The MSI Optix AG321CQR monitors is a great monitor on paper but unfortunately for me fell short with a lot of its offerings. That's not to say all is bad here its just not up to the same standard as the rest of their Optix line up which was a let down.
MSI AG321CQR:

Coming from VGA, then Tube style TV's. This monitor is great. I think the only reason to complain is if you're use to having $1,000+ gaming Monitors to play on. For the Average person $300, and this thing will last you a really long time. I would never spend $1,000+ on a gaming monitor, at most maybe and a big maybe $500. So if this is the best they got, then it's the best they've got. $300 is great, and if you think of how we came from the 90s with nothing near this good. This things like GOLD.
Of course something like a Neo G9 would be epic, but I'd just buy a 2nd 3090 ti at that price haha.

The monitor looks great for me with custom color temperature. R/G/B: 45/51/51. No complaints about text, very sharp.
Really? I want to get it
Keep price to performance in mind. I love this monitor, picked it up for 260
I paid that for this monitor and a Asus Rog StrixXG27A
Me too
I watched your review, but anyway purchased this monitor and immediately regretted 😄. The colors on the monitor seemed quite dull, and it lacked brightness. Despite my best efforts to adjust the settings, nothing seemed to rectify the issue. Next day, I exchanged it for a slightly more expensive but vastly superior monitor, the MSI MAG 325CQRF-QD. With vivid colors, excellent contrast, and a brightness of 300 nits, I am thoroughly pleased with this monitor. To those considering this purchase based on the review, I strongly suggest paying a little extra to avoid the MSI Optix AG321CQR. You won't be disappointed.
Thank you, I appreciate your experience and recommendation.
Interested to know your settings. I just bought this monitor and have been fighting with the settings far too much.
Same here, would love to know the most ideal settings for this monitor.
Hello my dear friend. For trade, do you think I should buy two 27 inch monitors or a 34 or 43 inch smart TV? Isn't the speed of the mouse movement and the response of the smart TV slow? Thank you for your advice.
Helps to load the drivers for the monitor.... IMO. LOVE the monitor Super easy to set up in minutes.
If there only were Linux drivers :\
@@KubikDezimeter Did you plug in the USB?
@KubikDezimeter It loads its own drivers, but you have to plug in the USB.
Straight out the box I can’t even select the Image settings… is this because of a driver issue?
@@TridentNine Make sure you use in the USB. The drivers are preloaded in the monitor
I have the ability to scoop this up for 160 secondhand new as soon as tomorrow. I dont have the money for a 350-400 dollar 1440 + 144hz nicer display. Im a graphic designer and just built a pc so im looking for the best option for lower price
It’ll be a good starting monitor for sure 👍🏻
the only review on all youtub I don't understand the language unfortunately, could write what are the disadvantages of this monitor (for the author)
What about inputlag and response time measurements? Did I miss that info or did you not mention it anywhere in the review?
Alot of comments seem to be from MSI fans or those who have only used one or two monitors. This was an excellent review and very very accurate. I was looking for a budget gaming monitor for my wife and the monitor was so rough, I thought it was broken. Replaced with a new unit and had the same issues. The setup is walking a tightwire.
🙏🏼
What did you end up choosing monitor wise in the end?
@@obbz I still use the AG321CQR and I really like it.
This next part will sound backwards thou.
At home, I am now using 2 of LG's ultragear 32GN600 monitors. A localish walmart had them for under $250 so i grabbed 2. Yes I know it's much cheaper and is only a 1440p 165hz monitor, but I like the 2k ultra 120fps gaming scene. Turns out it was mispriced but I love them. My home setup is using a 6900 XT which plays well with the monitors. My work rig uses a 3070 which is great with the optix screen but had issues with the LG ultras I use at home.
I didn't want to overspend on monitors, I'm well aware that my current setup is nit a fan favorite, but try it. I love it.
@@VRtheFuture Hello, which monitor do you recommend lg or msi ? I wonder MSI has 250 nits on paper but some msi monitor gets higher than 250 nits even if they have 250 nits on paper ? Can you compare those monitor ? which monitors brighter ?
@@VRtheFuture i got MSI AG321CQR
I know I'm super late to the party, but after having this monitor for over a year I actually just realized that Windows 10 does not recognize it as an HDR monitor and it doesn't even display the HDR options in the menus? Any chance I could get some ideas on how to go about enabling HDR on this monitor or do I have to buy another one? :(
Who actually uses HDR in a monitor?
Enable it on your pc
Hey 1 Up nerdcore, 3 days ago i've bought this good looking monitor. Is it worth to return the monitor, get money back and get a better one in this price range? If so which one should i look after? It's the black smearing that kills it for me especially in games like DayZ at night time. Also im using a Nvdia gpu (3060ti) is FreeSync doing anything good or bad? Sorry for the questions...should've watch this vid first...
