Competitive gaming!

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2023

The MSI NXG253R, it has been more than a year I've been using it and what i can say is that it has a clear picture, with g sync for the smoothest of gaming, paired with 360hz at 1080p, any game paired with a high end pc and a decent gpu will hit that mark easily! I've played Overwatch and CS2 with this and it has been helping me land headshots and win games, it's one of MSI's best monitors! No dead pixels or anything wrong with the monitor after a whole year. Highly recommend!

Dead and bright pixels present. Recommend Avoiding...

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2024

Dead and bright pixels were present out of the box. After contact both Amazon and MSI, neither would except the return after 30 days and would not service even while under warranty. Highly recommend avoiding this monitor and MSI as a brand since they do not stand behind their product once they have your money.

I`ve been using it for half a year for now and I`m still impressed. It`s great. Planning to get a 2nd monitor for my setup with this one (for streaming mostly). Could somebody recommend one ?

Took me some time to set it up as I have a bit of trouble figuring out the cable. I wished the cables are a bit longer. However, as I went and game with it, this monitor is a beast and I can feel the smooth and clear quality image compared to my 27-inch LG 240hz G-sync compatibility monitor. Out of the box, the color was good enough but I still went online to grab ICC profiles from reputable sources like Rtings and Tom's Hardware. I actually prefer the latter as I was told color calibration might vary from monitor to monitor, which could be related to the manufacturing date. G-sync was godsent and it was much better than my LG when I play games that could not utilize 360hz. However, upon enabling the G-Sync Processor in the OSD, I could not adjust the brightness which was a bit of a bummer but I do not mind. Anyway, I'm glad I managed to get my hands on this monitor for $200 during the Black Friday sale or I would have regretted it for sure because it is just so good!

AMAZING DIFFERENCE AND SPEED

I had a 240 hz monitor before connected to my gaming pc and this is 100 percent noticeably faster than my last monitor. Wonderful picture. You have to find the manual online. It is not as great in the ulmb mode as the picture is quite dark but it's not horrible. I would rate it 9/10 only because of the dark led in ulmb mode

I bought this monitor while on sale for a very good price and I am very pleased with performance so far! Everything is smooth from gaming to regular office tasks. Pairs very well and easily with my nivida evga 3060 ti ftw3. Brightness is plenty bright. The color representation is very good. The response time is superb! 360hz need I say more. This monitor has everything going for it! I was kind of hoping this monitor would have built in speakers but I can live with it. All In all I recommend this product by msi for purchase!

Best Monitor

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2021

This is truly one of the best monitors on the market. 360hz, 1920x1080 resolution, HDR, Nvidia Reflex and etc. Gaming on this monitor is really smooth, the colors are also vibrant and clear, HDR helps the monitor becomes more brighter and more detailed by enhancing the games graphics from SDR to HDR (High Definition Resolution).

Only works with Windows 10

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2021

Doesn't work with Windows 7. As for performance; your either better or worse. Depending on your PC settings if your running an RTX on Win 10 getting 300 - 400fps; you may get all the benefits with this monitor. But if it's a mid-range GPU with regardless of :OS you may not play any better than those who already own one of these while in multiplayer: say 240hz-360hz. I played Rainbow Six Siege player v. player with this monitor, and after going from a 240hz to 360hz in the beginning goes from scoring 8 to 9 kills a match to leveling off as a 3rd rate average player weeks later. (This doesn't in turn state that this is a bad monitor) with the GTX 1660 super only get an average 144fps in-game with monitors G-sync almost no frozen screen. But at the end of the day it'll look more like a 144hz. Not bad for a PC running 10 year old hardware.

PS Just failed Windows 10. Gets same infinite swirl trying to load windows 10 as Win 7. Plugged in old Dell flat panel and Win 7 works again. Bad Panel from MSI?

Now it doesn't work at all! Turns out Win 7 only work for 240Hz with HDMI cable; but no Displayport cable.

To get 360Hz Displayport cable is needed; provided you have Win 10 or above installed. Unsure of 8 or 9.
Newer games on steam require or at least recommend Win 10 as the gold standard for next-gen software.

It was great while it lasted. May I'll rewrite this after I get a new computer with all the highest performing hardware.

Broke 2 months later

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2023

Monitor was great while it was working bought it in the beginning of February and here we are mid April and now no matter what I do the screen looks like the image above. I have tried different cables, updating drivers and everything setting possible but nothing has worked. Considering how much this thing cost I'm pretty pissed that it's already having issues.

Updating this a little bit I figured out that the issue was with the power cable. Still really irritated that I have only had this thing a couple months and am having issues with it.
