MSI Optix MAG301RF 30" Ultra-Wide Gaming Monitor
Product Gallery
Product Overview
MSI Optix MAG301RF is a 30-inch ultra-wide gaming monitor with a flat, 200Hz IPS panel that covers over 100% sRGB color space. The combination of ultra-wide and flat IPS panel makes the MAG301RF a unique proposition.
With its 21:9 aspect ratio, the Optix MAG301RF is able to offer a wider field of view in a more familiar form factor that avoid distortions.
The monitor offers 1ms response time to complement the 200Hz maximum refresh rate, while it is also G-Sync compatible. Additionally, the Optix MAG301RF comes with a console mode that operates at 120Hz.
Another reason to use IPS panel is its superior color reproduction, which the Optix MAG301RF delivers.
Last but not least, this monitor also comes with a stand that is tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustable.
For those who prefer a curved monitor, MSI also markets the 1500R-curved MAG301CR that uses a VA panel.
