    Just want to point out, don't mistake this for the MAG 321UPX. MSI said the 27 and 32 inch MAGs will not support firmware updates, which would make me weary as an early adopter. Only the MAG 341CQP and the MPG series can be updated. It's worth it to pay the extra $50 for the MPG version if you go with MSI.

      @@AlexDicy According to their website, the USB C in the MAG 321UPX is only used as a video port like HDMI or Display Port. It also only has 15W charging compared to the 90W charging in the MPG. All the monitors I have owned recently use USB Type-B for firmware updates for whatever reason. Type A would be for peripherals, and Type C would be for video and power delivery.
      I learned that the MSI monitors will also shut down after they do their automatic pixel refresh instead of going back into standby mode. Hopefully, they will fix this next because that would be annoying to deal with.

    Yeah good luck finding one. I recently was on the market and ended up getting the Alienware 32 as I could actually find it. But if you're worried about the curve, I've never had a curved monitor and honestly don't even noticed it after two days on the AW3225QF. Side bonus, with the gloss finish (as opposed to matte anti reflective), curve helps with reflections. So I'd take the curve just for that.

      @@DanielM.-mq4rm true but then you are stuck with an 55 inch OLED which is way too big for most people’s desktops plus not really a high refresh rate which also means that upgrading your pc with a new GPU in the future won’t be worth it as you won’t be able to get a lot of frames out of it cause of the low refresh rate unless you of course then also upgrade your monitor which will cost a lot

      When you sit closer to the monitor, the curve makes your peripheral vision, especially in gaming, a lot more active and important. At least, that's my experience, which is why I prefer the curved monitors.

    • @rustler08
      @rustler08 2 місяці тому +2

      False comparison fallacy. Curved TVs were stupid because you sat too far away from them for the curve to make any difference AND it impacted the viewing angles in a negative manner. It was a marketing gimmick that only detracted from the experience.
      The curve of a monitor at proper distances absolutely benefits the users, because it requires less head movement. In fact, you can technically move the monitor closer to you because you're able to take in more of the screen.