Me too
Very great detail explaination.
I'm looking for 32inch monitor mainly for productivity mostly watching movies, netflix and minor gaming. I wonder, which would you recommend out of the 3 choices I have? Since these are the ones I have access to:
MSI Optix AG321CQR, Gigabyte G32QC & Samsung Odyssey G5 32"
Thank in advance.
I would go with the gigabyte personally. It has better colors than these two with extra USB ports and the adjustable stand which the Samsung doesn’t have
I got AG321CQR
Hello. Please help me. Firstly Thanks for the honest video review. I was considering this monitor but no more. My friend bought the 27 in ver. Can you please suggest a budget 32 curved? I feel this is the size I love most but it seems that many brands are having trouble due to the sheer size, VA tech, controlling blur, colour consistency, sharpness, blacks etc. Is there one that is best and a nice balance in your opinion? I would appreciate your advice. Or do I have to go 27 in to achieve that? Thanks for your time.
All that depends on your budget. Check out the RCA I’ve reviewed on the channel or the Pixio. Those have been some of the best performing in this same price range.
@@1UpNerdcore thanks for the reply. I'll check them out
I gotta know where you get these wallpapers, those some of the best wallpapers I’ve ever see!!
Wallpaper engine on steam
Once you set the coloring with the Mystic software does the monitor keep it?
Can I set it up on 1 machine and then hook it up to my gamer machine so that I don't get that software on it?
Hi there, Kudos for the review, I bought it last week but kind of not that much satisfied with it. Using this monitor with laptop and console. I am using this monitor with ps4. it's giving me UHD resolution with 60hz refresh rate. While I thought it will gonna give 144hz with 2k resolution. Can we something about it by changing some setting on play-station ? Do you have any recommended settings for the console users ?
PS4 won't output a refresh rate over 60hz, even if the monitor has the capability to. However, having a monitor with low display lag is absolutely needed and you'll notice a huge difference over a TV.
ps4 has a refresh rate of 60fps 🤣
@@albibarry2999 I bought dell g3223d
The ps4 doesn’t output anything more than 60
Question ... Fist off Thanks for the info I've seen mixed reviews about this monitor and wanted your option cause you seem knowledged on monitors ...
I just built my 1st PC I use it for light office work and gaming plus kid is getting into streaming and video editing and 3d creations to print ... My set up is
Rayzen 9 5900x ..MSI Meg b550 unify
Amd Radeon RX 6900XT asrock phantom gaming OC ...ddr4 3600 gskill trident z neo.... Sorry for the long comment but I'm hoping you can help with a few monitors I can look into I don't want to spend over a grand on a monitor as you can see I'm in for a pricey PC as of now I'm in Canada so this MSI monitor is just over 400$ so thanks for any advice you can give me ... I just want to get the most I can out of my GPU ... I also use Xbox series X to game ....
Thanks so much for any help
I would say look at this Sceptre monitor:
amzn.to/3x81dN8
I did a review for this one the channel.
Here’s another one that’s cheaper I did a review on also: amzn.to/3LGjMMc
The problem will be for a budget around 400 you end up close to really high end monitors but not quite there. If you plan on using the console on it don’t go with an ultrawide it doesn’t support the 21:9 aspect ratio.
How's the input lag? I'm debating between this and the Rog Strix XG32VC
how i can switch to Potrait mode not in windows i mean the monitore in every picture i see on sites i can do this but it dont work HELP PLS
🙂 Thanks for the review, I was wondering if it comes with a Display Port DP Cable because alot of gaming monitors are Stingy AF and they only give you an HDMI Cable and then you gotta waste ur time either going back to the store or ordering one online, local stores around my house dont care DP Cables, what a hassle
I believe it came with one but I can’t remember off hand
Mine didn't come with manuals and sticker on the bottom
hi bro i was thinking of this one but the flat screen but it seems like this monitor is already old and looks okayish do you have something else to reccomend? i was looking for 31-32" type of monitor with 2k res and atleast 165hz
Check out my review of the Pixio monitor: it’s a 27inch I review but they have a 32inch version
tnx bro@@1UpNerdcore
Hi, can i ask you what are the live wallpapers you use ? Thanks, and very good video.
I use the wallpaper engine off of Steam
@@1UpNerdcore Thanks for Reply
hi, can u review about HP X32 Gaming Monitor . please is gonna be helpfull
i have this monitor along with an aoc 4k 144hz when i choose to have a picture on it the screen flickers but if i delete the drivers and reinstall them without having another monitor it works fine do you know what is wrong?
Try dropping the fps to 120 and see what happens, might be because the 144 is the monitor over clocking which can cause flickering
ive not really had any issues with the whites being off on this moniter but im no expert. could just be bias😅
I almost purchased this one, thanks for the video I'll go for something better

