Overview
MSI pairs an IPS panel with a fast refresh rate and adaptive sync in a compact gaming monitor. Night Vision lifts detail in dark scenes, and the stand adjusts for height and tilt.
Smooth frame rates and IPS color make it a sensible first gaming screen. Full HD at this size is fine for games but less crisp for spreadsheets and text than a higher resolution panel.
Who it's for
Students and new PC gamers who want smooth play. Creative pros needing more pixels should look at a higher resolution monitor.
Pros and cons
- Fast refresh rate
- IPS color and viewing angles
- Height adjustable stand
- VESA mount ready
- Full HD only
- Single HDMI port
- Contrast figure in specs unclear
Performance notes
Adaptive sync matches the screen to the graphics card's frame rate, removing tearing. The fast MPRT figure reduces motion blur, and Night Vision brightens shadows rather than the whole picture.
