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 MPG 491CQP QD-OLED is a 49-inch ultra-wide gaming monitor with a 5120 x 1440 (DQHD) 1800R curved QD-OLED panel, 144Hz refresh rate and a 0.03 ms (GtG) response time. It supports VESA ClearMR 7000 and DisplayHDR True Black 400 for vivid images and reduced motion blur, and includes OLED Care 2.0 to mitigate burn-in. Console-friendly features include HDMI 2.1 ports with 48 Gbps bandwidth, 120Hz support, VRR and ALLM. The monitor is part of MSI’s PERFORMANCE GAMING (MPG) series, combining performance-focused engineering with distinctive design elements.

Advantages

The QD-OLED panel delivers improved color conversion and deeper blacks through a blue self-emitting layer combined with a Quantum Dot layer, producing sharper images, finer details and clearer text. Extremely fast 0.03 ms GtG response minimizes motion blur for fast-paced games. OLED Care 2.0 offers pixel shift, panel protect and static screen detection to reduce the risk of image retention. The 49-inch curved ultra-wide format enhances immersion and the ergonomic placement of the 5-way joystick on the lower back improves user accessibility.

Key specifications

  • Panel: 49" QD-OLED, 1800R curved
  • Resolution: 5120 x 1440 (DQHD)
  • Refresh rate: 144 Hz
  • Response time: 0.03 ms (GtG)
  • HDR: DisplayHDR True Black 400
  • VESA certification: ClearMR 7000
  • Inputs: HDMI 2.1 (48 Gbps), supporting 120 Hz, VRR and ALLM
  • Screen care: OLED Care 2.0 (Pixel Shift, Panel Protect, Static Screen Detection)
  • Series: MSI PERFORMANCE GAMING (MPG)

How to use

Place the monitor on a stable surface or compatible VESA mount and connect to your PC or console using HDMI 2.1 for highest bandwidth features. Use the on-screen menu and the 5-way joystick located at the lower center rear to adjust brightness, color settings, refresh rate and enable OLED Care 2.0 features such as Pixel Shift or Panel Protect. For console setups, ensure the console output is set to support 120 Hz and VRR where available. Calibrate color and brightness as needed for your environment to optimize image quality and reduce eye strain.

Recommendations

To reduce the risk of OLED burn-in and prolong panel life, enable OLED Care 2.0 features, avoid prolonged static full-screen content, vary content and brightness levels, and use power-saving or sleep settings when the display is idle.
