MSI's gaming monitors use a curved panel with a curvature rate of 1800R, which is the most comfortable and suitable for a wide range of applications from general computing to gaming. Curved panels also help with gameplay immersion, making you feel more connected to what's happening on screen. Moreover, playing games on multiple curved gaming monitors gives a great panoramic experience. The MSI Optix MAG series are equipped with a 144hz refresh rate + 1ms response time VA LED panel which has the most benefit in fast moving game genres such as first person shooters, fighters, racing sims, real-time strategy, and sports. These type of games require very fast and precise movements, so with an ultra-high refresh rate and fast response time monitor, you will be ahead of your competition. Gamers always want to play long sessions. Does 'just one more turn' or finishing that epic raid sound familiar? With MSI's anti-flicker and less blue light reduction technology, gaming becomes a feast for the eyes, even during long periods. With anti-flicker technology, we reduce the flicker-rate (unnoticeable to the bare eye) that prevents eye fatigue. With blue light reduction, we reduce the total amount of blue light displayed by the monitor and ensure longer gaming periods without eyestrain.

The MSI Optix MAG series is built to enhance your gaming sessions to be as comfortable as possible. With possibilities to tilt, swivel, and change height, it's easy to change the position of the gaming monitor for maximum ergonomics and an optimal viewing experience. And with the built in FPS front sight toggle you can always draw a sight to secure your aim during battles.

VA panels still slower than TN and IPS in respons times ? have yet to see any VA being better for gaming than TN or IPS in regards of pixel respons time. Maybe the is a new panel ?

Thats true, they have better colors and also better viewing angles than TN. But for gaming you want a fast panel to. I havent owned a VA panel my self, but from the reviews at TFTcentral, none of the reviwed VA panels are on par with "gaming" monitors with TN or IPS panels when it comes to overall pixel respons times, in fact its more or less a constant negative in all the propper VA panel reviews i have read.

Having bought a Dell U2711 seven years ago, I didn't realise until very recently what a small % of gamers used 1440 monitors. I think it was 3-5% so that explains why MSI have produced one now (and not before). Asus brought out the ROG 27" up to 165 Hz IPS G-Synch screen two years ago or approx so not sure what the USP of the 1440 MSI monitor is? The Asus screen is £693 at Scan Computers.
