MSI introduces the ultrawide Optix MAG342CQRV curved gaming monitor

MSI's latest addition to its monitor portfolio is a curved gaming monitor called Optix MAG342CQRV. This new monitor comes with a 34-inch UWQHD panel with outstanding contrast, wide viewing angles and numerous gaming-oriented features to level up your gameplay.

The 34-inch panel equipped in the Optix MAG342CQRV has a 3440 x 1440 resolution, 100Hz refresh rate, and 1ms (MPRT) response time. This 8-bit panel has 250nits of brightness and a contrast ratio of 3000:1. With a curvature of 1500R, the Optix MAG342CQRV has wide 178° (H)/178° (V) viewing angles and covers 89.48%/112.2% of the DCI-P3/sRGB colour gamut.

The Optix MAG342CQRV is compatible with MSI Mystic Light, meaning that you can synchronise the RGB LED circle in the back of the monitor with other Mystic Light compatible products. This monitor also features Night Vision, which brings “out the fine details in dark areas”, Adaptive Sync, to smoothen out your gaming experience by preventing screen tearing, and Anti-Flicker technology, to reduce fatigue on the user's eyes.

This monitor features a borderless design, that offers “better continuity between screens” placed side-by-side. There's a DisplayPort 1.2, an HDMI 1.4 port, an HDMI 2.0 port, and an audio-out 3.5mm jack. The stand allows the user to tilt (-5º to 20º), swivel (±30º), pivot (±5º) and adjust the monitor's height (90mm). The monitor also supports 75x75mm VESA mounting brackets.

Pricing and availability details of the MSI Optix MAG342CQRV have not been shared yet. You can learn more about this monitor HERE.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
