Thank you for the review. Hope this monitor becomes available soon. I don’t get all of these hype when there’s nowhere to purchase them. It’s not even a rare item.
321urx is unobtainium in the usa. I had to buy the dell instead. Just stacked discounts and cashback to make the price inoffensive. 10% off then a 24% cashback.
I would definitely consider this and save money. Do you really need BFI for PC gaming? Just use VRR. As far as I know you can't use BFI at the same time with VRR or am I wrong? And DP 2.1 sure that is nice. But wholly not needed since the monitor is limited to 240Hz and more than enough for me. Using DSC to achieve the 240Hz is not noticeable anyway.
Brilliant review. But can uou help. I would like to buy the monitor now but running a 3080 gpu did you say you can run the msi 1440p i know its not ideal but waiting for the 5090... i know the asus has a aspect control in settings but like you said why pay more when o don't need the extra stuff playing cod. If that helps any advice would be fantastic from anyone t.y to all
Dude, I have a 3080 and I have no issues running Cyberpunk, Once Human, Forza, Red Dead, Diablo 4 etc in 4K with this monitor. Looks great, runs great 👍 The 3080 was actually advertised as a 4K graphics card 👍
@GoranKlintenheim thank you for your support and time to answer my question. That's brilliant news. Just git to decide which one now the msi or the asus I'm from the u.k so the asus is £200 more but can't decide
And add the fact that no matter how much they talk about burn-in protection and warranty, in the end you might not see any burn-in before 3 years but it will happen if you use it like an ordinary monitor with much static on the picture. So therefor I am not comfortable of using one for my usage that is 8+ hours of work + gaming. I also can't live without 2 screens, how will it feel having 1 OLED + 1 IPS side-by-side? Or should I go for 2 OLED's when 1 will be used for only web browsing and youtube? Nah I think I wait :P
Would you recommend this monitor for a Macbook Air M3? Primarily running Adobe's Creative Suite, with some light video editing. Also would use to watch Netflix etc. Thx.
I have a simple question: when I turn off the PC with this monitor and press the off button on the monitor, does it really turn off or does it go into some cleaning mode?
I'm new to this so idk how this question lands but: can someone's please explain to me how I can stream movies/shows on this monitor without it looking bad? I've tried different browsers and for whatever reason, I can't get high quality streaming on this monitor. I have it connected thru USB-C via a Thunderbolt 5 cable to my M2 Macbook
What webcams require USB 3.0? USB 2.0 is more than fine for me as the only reason why I would use USB 3.0 is for storage and 1Gbps/2.5Gbps Ethernet and nothing else.
One thing to be aware of with MSI is their RMA process is strictly through the retailer. So if you need to claim on the warranty it has to be through the retailer. It's a right pain in the arse and has quite a few potential pitfalls. If you are going to buy MSI it;s probably best to buy from a retailer that you feel confident will exist for the warranty period and has good customer service.
I just stacked discounts and cashback to get the aw3225. 10 percent from the sale on their site brought it down to 1080. then another 20 percent cashback from rakuten and 4 percent cashback from my credit card. also 10 bucks from dell rewards. not counting taxes ended up bringing it all down to around 820 so around 900 total.
@@laggmonstreteven then it is less than the Alienware, where everywhere it is the opposite. I believe MSI just did it to get misleading reviews like this one. Reviewers in English should show prices in different markets like the EU.
This has always been the problems with the this so called " PC monitors " ...the price !! I would rather get a LG TV C2/C3 42" OLED that cost 600-800 usd than this monitors...
This monitor is only for US !! for the rest of the world is not an option because the inflated price 40% more !!! The asus model is a much better option
No OLED is not future while it can’t go beyond 400nits brightness i don’t think it surpasses IPS LCD, Among all OLED’s i heard that LG 32” version is the brightest but still lacking behind LCD’s. Im ok with fake HDR, backlight bleeding instead going for dimmer displays & less durability OLED’s
yeah I hear ya, but now days they need to innovate more, there's been 4k monitors for some time now. At least the new LG has dual resolution/refresh mode, quality speakers in the screen etc... More need to work on improving the speaker quality and systems, add more USB - Type C or multiple USB 4 ports to them, KVM Switches, New Display Port Standard, 2.5GIG Ethernet connections...so much more could be done for the money being asked.
Hard disagree, I want my monitor as barebones as possible because all those features will increase the price and I may or may not use them. I’d rather a good monitor for a lower price and add accessories if I need those other things. Especially speaker quality which is never going to be nearly as good as a dedicated speaker.
Man, Am from Canada and H O L Y It hits EVERYTHING, And the worst things about it. Are the things I miss from my stupid TV monitor from Samsung. To be fair with Samsung I was warned. But I "lost" as Optic audio cable, and thats the only thing I miss. I use a sound bar. I broke my TV and its why its my PC audio, very nice, just a BAR
Feel like I've been waiting for years for a decent 4k OLED that isn't gaming focused and still doesn't exist. Someone please make a 27" 4k OLED, even if it's 120hz. What's the point of 4k 240hz when most GPUs can't even max out a 2k 144hz monitor.
It's almost as if this reviewer isn't based in Europe and if you wanted a review from someone in Europe, you easily could search for one that is (there's literally tons of them).
It seems that only RUclipsrs and people with a large platform have access to this monitor... way to go MSI keep losing money to the available options from the competition.
Yes, it's been proven over and over and over again that those thumbnails drastically increase the amount of people who click to watch the video. That's why everyone who actually is using RUclips as a job/income does it, because it works. Please get over it, this is such a 7 years ago complaint.
@@mattspeer01 Clearly you don't know anything about RUclipsrs A/B thumbnail testing feature or the fact that it's possible for more than one type of thumbnail to be effective. As if your Suggested feed isn't a billion other shocked face thumbnails for videos that all have tons of views. Or as if many of the most successful content creators haven't said in interviews that those thumbnails work. No one's saying you have to LIKE those thumbnails, that's not the conversation we're having. But they work. If you want to ignore reality go right ahead bro 🤷

Is it good for colour grading, too?
Will this be good for graphic design work as well?
Everything is a price strategy. I would rather see features that are not related to the nature of the screen removed and the price reasonable.
$950 = € 850, meanwhile it cost €1399 = $ 1500 here in The Netherlands. Thats almost double the price. . It's INSANE 😮

I want to know the correct way to turn off and all the RGB turns off
Does it support Gsync Compatible without any problem? (flickering)
Fsr is open source, nvidia cards can use them.
In the uk this is priced the same as the much better asus model and both are never in stock anywhere
In England? Which Asus model?
have you callibrated your monitor?

how do you fix this problem?

4:50 does the hdmi support full resolution max refresh rate and variable refresh rate with or without dsc?
No it uses DSC for higher than 4k 144hz 10bit.
