Reviewer score 70%MSI's Optix MAG321CURV is a decent, price-aggressive monitor. It's not the screaming high-response twitch monitor that hardcore gamers lust for. It lacks the sizzling refresh rate and adaptive sync technology of competitive gaming monitors. But its high resolution and adept handling of photos make it suitable for home-office use.

Pros
- Sleek design
- Good color coverage
- Solid build quality
Cons
- No G-Sync support
- No adaptive sync

Reviewer score 74%The MAG321CURV doesn't let you adjust gamma, so you'll have to accept a light value of around 2.03. Activating the User Color Temperature cut brightness by more than half. With detail set to its max level, we were able to game at a consistent 60 fps.

Pros
- Sharp, accurate color in SDR and HDR modes
