MSI G32C4, 32" Gaming Monitor, 1920 x 1080 (FHD), VA, 165Hz, FreeSync, HDMI, Displayport, Tilt

ANOTHER IMPORTANT UPDATE:just found this out and boy am i lucky, this is a FREESYNC monitor which means it works amazing with AMD component computers. it will visually work for intel, but you wont get to use the freesync technology. if you have intel look for a G-sync monitor and thank me later. G-sync is better anyway, but its intel only.Edit: My original review comes from someone who is tech savvy but woefully ignorant when it comes to luxury monitors [being any monitor thats nothing more than basic display needs]. But does have a more average consumer reaction to it, so i will leave it.As i did more research on FPS, Hz, Resolution compatibility, this monitors compatibility with all the former, and basic monitor functionality i came to understand why i had such problems. I just didnt really know what i was doing.If you want the full 1080 @ 165 hz display you will need to use the Display ports on your graphics card and the monitor, you can still get 1080 @ 144hz with hdmi, but thats just how it is if you want 165 hz.If you want to set these settings [and you will have to] you can do it through advanced display settings in windows or just go to MSI webpage find the monitor and download the driver and program for the monitor. driver might not be necessary and its harder to do but i think it helps.Original Review:Taking it straight out of the box and plugging in to play was a no go. At first i thought i had a defective unit and was going to need to send it back due to blurry picture quality. But after messing around with the monitors menu and.... turning off the picture enhancing settings and sharpness to 0 i got the opposite effect of what should happen and had crystal clear display... but i wasnt done @.@ i could only interact with the fps counter by displaying it! And it read at 60 fps! Wtf?? Loaded league and no change. Turns out i had to download a program to interact with the monitor on my pc to even up the display to (get this) 144 fps?? Wheres my other 21 hz?? And not only that but when i reduce the fps output on league to a lock at 60 fps i still read 144fps?? Im not sure im getting what it displays as when it was set to 60 it was variable and read below 60 fps at times.All that aside, i got a 32 inch curved monitor with supposed 144 fps and supposed 1ms response times. I hope i got what i paid for, even if i had to tech geek it up to "fix" my monitor

I've only unboxed and installed the monitor. I've yet to even turn it on as the parts to the new PC are still on the way.I will update this review within the next few days as I build the PC and get the monitor up and running.Shipping was very fast & This monitor is gorgeous! I own two G27C2 Optix monitors for my build that have never let me down in 5 Years. The ultra-thin bezel is absolutely beautiful for combining monitors or just leaving it solo. This is for my wife and she absolutely loves the monitor size and placement. The Non-Glare looks stunning when the monitor is OFF! I can't wait to get some games behind it. On another note, I previously ordered 4x MSI Optix to VESA adapters to hang all my monitors on the wall. However, this monitor is already VESA compatible, so I only needed the adapters for my build.Pros:Very Fast shipping - Within 2.5 daysAbsolutely Stunning - (haven't even turned it on)Already VESA compatible unlike smaller/earlier counterparts - (fast and easy install for standard wall mounts)Cons:None yet!July 2022 update.Still going strong with great image quality.My other 2 27” versions are coming up on 7 years old and still working fantastic with heavy use.

I'm not an expert when it comes to all the technical aspects but from a consumer point of view this monitor is Amazing, 100 times better than my old one. After setting up the monitor and calibrating the color and other display settings the color simply pops and the brightness is superb. Best money I've ever spent on a gaming monitor.

Got this as my first dive back into PC gaming. Refresh rate is excellent, after some tweaking the picture quality was great. I can recommend this as a great gaming panel.

I see a lot of reviews for “common” defects in these monitors. Mostly seems like if the box was treated well during shipping and transport then you’re good. Not everyone treats these sort of products with delicate hands. MSI is a great brand. Compared to a lot of similar style brands/items, this definitely has great value for the cost.

I am a college student who needed a monitor that could support next-gen consoles and a mid-level gaming pc. Using the display port cable I’m able to run over 120 fps using my pc and consistently run what feels like 1080p 120fps on my next gen Xbox. The curve is the perfect angle if you sitting to the side of the monitor. The size is perfect for doing work at a desk as the curve doesn’t make it seem too big, but the 30” is also perfect for viewing from the other end of a bed. The only minus was the default color setup. At first the color and brightness was dim but after messing around with the settings for a few minutes I was able to get it just right. All in all great all purpose monitor. As long as you have speakers ready to pair with the monitor, this is your best option.

So my wife got me this as a Christmas gift and I was really excited until I hooked it up and started playing, the default colors and contrast is the worst part of the monitor, after some tinkering with the settings this monitor is beautiful, I'm surprised that it looks better than my acer 27 inch which is now being used as a secondary monitor. I really enjoy this product.

32" up close to my face is bigger than I expected. I got one of these for myself and my brother. He is in love with his while I do enjoy mine for larger video gaming as well as using it for working at home. It's almost been a month and the monitors are doing well, I will update this review again as time goes on.
