Pros and cons

According to our monitor expert

With a 180Hz refresh rate, you can play fast-paced games smoothly.
The gentle curve of the curved display lets you get fully immersed in your game.
Your monitor and video card work smoothly together thanks to FreeSync support.
You can’t see every detail clearly with Full HD quality.
To get the maximum refresh rate of 180 hertz, you can connect the monitor with DisplayPort.

Description

Choose smooth visuals while you’re gaming with the MSI MAG 242C. This monitor has a Full HD resolution. Because of this, landscapes and characters look less sharp, which is useful if you don’t care much about realistic images. The combination of a 180Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time gives you smooth action without stuttering. The curved screen wraps around your field of view, so you’re right in the middle of your game.

Review is 10 out of 10.

Definitely recommended if you don't have full pockets.

It really has the quality of a 300 euro monitor, it has really low delay and definitely feels like a bargain if you have little money