Sorry to ask but im considering to buy this to replace my benq2480 23.8 inch monitor... Since I saw this at a mad discount (from 300€ to 197€) is this a good monitor at this price?
Yea it’s a solid monitor at that price 👍🏻

Hi
This monitor or odyssey g5? why?
Which monitor do you recommend in this price range?
For a little bit more is go with the Sceptre ultrawide monitor I just reviewed.
@@1UpNerdcore Definitely hope you didn't listen to this guy and buy yourself a 100hz monitor lol..
@@1UpNerdcore any other recommendations accept Sceptre within the same budget or lower :D ?
@@JamieG992 There's a spectre ultrawide of which I am currently using which is 200hz. Just look around

im interested in buying one, i have a 21.5 inch tv that its like 5 years old, to me this looks great, with all respect, honestly all i hear in the video is 1st world rich people problems

@@NoWhereGate okay let me know what you think
@@x_Fitzy looks great, but unfortunately not available on my country (right now amazon would be my only way to get one) but i was also considering on the LG 27GL650F-B, i dont really mind the 1080 res, i´m more interested in size and Hz, what you think about it?
@@NoWhereGate no ps5 has now supported 1440p that's what makes the difference and if you're playing on a new console or pc I suggest you get the 1440p
Oh this is awful to hear. The MSI Optix MAG272CQR is brilliant. Sad to see this step backwards on a good series.
Agreed, I don’t mention this in the video but I actually sent my first one back thinking it was broken but no it’s just not the best panel.
@@1UpNerdcore xDDD
I have this panel and have no issues.
I just got this monitor, looks pretty great
Will this monitor be good for xsx?
Is 300€ a Good Price for the Monitor?

