The monitor is not yet available in German retail. Technical data and experience Rapid IPS panel with 200 Hz and G-Sync The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen.

The panel achieves the 10-bit color depth via 8-bit + FRC. The color space coverage is 85 percent DCI-P3 and 105 percent sRGB. MSI Optix MAG301RF MSI Optix MAG301RF with Mystic Light WFHD with 94 ppi at 21: 9 Information about whether there is a possibility for wall mounting according to the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS).The MSI Optix MAG301RF gaming monitor relies on a fast refresh rate of up to 200 Hz and a response time of 1 ms GtG – and that when using an IPS panel. At 2,560 × 1,080 pixels, the resolution is between WQHD and FHD and ensures a wide aspect ratio of 21: 9. Unlike the MSI MPG Artymis 343CQR (test) with 34 inches, 3,440 × 1,440 pixels and 165 Hz, the manufacturer has installed a flat display in the MAG301RFDE. The stand of the monitor is sturdy and ergonomic with up to 130mm height adjustment, -5°/20° tilt, +/- 45° swivel and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility. However, some competitive games don’t support ultrawide resolutions due to this competitive advantage, though there are only a few of them (Overwatch, StarCraft and Valorant as far as the popular titles go).

So, at a reasonable viewing distance, you can still see all the action, including the extended horizontal screen space of the ultrawide format, allowing you to sooner spot the enemies trying to flank you. The operating temperature shows the safe temperature range (from minimum to maximum), within which the display will function flawlessly. Outside this range it might operate improperly and/or fail entirely.Nov 7th 2023 LG Adds Pair of 45-inch DQHD Displays with 200 Hz Refresh Rate to its Ultragear Lineup (18) Now, ultrawide monitors are mainly praised for the extra immersion they bring to the gaming experience thanks to their wider format for an extended field of view. So, how can something intended for immersive gameplay be great for competitive gaming? The MSI MAG301RF is the first 30″ 2560×1080 ultrawide monitor with a fast 1ms GtG pixel response time speed and a high refresh rate, which is why it’s perfect for competitive gaming. Variable refresh rate (VRR) is supported with both AMD’s FreeSync Premium (48-200Hz) and NVIDIA’s G-SYNC Compatible (60-200Hz) certifications, ensuring tear-free gameplay as long as you’re within the supported VRR range; LFC takes over below that.

Ergonomics Information about the ergonomic functions - height adjustment, swivel angles, tilt angles, etc. VESA mount In the past, if you wanted a fast ultrawide gaming monitor, you had to settle for a 34″ sized screen (which many find too big for competitive gaming) or one with the 3440×1440 screen resolution, which is substantially more demanding on your PC than 2560×1080, resulting in lower frame rate and choppier performance.

Price comparison

Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. The 30" size for me is just about perfect, but I can see why people might prefer a 34" monitor. However, I have quite a small desk and I don't think a bigger monitor would fit. The stand is sturdy and easy to set up. Monitor is no longer made solely for PCs. To ensure that players can get the smoothest 120Hz experience when playing console games, MSI provides console-specific settings and has undergone many tests to ensure that both the device and the screen can offer the best performance. The MAG301RF also has the RGB lighting Mystic Light, which is now known from MSI, but unlike the MPG Artymis 343CQ, it does not have the manufacturer's logo illuminated. The lighting can be adjusted using the “Gaming OSD” software under Windows, for which the USB upstream must be connected. You can choose from various effects so that, in addition to static lighting, you can also choose a flowing wave effect or the reaction to the image content. In practice, almost nothing is directly visible from the lighting in front of the monitor. It is again too dark for that. It can be used as ambient lighting in completely darkened rooms.

The colors are vivid, consistent and accurate, covering the entire sRGB color space with minor extension beyond it (105% sRGB).
