Gaming Laptop Monitor Setup

This monitor is great for work and gaming I use it for my gaming laptop and work laptop. Color and brightness and perfect.

so, i really bought this monitor more for work because i needed something with some real-estate and a budget. i picked this monitor to pair with a new laptop (gaming laptop with a rtx2060). gaming was second and productivity was first... well... so i thought... this monitor does a really great job with gaming. i have absolutely no complaints about it other than the one display port and 2 hdmi. i would much prefer display port, but that was very minor overall. the screen real-estate is fantastic. although, now that i am getting the g9, not sure what's going to happen to this monitor, but i am sure i will find a way to put it to good use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this monitor, it was everything I needed for my new gaming setup, I got a few of them.

I absolutely love this setup. This is my second MSI gaming laptop. I have also owned some other brands of gaming laptops and so far MSI is my new gold standard. This things chews and eats up anything I throw at it. Definitely recommend some good headphones cause it can get pretty loud when playing graphicly intense games but that is a no brainer and to be expected with a gaming laptop. There is nothing I can't play at QHD ultra settings and I am always getting around 60FPS or way higher. Even Cyberpunk. Definitely recommend to anyone with the $. This is a case where you most certainly get what you pay for!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor is great for multitasking. I can easily fit 4 windows on the screen when I am jumping back and forth between programs. The quality of the monitor is great and no dead or stuck pixels. It has very slight light glow on the edges of a pure black screen in the dark but really not bad. The screen is very bright and the colors are great, very accurate without any adjusting. The 160hz refresh rate is great for gaming. I like the slight curve of the screen. The built-in speakers aren’t super great sounding but it’s a nice thing to have when you don’t need a lot of volume. My favorite thing about this monitor is the USB-C connection with built in hub. I can go between my work laptop and my personal PC laptop by just plugging in one cable, it charges the laptop and the mouse and keyboard work, it’s great. I think this monitor is great for productivity and gaming.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gaming monitor is super simple to set up. I set it up with my laptop to enjoy gaming on this big 27 in screen and WOW! It makes my games look fantastic and the sound works great. I wont game any other way now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my monitor for school and gaming the Thunderbolt makes it convenient for my laptop and it has another port for PS5 so I can switch without any issues

I recently purchased this monitor as another display for a gaming laptop. The monitor is fantastic at showing colors and contrast. I run it with an AMD laptop (Asus Rog Zephyrus G14 max spec) and I have not noticed ghosting for the games that I play (most recently HZD). The display itself is great. My only complaint is the stand. It has a rather large footprint on the desk. I would recommend getting an arm to attach to the desk unless you don't need the extra space.

The monitor itself is super impressive. One can choose between the HDMI and the Display port, and choose for it to either stand on the desk or be mounted onto a wall. At first, I have opted for the former, but unfortunately, it ended up claiming almost half of my desk. It might work better with a corner one however. As for mounting it, this was quite a feat! But it worked great. Once the monitor gets to work, it is truly a sight to behold. I have tried connecting it to both my laptop and my computer. While the latter had of course better results as far as for example vivacity of colours goes, it didn’t do too shabby even when connected to a laptop (although, naturally, one can see and feel the difference between the employed graphics cards). Work 12/10: I work in translation, so I often need to have several reference documents as well as dictionaries pulled up. In this regard, this monitor is unbeatable as it manages that and more, with no fuss or problems, mainly thanks to the "Samsung Easy Setting Box" which enables custom screen splitting, so that you can have different windows in predefined areas. While this sounds good as a concept, it does not work that well in practise as it bugs a bit. Free time: Gaming - let’s be honest, this monitor is in a category of its own. The overall picture quality is incredible, as is the depth of colours. 100-120 FPS is no problem, which translates into a truly immersive gaming experience. As far as watching movies and videos goes, this is something that needs getting used to, as there are bound to be some chunky black bars. However, this small drawback hardly outweighs all the positives. To wrap up, it does excellent what it was made to do – gaming – but is nowhere near shabby when it comes to arranging your work either. The single pane really spoils you, as opposed to working across two monitors, and I am not sure I would ever be able to go back!

I needed a monitor for my desk because I was tired of using my tiny laptop screen for gaming and work. So far, it's really been an eye opener of how much of a color difference there is between my laptop display and this monitor! The monitor is so beautiful!