is there a speaker ?
Do you recommend ASUS TUF Gaming VG32VQ1BR Curved Gaming Monitor over the MSI. Please respond
I want to know this also
@@Oversurge_ i later went with the MSI is much better with good settings 👌
@@eghosalanky2567 just checked them both out at a store. Colours seemed slightly better on Asus without tweaking on the demo display videos. But it was so dim compared to the MSI. Wish I could play with the settings. I think I'll get the MSI though.
@@eghosalanky2567 Hello, this monitor has 250nits but asus gets 400 nits on test. Is there big difference between two monitors for brighness ? Did you have any chance to compare those monitors ?
@@eghosalanky2567 me too, you have AG321CQR??
How is this on the ps5
G Sync compatible ??
Yes
If you don't recommend this monitor then is there a few is roughly the same price point as this one that you would recommend? I was planning on having this Monitor (or the ones you suggest) as a monitor for gaming and then a 27" Monitor Better Colors and a IPS panel for graphic design and other stuff like that.
Sceptre has some good options, check out my reviews on their monitors
@@1UpNerdcore Okay thanks
@@1UpNerdcore Is the Sceptre E325B 144hz a good option? Its $280 on amazon
Should I get this one or get the 4k msi 32 inch?
4k if you can 👍🏻
@@1UpNerdcore yh I've found the msi Optix MAG321CURV which is 4k looks and performs great but its only 60hz but my graphics card plays 60fps on 4k anyway so should be fine for me,but is this monitor still good though?
Is samsung better?
This or the Samsung Odyssey G5?
G5 👍🏻
This monitor is actually great and i have to disagree with your opinion
How many monitors have you tested in the same price range to compare it too?
hi guys can anyone tell me how to adjust the height on this monitor I can't seem to get it lower
@@1UpNerdcore you sookin cause you had to go into settings boohoo
@@1UpNerdcore that kinda discredits the review, you’ve used monitors far outside of that price point, and i gotta say that would make you kinda biased, and that goes for all reviewers, if you use a $1000 dollar monitor daily, than switch to something at a different/far lower price point you’re going to see only the bad and imperfection, because you hold far higher expectations than a kid getting their first gaming monitor. You’ve had enough experience with different monitors to create your preferences and see the difference, which is completely different to someone possibly getting their first monitor and want a 32’. Even someone who is looking for an upgrade from their cheap old display. For example, a lot of reviewers i watched shit on the aoc 144hz 24’ monitor, i was afraid, but got it anyway, and it was absolutely amazing, and i still have it now, the same thing happened on my ultrawide, and both are the best purchases i’ve ever made. That’s why i say take some tech reviews with a grain of salt.
@@KingKevron push it down
Anyone can find a monitor arm that suit it
Is there built in sound?
No speaker but it has a headphone Jack.
how can I remove the eco mode?
You can’t remove it you can just change it to another preset in the settings
This or the Asus TUF monitor?
I haven’t tried the TUF monitors with similar specs but I wouldn’t recommend this monitor over many others so TUF might be worth it
I just got it... I like it lol
Getting a better dp cord and an expensive hdmi cord really makes a difference
Only to your wallet though.
Ah yes, the buyer's placebo effect.
It absolutely doesn't. Both HDMI and DP are digital signals, which means the quality of cable doesn't matter at all.
Unless we're talking about standards, eg. upgrading a HDMI 1.0 cable to a 2.1 cable, then it does make a difference in the support of higher resolutions and refresh rates.
i bought tis monitor and returned it 2 hours later! what a piece of crap!! i wish i saw your video before i bought it.........
dude hdr in windows looks like shit on every hdr monitor you have to calibrate
250 nits brightness is bad for any monitors. Most laptops in currys store have 250nits
Do you have this monitor ?
yeah dont listen nor watch this dudes monitor revies he is bias .. hes looking for the perfect monitor that dosent exist
Nope not biased, it’s my opinion for sure and this is one of the rare instances I didn’t have a lot of good things to say about a monitor.
@@1UpNerdcore i think other wise . in the first minute of the video you are compareing it to a samsung g5 witch was a $600-$700 msrp and thats with the 27" the 32" and higher were more if i remember the msi model your reviewing basicly half the price and thats being fair, your review is bias dont compare a budget tier monitor for the size and specs to a double the priced G5 monitor ofcourse it wont be as good. seems to me your secretly in cahoots with other componys on the dl . and to me that is bias.thx btw i dont even have this monitor but i will buy it and i will be happy with it because well its not $700 Gs nor the smaller sceptre monitor you also recommended that also cost more
@@thomashardin6441 i just got this
Hello there. İ play games just for fun. Not a pro.
There was a promotion and this was the cheapest 31.5 inch 2k monitor that i can find. For example for g5 i must pay %40 more. So really cheap.
İt is not thar bad right. And i use 1080p 75hz Philips mva panel monitor. İt can't be bad as this one right. 😂
It’ll be better than that for sure 👍🏻
@@1UpNerdcore Well i was pretty lucky.
There is no dead pixel. No light problem it is smooth black. Colors was pretty good for my taste. As for performance. i don't see any ghosting so far. And i set the light level to zero. And close the lights at night. Open a 4k test video. İt is looks like looking through a window to another world. 😇

In real life we do not see the overly bright images as 1 U p Nerdocre seems to like, judging by this video. Colors in real life do NOT snap nor shine. If like me you are simmer, not a gamer, then you want to simulate reality. I would look for another reviewer who prefers a natural image.
I adjust the exposure to match what I’m seeing with my eyes as closely as possible. If I made the video darker you wouldn’t see the stand or mold at all and people would complain about that. Nothing else has been done to the video so I’m not sure what you’re talking about.
The negative way you present this just boring to watch. Regret watching this.
