Apex Gaming Computer Review

I've switched to this after 1.5 years with AW3423DW, because Apex and Rocket League have been the majority of my gaming hours. The productivity loss wasn't that bad, and the stand shape leaves room for another monitor if needed. The visuals seem on par with the Dell, but the smoothness is a noticeable upgrade. It is especially clear in Rocket League with its rough transitions when playing the ball cam (like you normally should). 540 Hz monitors with strobing have even better motion clarity but I won't put up with ghosting nor the hit to image quality. The timing around Apex's vulnerability deprived me of the most relevant comparison, but even a similar frame rate looks better in The Division 2. Unlike Rocket League, this must come down to a massive improvement in total latency from superior processing time. AW34D3W was unusually bad for OLEDs, while this MSI tops the charts. The monitor supports 4K input for downsampling the image from modern consoles and media players. The flipside is that PC games detected the monitor as 4K when using exclusive fullscreen, but the borderless option is taking over anyway (DX12 doesn't even have exclusive fullscreen). The connectivity is an upgrade as well: 2 genuine HDMI 2.1 and a 90W PD USB-C are amazing to have. There are also the usual 2 USB-A ports and a backup DP 1.4, too. Software-wise, this is completely fine out of the box unlike certain Samsungs and Dells were. A DSC toggle and separate color profiles for SDR & HDR should come with a future firmware, and the only other quirk is monitor turning off rather than going back to standby after a pixel refresh on idle. For pure gaming performance, this is the best OLED at the joint lowest price for this panel. I haven't been able to identify a caveat here. It is a great time to be an OLED aficionado.

Great motherboard and WIFI extender that goes with motherboard. The WIFI extender has really helped me with my WIFI and has significantly improved my gaming when it comes to really competitive games like apex or call of duty

Ive had this computer for 4 months so far and its doing great. I game on it(COD, Apex) & do video editing in 4k and its running great.

I bought it for my use, but my son uses it for his gaming computer. Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this as mainly as work/gaming computer. I probably spend upwards of 12 hrs/day infront of my computer so something that's comfortable and fast refresh/high performance monitor with versatility is what I needed. This monitor really fits the bill and I would recommend it to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gaming computer is by far the best invention they have come out with. It was so easy to program and everything is easily accessible I definitely recommend everyone to try this computer out. Especially if you love gaming as much as I do.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We only have one computer in my household, and that is my husband's gaming computer. This is great to store things like family pictures on, which is what we use it for, without taking up room on the gaming computer. I would rather have our pictures on this anyway, as it can be removed and put on another computer if needed. Very handy.
