1080P Gaming On 1440P Monitor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been on the market for a gaming monitor. I wanted something that wasn’t just HDR compatible, was high refresh rate, at least 30”, and 1440p. I was upgrading from a 144Hz, 1080p monitor that was 37”, way too big for 1080p. I saw the 32” G7 in a store and ordered it shortly after. This monitor is everything I was wanting. I didn’t think I’d like the curvature of the display, but I think it helps further envelope me in games. The refresh rate is more than ample for my needs. My desktop won’t be driving AAA games at 240Hz, but Nvidia G-sync helps with that. Colors are vibrant for a standard LCD panel and the 1440p resolution is just enough for gaming without stressing my system by pushing 4K. The built-in speakers are serviceable. They have RGB lighting that is controlled via the monitor itself. I would like to plug it in via USB and have an app for controlling it, but the OSD is fine. There’s also an RGB light ring on the back. It would also have been nice if it adapted to whatever the monitor was displaying. But those are two small complaints in an otherwise great monitor that will suit my needs for years.

The king of 1440p gaming. I have no idea what else could be done to make a better monitor.

I got rid of my bulky 1080ti desktop tower, and replaced it with a gaming laptop. I still wanted a nice screen(I had 1440p 144hz, but downgraded to 1080p 144hz), so I wanted a hassle free way of connecting my laptop and get all the accessories with just one cable. This is perfect for my needs. The listing doesn't mention high refresh rate monitors, but it is compatible. I tried two different monitors(1440p and 1080p, both GSYNC and 144hz), works perfectly. The only thing this doesn't do is charge my gaming laptop(understandably). It does charge lower power hogging machines like MBP/MBA, but I don't currently have a Mac with TB3. So instead of one cable, I have to plug in a TB3 and Power cable to my laptop to make it a Desktop, but it's still VERY GOOD compared to what I had to plug in before.

UPDATE: I've been with this card for almost 2 months now. And here is my final report after watching a few other AMD card like the interesting RX 7900GRE roll out. I remain ecstatic with this card. IMO it is the definitive GPU for 1080P-1440P gaming. I couldn't be more pleased with the benchmarks I'm getting in tests and in games. For example: Horizon Zero Dawn, Dark Siders 2, Crysis 2, Halo Legendary, Mass Effect Legendary and Kingdom of Amalur Reckoning are beyond beautiful games. They are magical! And all scale & play seamlessly at well over 200 FPS in 1080P on ultra settings. 1080P is my resolution of choice for up close PC gaming (new & old games). And this Gigabyte GPU, paired with my new AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is just unbeatable price-value-performance for maxed out AM4 gaming IMO. I am literally excited to play my entire library of Steam/XBox/EA games all over again with this setup. I am also going to snag a BenQ 34Mobius 1080P/1440P monitor with HDR, 400nits, 179HZ etc to fully max out this set up. And be satisfied for years to come.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this monitor for gaming and watching videos. . It's perfect as I can get 1440p . I actually have 2 of these running dual. While gaming on 1, I watch videos on the other. They pair perfect with the RYX3050 8g. The only downside is they don't have sync. I highly recommend this monitor for those who are on a budget.

This is an excellent gaming monitor. My favorite aspect of it is the deep blacks, vibrant colors, high refresh rate, and instant response time. It is a huge upgrade from the 1440p 144hz IPS monitor I was using. I chose this monitor over the 32 4k 240hz OLED versions due to the size and it being 1440p. I have an Alienware R16 with a 14900k and an RTX 4090 and pushing 300+ FPS on a 4k display is difficult but on a 1440p display it is very doable. I also appreciate the 3 year warranty from MSI that covers OLED burn in and the extensive OLED care built into the monitor. You can also upgrade the firmware which is a huge plus. Pros: Deep black, vibrant colors, 360hz refresh, OLED care, 3 year OLED burn in warranty, good price compared to other manufacturers, easy configuration, easy firmware updates, near instant response times, good text clarity. Cons: OLED burn-in is still a concern, having to perform maintenance to prevent burn in, have to periodically update the firmware (although that is also a plus for new features and bug fixes) Overall the monitor is better than I expected. I have an OLED TV but this is my first OLED monitor and I am extremely impressed. If you can afford it and need a new 1440p gaming monitor then I highly recommend. Thanks - William V

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor is amazing for gaming as it has hdr at 1440p with 240hz refresh rate which is amazing at competitive games

Monitor is great value at this price for a 1440p Monitor.

Very good and cheap monitor for 1080p gaming or a good seconday monitor, I had no issues with this the size is also perfect for 1080p, if you go up to like 27-32 inches monitor (1080p) it gets blurry, If you want a budget monitor buy this honest (any card should be able to get 165hz on this ez)

Arguably the best budget 1080p gaming monitor that you can buy. Great colors, even though its a little saturated, but I like that look. Impressive features like Freesync, 165hz (up to 180hz OC), 1ms response time (although a bit misleading), and its IPS panel. It's sharp, has good customizability, and is overall very good. There isnt really anything bad I can say about this monitor. BUY IT!
