Key strengths
The supplied stand supports 130 mm height travel, swivel and portrait pivot. USB-C combines display input with up to 65 W charging for a compatible device.
MSI lists PiP/PbP and DisplayHDR 400, the panel covers 136% sRGB (CIE 1976), and USB-C carries the full 240 Hz at native resolution.
Before you buy
HDMI is limited to 144 Hz at 2560 × 1440. USB-C provides video and charging, but there is no USB data hub. PIP/PBP disables Adaptive-Sync, MPRT and HDMI CEC and is unavailable with HDR.
The panel is 8-bit + FRC rather than native 10-bit, and power comes from an external adapter.
HDMI and DisplayPort cables are listed as optional, so check the seller's box, including whether a USB-C cable is supplied.
MSI's datasheet lists 400 nits typical brightness but its V1.1 manual says 300 nits; both list a 400-nit HDR peak.
