hello and welcome to take it easy today we're going to be reviewing the msi AG 32 CQ gaming
monitor i'm gonna run a short clip to show you guys what it looks like and then I'll jump right
into all the specs another info for you please do excuse my quarantine haircut I'm usually
slightly more presentable than this I'm sure I'm not be anyone let's jump straight into it
okay hope you guys enjoyed that short clip I just did that so you could get a feel for
what a monster looks like and size etc now we're just gonna jump into the specs so what we've got
here is a 32 inch panel it's a free sink panel I will note I've actually got an Nvidia graphics
card and it works absolutely fine there's no tearing nothing like that it goes up to 144
Hertz depending on what display options use so if you go for a HDMI cable it says you'll get up
to 120 Hertz if you go for a display port cable you'll get for 144 Hertz it has a 1 millisecond
response rate resolution wise we're looking at 2560 by 1440 P so it's not 4k but a lot of people
including myself agree that 1440 is the sweet spot for gaming as an 1800 R curve which really helps
with game immersion and the family it's like ideal sort of setup for that color wise 85 percent NTSC
100 temps and srgb so not too bad there I do use this for productivity stuff so I do use photoshop
and whatnot and after sending some work back to my colleagues the couple of them have commented
they looked a little bit too contrasty so if that could be something to do with the monitor because
before i got this i wasn't getting those comments so i'm gonna look a little bit more into that over
to the port we've got one HDMI port one DVI port one display poor there is no audio on this and
there are no speakers so that is something to bear in mind you can mount it it's got a tilt
function which isn't the best actually it's I mean it gets you by but it's it's not the most
maneuverable thing in the world it is an LED backlit LCD monitor 215 it's brightness that
isn't that high is not it doesn't really matter as much as people think it does it sort of depends on
the environment where your mantra is sitting for me personally my office is in a sort of alcove
if you like so it's quite dark in here so this monitor is perfect for me it's absolutely fine
on top of that it is an anti glare monitor which again I've had no problems with I've agree with
that it's brilliant and it also has a blue light reduction technology so this is this monitor is
optimized to benefit your eyes to make sure you can sit in front of it for longer basically so
you can do some eight hour gaming sessions and be absolutely fine and yeah again I agree with that
it's it's worked brilliantly at my eyes don't feel strained at all well they did with my last TV so
yeah all in all really good mitre jumping into the menu it comes with five different modes expanded
movie fps art yet and I saver they all have a slightly different look fps or sharpen things
ups and obviously by title it's geared towards first-person shooters and then RTS seems to make
everything a lot more vibrant all the colours a lot more punchy which is actually quite nice eyes
you quite like playing on that when I'm not playing competitively you have the option to
turn free sync on or off you can change the aspect ratio and then you have the option for a crosshair
and it has several different options to choose from you can change between red Y and a belief you
can also change the opacity of them as well if you want them lastly do you have the options change
the response time so it's off normal or extreme options I always keep on extreme if the built-in
monitor options weren't enough that you can always download MSI display kit which is available on
that website which has a couple of nice features this split window function which I'm showing off
now that's really nice because it's quite a large monitor its really good for multitasking so I'll
just split the windows up how you want our just change it to these horizontal they're perfect
they've got some some really nice color settings again additionally more gaming ones first-person
shooter metal just change the color profiles up a bit for you it doesn't seem to carry on safety
you switched your xbox so it is just purely in the app it won't stay on and additionally you
have some options to your mouse with enough and keyboard so you've got pointer speed
double click speed and vertical scrolling I've been some shutdown power options and that's it
okay just some final thoughts on the monitor this is gonna set you back around 350 pounds
which I think for a 2k 144 Hertz panel I think it's a really really good price it's definitely
one of the better budget monitors out there and I think it's overlooked a little bit so
you don't see much about it so it's definitely worth considering and I definitely would buy it
again so that's that let me know what you guys thought of the monitor in the comment section
also this is my first video so if you guys could leave some feedback that'd be amazing also if you
could like and subscribe that really really help me out I'll hopefully see you guys in the next one
