Key strengths
The stand tilts, swivels ±45°, pivots ±90° into portrait and offers 130 mm of height travel.
USB-C with 65 W charging, two USB-A ports and KVM switching between the USB-B and USB-C hosts let two computers share one keyboard and mouse, and firmware can be updated over USB.
Before you buy
HDMI is limited to 144 Hz at 2560 × 1440. MPRT can't run with Adaptive-Sync, and HDR disables PIP/PBP, so these modes can't be combined.
MSI's datasheet lists 98% DCI-P3 but its manual lists 95%, so check the listing if colour coverage matters. The HDMI 2.0b inputs accept 2160p only at 30/60 Hz.
The USB hub is USB 2.0 only (two Type-A ports and a Type-B upstream port), and the monitor runs from an external 120 W power adapter rather than a built-in supply.
Every specification. With its source.

At 2560 × 1440 through DisplayPort or USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode; HDMI maximum 144 Hz. Compatible source, cable and mode required.
- Response method and claim
- 1 ms GtG
- Declared MPRT response
- 1 ms
MPRT figure for the blur-reduction mode, which can't run together with Adaptive-Sync.
Source - Adaptive sync
- Yes
Adaptive-Sync disables MPRT and PIP/PBP and sets 1:1 size to Auto; a compatible source, driver and mode are required.
- Named adaptive-sync technology
- AMD FreeSyncSource
- Native-resolution input limits
- DisplayPort and USB-C DP Alt Mode: 2560 × 1440 up to 180 Hz; HDMI: 2560 × 1440 up to 144 Hz
Compatible source/cable/mode required. PBP separately accepts 1280 × 1440 at 60 Hz per input.
- Maximum HDMI refresh at native resolution
- 144 Hz
- Maximum USB-C refresh at native resolution
- 180 Hz
At native WQHD with DP Alt Mode source/cable.
- Motion-blur reduction mode
- Yes
MPRT requires refresh above 85 Hz; locks Response Time/Brightness, disables Adaptive-Sync, HDCR and PIP/PBP and sets 1:1 to Auto. HDR disables the setting.

- Built-in KVM
- Yes
Auto switches USB input; Upstream and Type C can be selected as fixed USB sources. Compatible upstream connection required.
- Picture-in-picture / picture-by-picture
- Yes
HDR disables PIP/PBP. PIP/PBP locks response-time adjustment, disables MPRT and Adaptive-Sync, disables/locks HDMI CEC and constrains screen-size modes. PBP input is 1280 × 1440 at 60 Hz.
- HDMI CEC
- Yes
The first HDMI connector supports CEC. A CEC device can wake the monitor, and turning the monitor off can put the device into power saving. PIP/PBP disables CEC.
Source - Accepted console/video input modes
- 1080p at 60/120 Hz; 2160p at 30/60 Hz over HDMI
Accepted input timings with a compatible source and cable; the panel itself is 2560 × 1440.
