There are no half-measures when it comes to the MSI MPG Artymis 343CQR. It’s a top-of-the-line 34-inch ultrawide screen, complete with a crisp 3,440 x 1,440-pixel resolution and 165Hz refresh rate to boot. The sprawling 21:9 aspect ratio wraps around you with a tight 1000R curvature, putting it on par with the aggressive curvatures on Samsung’s Odyssey monitors.
It supports a good range of tilt, swivel, and height adjustments as well, and I had no issues getting it to the right position to suit me.
The MSI MPG Artymis 343CQR also has a DisplayHDR 400 certification and a peak brightness of 550 nits that comfortably exceeds the latter specification, in addition to a 1ms MPRT and 3,000:1 contrast ratio. The VA panel can help circumvent the problem of IPS glow, and you get the deep, inky blacks that the technology is known for, despite the lack of local dimming.

In a word, this monitor pops. Colours leap offthe screen right out of the box, and the wondrous world of It Takes Two is brought to life with punchy hues. From the explosion of colours in the Road to the Magic Castle to the moody hues of the Gates of Time, every stage looks absolutely incredible as I worked to get May out of her wooden doll figurine and back into her body.
