Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Problem with an order right now? Write to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] — answered the same business day. The letter also lists our group and store owners' contacts.

The MSI MAG 242C Curved Gaming Monitor delivers immersive Full HD visuals with a 1920x1080 panel, a fast 180Hz refresh rate and a 1ms (MPRT) response time. HDR Ready capability improves contrast and shadow detail for more lifelike images. Built for competitive FPS, first-person RPG/MMORPG and flight/racing simulator genres, this curved monitor is designed to provide smooth motion and clear visuals for casual and competitive gamers.

Advantages

The monitor combines a high refresh rate and low response time to reduce motion blur and input lag. HDR Ready processing enhances dynamic range for better contrast and deeper shadows. Curved screen geometry increases immersion and reduces peripheral distortion. The MAG series construction emphasizes durability and heat dissipation to maintain stable performance during extended sessions.

Key specifications

  • Panel resolution: 1920 x 1080 (FHD)
  • Refresh rate: 180 Hz
  • Response time: 1 ms (MPRT)
  • HDR: HDR Ready
  • Design: Curved gaming monitor (MAG 242C)

How to use

Connect the monitor to your PC or console using the appropriate video cable, set the display resolution to 1920x1080 and enable the 180Hz refresh rate in your system or graphics driver settings. Activate HDR Ready if your source supports HDR content. For optimal results in fast-paced games, select the 1ms MPRT mode if available and calibrate brightness and contrast to your environment.
