High-quality Full HD gaming monitor with a curved 31.5-inch screen based on an SVA matrix with support for an ultra-fast 165Hz frame rate and AMD FreeSync technology. It features a large diagonal and screen area, large pixel (matrix pitch 0.364), excellent colour reproduction, low response time and stylish corporate design. It is positioned by the manufacturer as a product of the highest price category, aimed at professional gamers and ordinary computer gamers, recommended for use in eSports.
A full-fledged 8-bit SVA matrix with a resolution of 1920x1080 and W-LED Flicker-Free backlight provides acceptable maximum brightness (250 cd/m2), improved static contrast ratio of 3000:1, and excellent comfortable viewing angles (178°). With a low sensor response time of 1ms MPRT (Image Motion Response Time) and a high screen refresh rate (up to 165Hz), the MSI AG32C monitor is excellent at handling fast motion smoothly, which is especially important during fast-paced gaming battles. Curved screen (radius 1.8 m) reduces optical distortion caused by the large size of the diagonal, and increases the user's involvement in the gaming process. The monitor is ergonomic and does not cause excessive visual fatigue even after many hours of gaming sessions.
Once a flagship monitor at a bargain price
The MSI Optix AG32C is MSI's once-flagship monitor, which now looks especially interesting. It is built on a 32-inch VA-matrix with Full HD resolution (1920x1080 pixels) and a bend radius of 1800R. The main feature of this model was the combination of a curved panel with an increased refresh rate up to 165 Hz and a minimum response time of 1 ms. Add to this list high-quality colour reproduction (110% sRGB coverage) with competent factory calibration, and you get an excellent gaming monitor in every respect at the most reasonable price. With the only caveat that the resolution here is not 2K or 4K, but the usual Full HD. On the one hand, this is saving on the graphics card (the lower the resolution, the less the load on the video chip), on the other hand, for games on such a diagonal, we would like the pixel size to be smaller.
Truly frameless design
Additional trump cards in the sleeve of MSI Optix are a stylish design with practically no side frames, support for the AMD FreeSync feature, which is mandatory for gaming monitors, and a rather serious proprietary software package that allows you to customize the picture as much as possible, create a pack of colour profiles for games of different genres, etc. e. For fans of shooters, it may be useful to be able to display crosshairs on the screen, even if it is not in the game itself. An extremely handy thing in games like Battlefield 1, where you have to shoot from antediluvian rifles without normal optics.
Great option for low-cost gamers
In a crisis, it is no less important that retailers are asking for about $330 for all these characteristics. Considering that it was actually a $560 flagship monitor at the time of release, the MSI Optix AG32C falls into the must-have category in our opinion. For this money, he has a minimum of competitors. What is no less great, he has a minimum of shortcomings. The main one is a flimsy leg, which would look more appropriate on a 24-inch monitor, rather than such a massive colossus. VESA mounts save here, it’s not the place for the wall. The second nuance is the previously mentioned screen resolution. If that doesn't bother you, then go for it.
