Is this Msi VA monitor any good?

[paingineerr]

Hello everyone!
Im plannin to buy this Msi Optix Mag241C 144hz monitor. I would love to know what you guys know about it.
Should i expect ghosting problems(because its VA) on games like AC origins, witcher 3, Ghost;wildlands etc. ?

I use a 1ms ASUS 120hz VA. I play Shooters like Sniper Elite 4 and rpgs like witcher 3, ghost recon wildlands, fallout 4 and AC 3. I have never noticed ghosting despite the claims that VA's have ghosting. Anyway VA's have great color capability which I would say is more important than ghosting.

There was a monitor company called MAG years ago. Don't know if there is a relationship but they were average quality imo.

From other people's experience as well as recommendations from experienced store clerks, I wouldn't recommend any MSI monitor because there are often tons of issues with them, and quality is quite low for the price ranges compared to other monitors from other manufacturers like ASUS and BenQ in the same price bracket.

If you want a 1080p 144Hz monitor, I would highly recommend that you get an ASUS ROG STRIX XG27VQ as it has virtually the same specifications, but of a much better build quality and visual appeal due to the design and RGB lighting options, as well as a handful of other features/settings which MSI monitors almost always lack. I use one myself, and I stand by it.

If you're dead set on MSI for some reason, I won't stop you, but it's up to you if you want to take the higher risk associated with MSI's monitors.

As for problems with panel types, it's mostly visual. Some may have more input lag than others, but it's never really a problem.

Hmmmm... :/ Im not an msi fan or smthn but its the price that attracts me.also i will buy from amazon so if i had any problems its easy to return.
And the asus model u have is way too much for me. Even the 24,5 inch model is still expensive. I would save some more(and sell my gtx1080) and upgrade to 1080ti or 2080 instead :/

Thanks for the support btw. I ll definetly check some more asus and benq models.

MSI doesn't produce monitors, they sell AOC display with some RGB and apply their logo.
