MSI G241, 24" Gaming Monitor, 1920 x 1080 (FHD), IPS, 1ms, 144Hz, FreeSync, HDMI, Displayport, Tilt

This monitor is amazing so far. It’s a very vibrant panel, admittedly sometimes a little too vibrant. I’ve messed with the colors a bit in the MSI Display application and the monitors own menu and managed to bring that down a little bit, but it’s still seems pretty saturated. For me, that’s not really an issue. My old monitor (a $70 Walmart brand monitor) was very washed out and bland so I was specifically looking for something with better color display, and I’ve found it with this monitor.If you’re looking for a vibrant display with colors that really pop, then this might be for you. If you’re looking for a more standard/average color display, then you might want to try something else.The build quality feels high quality for something at this price range, which was a very nice surprise. The stand is nice and sturdy, the monitor itself is very sleek and well designed, and the materials don’t feel cheap, in my opinion.Honestly, this monitor looks and feels very premium.The factory settings were, as previously stated, very bright and vibrant. Other than that, they were right on the money. You shouldn’t need to mess with them very much to get your desired results.*SOMETHING TO NOTE* Some reviews have stated that they can’t switch to 144hz. You need a Display Port cable or an HDMI 2.0 cable, and their MSI Display Kit program to manually switch the refresh rate to 144. You might be able to use the nvidia control panel for that, but I’m not 100% sure, though you should get the MSI Display Kit application anyway, because it offers many settings and options for the monitor, including a full color calibration menu, something the monitor menu doesn’t have.*ANOTHER NOTE* This monitor does NOT come with a display port cable, you’ll have to buy one if you don’t already own one. It DOES come with an HDMI cable.I can honestly say that I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase.A monitor of this quality, with everything that it’s sporting, for this price? This is the deal I was looking for.

So far, it’s amazing. I had to return three different monitors or a different brand (pixio) because of so many dead pixels and just bad in general, but this monitor is affordable and very high quality for the price. I wish the stand would raise but at this price range, you’re gonna get what you pay for, which I still don’t even mind. The 144hz is just fantastic for playing games, I love seeing that 144fps in the top corner when playing games, it’s very sleek looking and very thin bezels. Can only notice slight dead pixels when getting very close to screen which can’t even notice from normal view.

For all of you gamers out there who want to get a bit more serious gaming and get a monitor with a higher refresh rate, this is an excellent monitor. For the pricepoint on amazon, it has everything I wanted and probably everything you would want.It was relatively easy to use and set up (although there was a bit of an issue with the DP Port at first, it was easily fixed by power cycling the monitor) and it works with G-SYNC or FreeSync.In the games I've played I have seen no screen tearing and it feels silky smooth. I ran all games on an RTX 2060 with games at 144/VSync or 120 FPS.If you're looking for a great monitor with a value pricepoint, this is it.

This and the mount for the monitors was a Valentine’s Day gift I got for my girlfriend. I already have the sightly larger and curved 165hz version of this monitor so I felt okay buying this one. The bezels on top and sides are very small. The look for this monitor is very pleasant. I’m very happy with this and so is she. If you are currently playing on a tv and thinking about changing that up I would suggest starting here with this model.Pros144hz works.Dp works.Both hdmi works.Has screen crosshairs available.Easy to mount on stand or desk stand.Free sync (for AMD cards).ConsSmaller screen.Screen crosshairs are not my favorite choice of style.No g sync. (My graphics cards in my PCs are 2070 super and 2080 super so I can’t use free sync.)

I bought this in 2020 when I got a new PC, I kept my old smaller HP monitor as a 2nd monitor but I just had to buy another one to replace that one because I just love the brightness and how detailed everything looks on the monitor. I never had an issue with dead pixels as explained in some reviews, the one I got in 2020 never had any issues with that. That being said I can’t wait to replace my old HP 2nd monitor with this one!Edit: It's 2025 and the one I bought in 2020 is now going bad, there's a bunch of colorful lines when turning it on but after awhile it only shows a couple of colorful lines at the top when it " warms up". I had bought a second one in 2022 and that one is still doing good but I'm not sure how long it'll hold up with this one going bad after 4-5 years.

This monitor is great! 144hz runs smooth, IPS panel is easy on the eyes with good viewing angles and vibrant color. Joystick menu controller is simple and works very well to control menu. Side and top bezels are very small. Overall it's hard to beat if you're in the market for an under $200 gaming monitor.Some things to note:FreeSync isn't enabled by default - but it's easy to turn on and off under the gaming setting.FreeSync works with 10** series and up Nvidia GPUs. Plays nicely with my GTX 1070.
