Product Overview

MSI Optix MAG342CQR is a flagship 34-inch ultra-wide 1500R-curved gaming monitor. The sister of the MAG342CQRV, the Optix MAG342CQR offers faster refresh rate, higher brightness and contrast, and richer color gamut.

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 MAG342CQR 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.

The elegant, bezel-less design with MSI's Mystic Light rounds up the feature set.
