to). It runs for a few minutes with the screen powered off... and then you're back in business.

I got in around the $679 mark. This is pretty slick for what you get.

I bought the 4K version a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't get used to the screen real-estate because the vertical/height feels pinched. I was coming from a 43" Samsung Smart monitor, but I wanted OLED. I ended up getting the 45" LG 5K OLED. I like the aspect ratio on the LG much more.
