Our take
I've been using the MSI Optix MAG24C for a few weeks now, and for the price, it's hard to complain. The 144 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response time deliver the smooth, responsive gameplay I expect from a gaming monitor. The curve is subtle but adds a nice sense of depth. That said, the 250 cd/m² brightness is a bit dim, especially in brighter rooms. Colors are decent but not eye-popping. The 3000:1 contrast ratio helps with blacks, though. For under $85, it's a solid budget curved option if you prioritize speed over image quality.
