MSI just dropped a new curved gaming screen called the MAG 345CQRF E20. This thing is a 34-inch ultrawide built for high refresh rate gaming, featuring a sharp 3440 by 1440 resolution and a super aggressive 1000R curve that supposedly wraps around your face. They are using a Rapid VA panel that hits up to 200 Hz with a super-fast claimed response time. It boasts a high native contrast ratio for deeper blacks, a peak brightness of 300 nits, and HDR support.
For colors, it covers a good chunk of the DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB color spaces while hitting over a billion colors, which is decent for games and some media work. You get one DisplayPort and two HDMI ports on the back, plus a special mode to help it play nice with consoles. The stand lets you move it all around, adjusting height, tilt, and swivel, and you can rip it off to mount it on an arm.
Gamer bells and whistles are all over this model. It has Adaptive-Sync to kill screen tearing, along with some AI tricks for auto color tuning and a smart crosshair that changes based on what’s on screen. MSI is basically aiming this at players who want a fast, immersive curved display with better contrast than the usual IPS screens.
