Yeah, the say it is 1ms MPRT but does not match my Benqs 27" BBR in terms of crosstalk and general feel. I know bc I have Benq XL2720Z and my son has C27FG73. BUT...colours and blacks are so much better...
I am waiting for some review of new MSI 24 0.5ms response time screens(240Hz). They TN, but ppl reported more vivid colours and better angles, so maybe some IQ improvements to old tech. And they should have blur reduction too.

The 1ms thing is just a lie. Read any review on a serious web site and you’ll see the monitors makers are always lying on that.

I have the FG70, and while the response time is over promoted and probably not technically precise, these VA panels are very solid performers, i never owned an IPS but from TN to this its like another era. 80+Hz on freesync has a noticeable effect on motion perception and comfort. Beyond 95 Hz/FPS motion looks uncanny and only helps ghosting on fast moving pixels.

Isn't it 4ms though? I think it was the same deal with their last VA monitors? They use their own measurements (much like Samsung) to circumvent the industry standard.

This is a Great monitor for the price.
The curved monitor came in a good packaging and it's a great value for the price also the monitor comes with great features and great in-game assistance.
The only downside I have come across is the stand. It can only angle up and down and it is stuck at the same height. I would just like to move the monitor up and down some times.
I highly recommend this monitor to anyone making an AMD build to fully utilize the AMD freesync and 144hz.

Curved screens are becoming a gimmick when applied to small monitors. Only monitors that can make use of the curvature are the larger ultra-wides.

MSI seems to have changed the monitor and newer versions should now come with adjustable stand.
I'm getting mine today, hopefully it's this newer model with adjustable stand.
Source came from an unboxing video. I'll look it up and post it here.
EDIT: Ok i read it wrong lol, seems to be only tilt.

Bam!
Msi Optix monitor got hit and blocked the bullet and still functioning.
In a gesture of goodwill, the MSI company reached out to Gan privately to offer him a replacement monitor and other MSI related swag.
