MSI MPG Artymis 343CQR

WHATEVER YOU decide to do, go ahead and absolutely own it. This, surely, is the philosophy behind MSI’s MPG Artymis 343CQR. This thing is hilariously curved. Specifically, it’s a 1000R panel. In other words, its arc is such that, if extended full circle, the radius would be just one meter (3.28 feet). That’s some serious bend.

Whether such an extreme curve is actually a good idea is a subjective call. Some people love curved screens. Others, not so much. Which is probably why the proportion of curved monitors on the market has subsided. Certainly, curved HDTVs were a passing fad.

Anyway, one thing we’re sure of is that curved panels make more sense on larger, wider aspect screens. Which is where the 34-inch MPG Artymis 343CQR enters the scene, with its 3440x1440 resolution 21:9 aspect ratio.
