MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED 49" 32:9 DQHD 144Hz Curved OLED HDR Gaming Monitor, Metallic Black

Overall great product - color looks great and vivid; 120hz is very smooth. Very happy with the product except for small text fringing issue

Coming from a dual screen side by side screen with a TV monitor above setup this is a major upgrade, being a 31x9 aspect ratio monitor it is like having 2 monitors side by side without a split but you gain more than that. By losing the split between the 2 Monitors this is wide enough to put 3 sets of browser windows across and have them plenty big enough to use.Picture wise this blows my old monitors out of the water, some reviews say they see issue with text quality as I type this on a white background I cannot see any the "issue" they were complaining about as this is as sharp of a picture I have ever had on any monitor, and the colors are also crazy good.I do use this in a dark room so glare is not an issue, only had it a few days so far but I am already trying to figure out how to get one for work.The stand is stable and the adjustments of height swivel and tilt are great.The MSI software so far looks to work well to control the monitor, it is a little slow, but is so much easier than trying to use the built in menus on the monitor itself (but even that is not bad compared to many other monitor I have used over the years).Gaming wise you can't go wrong with this other than it will take a powerful card to play AAA titles at full res.

Did a lot of research on super ultrawide monitors and for the price, this was the best option hands down. I will be using this for work and gaming. For gaming, they colors are super vibrant and old games feel new again with the added screen space. Workwise, its like having two monitors if you setup correctly, but I can put my main content on the middle of the screen when on zoom calls vs looking back and forth between two monitors.

I was really excited about this monitor when I first received it and wish I could be leaving a better review. The picture quality is fantastic and the colors are crisp and vibrant.Approximately three months after my purchase, the screen began to flicker in and out on occasion. Eventually, it went completely black, and did not come back. I contacted MSI customer support and opened a ticket. They directed me to repackage the monitor and ship it back for repair/replacement. Per MSI's customer service guidance, I was to be responsible for the shipping cost, which ended up being nearly $200. After waiting the few weeks for resolution, I received a monitor back from MSI. I quickly realized that the monitor that was shipped back to me was not the repaired original, nor was it a new replacement. Instead the display I unpackaged had been previously opened and was since refurbished. The screen on this replacement has markings along the top that I have been unsuccessful in cleaning off, but are largely unnoticeable while the display is on. On top of everything else, the "new" monitor came packaged with an open box/refurbished/pre-owned warranty notice specifying a far more restrictive warranty period (180 days).So in short, I ended up paying nearly $200 more to end up with a refurbished version of the monitor that I had bought brand new in December of 2024. If I knew that this would be my experience, I would have explored other options.

Awesome monitor for the price. Seems like MSI doesn't have all the Quality control issues that Samsung has. Very vibrant colors. Definitely bright enough. HDR looks amazing. Asks alot out of my laptop though. Only getting 33fps on AC shadows on very high quality using dlss.

The MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED is a truly remarkable monitor that delivers an incredible gaming and productivity experience. The vibrant colors, deep blacks, and 144Hz refresh rate make it perfect for immersive gaming and multitasking. The ultrawide 49-inch curved display is a game-changer for multitasking, offering ample screen real estate for multiple applications or expansive gameplay.While my initial monitor arrived with dead pixels, MSI's customer support was exceptional. They promptly troubleshot the issue and facilitated a quick replacement with Amazon, showcasing their commitment to customer satisfaction.Overall, the MSI MPG 491CQP is a stellar investment for anyone seeking top-tier performance and stunning visuals.

Going from MSI 4k 60hz Dual Monitors to the MSI 49" QD-OLED 240hz. Wanted to be able to work and or play a game centered rather than two monitor bezels dead center making me look just left or right constantly. Picture is amazing. Don't really notice a huge drop off from the 4k, like being able to look at the native resolution vs scaling. Colors are fantastic and of course the blacks are just silent providing great contrast. Feels much easier on the eyes, tons of options with monitor remote directly centered underneath making it super easy. Using the stand, which is great, but ordered the MSI monitor arm to get closer to the wall providing more desk space. Love the curve, feels immersive.
