Product Overview

MSI Optix MAG342CQRV is the company's latest flagship gaming monitor that happens to be 1500R curved. In response to consumer demand, MSI has it a 34” UWQHD panel, 100Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and Adaptive-sync support.

Compared to the traditional 16:9 panel, the 21:9 panel widens the screen so that gamers can enjoy a more immersive experience. The widescreen will also allow gamers to multitask with several windows when needed.

The Optix MAG342CQRV is further strengthened by the Gaming OSD App, which allows users to set different display settings for different software. In-game hotkeys are also supported.

MSI also markets the MAG342CQR, which offers almost the same feature set except for slightly faster refresh rate, higher brightness and contrast, and richer color gamut.
