It's shopping season, and it doesn't get better than finding the best holiday tech deals (opens in new tab). Today the MSI Optix MAG341CQ is getting our attention as the 34-inch 21:9 gaming monitor with a 3440x1440 resolution and 100Hz refresh rate is on sale for $370 after rebate at Newegg (opens in new tab).
(opens in new tab)In our MSI Optix MAG341CQ review (opens in new tab), we already commended the value the display offered for its price, so this is just icing on the cake. The MAG341CQ shows strong build quality, and it even managed to rival a 120Hz monitor when it came to gaming performance. That's thanks to its refresh rate, 5ms (GTG) response time and FreeSync (opens in new tab). In addition, the VA (opens in new tab)display offers high contrast (3,000:1) and a decently tight 1800R curve for a more immersive experience. Although we would like to see better grayscale (opens in new tab)calibration, a darker gamma (opens in new tab)curve or perhaps audio/USB support, this is still a good deal.
