The MSI MAG 325CQF is a 31.5" Wide Quad HD (2560 x 1440) curved gaming monitor with a Rapid VA panel. It delivers a 0.5 ms (GtG, Min.) response time, 180 Hz refresh rate and 178° wide viewing angles for clear visuals during fast-paced gameplay. The monitor includes AI Vision enhancement, a 16:9 aspect ratio, VESA mount compatibility and a black finish suitable for desktop setups.

Advantages

Rapid VA technology provides deep contrast (typical 3500:1) and accurate colors while maintaining a very fast 0.5 ms response to reduce motion blur. The 180 Hz refresh rate and AI Vision features improve perceived smoothness and detail in dark areas, and the reduced blue light mode helps lower eye strain during extended sessions. The curved 31.5" screen and Wide Quad HD resolution balance large viewing area with sharp image detail.

Suitable for

• Competitive and casual gaming
• Multimedia and video playback
• General productivity and office work
• Content review where color contrast and responsiveness matter
