If you are in the market for an extra-large ultrawide gaming monitor, MSI has a killer deal on its only 40 inch 3440×1440 ultrawide display on sale today for Labor Day. The MSI MAG401QR has dropped to its lowest price since January, and is now just $339.99, a huge 26% off. The monitor is normally on sale for $429.99, saving you $90.
MSI’s MAG401QR sets itself apart by having a massive 40 inch display that is completely straight, providing an immersive gaming and movie-watching experience. By contrast, most other 3440×1440 ultrawide monitors are around 34 inch and have a curve. The curve is subjective, and not everyone likes curved monitors, making this monitor an ideal choice for those who prefer a flatter screen.
The MAG401QR is firmly geared towards gaming, featuring a 155Hz refresh rate and an IPS display with a 1ms response time. The display also supports 90% of the Adobe RGB color gamut, 94% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and DisplayHDR 400 for HDR gaming and video playback with a peak brightness of 400 nits.
MSI has also armed this display with a variety of I/O featuring two HDMI 2.0b ports that support the display’s native resolution at up to 100Hz, one DisplayPort 1.4a that supports the display’s native resolution and maximum refresh rate, and a Type-C port sporting DP alt functionality and 65 watts of power delivery. Finally, there’s a headphone jack for wired 3.5mm audio devices.
The MAG401QR is pretty much the only 21:9 40 inch ultrawide display on the market not priced anywhere near $1000, making this deal exceptionally good. At just $339.99, MSI’s display is priced just $50-$90 above most mid-range 34″ ultrawide monitors, and for that extra cost, you’re getting a significantly larger screen.
If you are specifically in the market for an ultrawide larger than 34 inch, that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg and maintains a 21:9 aspect ratio, this is your best option.
