Pros: Love the curved screen. High refresh rate even makes the regular desktop experience smoother, could immediately feel the difference.
Cons: Setup took some troubleshooting. At first I could not enable freesync(it was greyed out in the radeon settings), and the refresh rate was stuck at 60hz. My friend suggested to open the windows display properties, and in those menus there was the option to set the refresh rate to 144. Seems obvious in hindsight, but this is all new territory for me!
Overall Review: Current GPU is an AMD RX 470. I mainly play Blizzard titles, and I've got to say it's made Overwatch into a completely new experience. Unbelievably smooth. If I'd known high refresh+freesync made such a difference I would have jumped on board a long time ago! So far I've never been let down by an MSI product. I hope to get many years out of this monitor :).
