Panel and Image Specifications
The 23.6-inch VA panel combines 1920 × 1080 resolution with 250 cd/m² brightness and a 3000:1 contrast ratio. MSI lists 91% Adobe RGB, 89% DCI-P3 and 113% sRGB using the CIE1976 standard. Compare these published figures alongside the 1500R curved screen format when choosing a display for gaming, video and everyday desktop tasks.
Refresh Rate and Response
The specified response time is 1 ms MPRT. DisplayPort overclocking provides Full HD at up to 170 Hz, while HDMI supports Full HD at up to 165 Hz. Match the cable and source capability to the input you choose, then verify the active resolution and refresh rate in the system display settings before adjusting the game.
Compatible Display Modes
AMD FreeSync Premium provides a variable-refresh option with compatible hardware. The 1500R curved screen and published 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles give further reference points when planning its position. Configure the supported modes around the source you connect, checking the available graphics and monitor settings together. Use the resolution and refresh combination that fits the games and applications sharing your screen.
Video and Audio Connections
One DisplayPort 1.2a input and two HDMI 2.0b inputs provide the video connections. An earphone output adds an audio connection for a compatible headset or external audio arrangement. Several video inputs let you keep more than one source connected. Check each port’s supported signal mode before assigning the main gaming system and any secondary device to the available connections.
Stand and Mounting
The stand provides tilt adjustment from -5° to +20° around the compact curved screen. A 75 × 75 mm VESA pattern provides an alternative with a suitable mount. MSI lists approximately 3.3 kg with the stand and 2.55 kg without it. Compare the mounting pattern, load requirement and published dimensions when planning an arm or arranging the available desk space.
Controls for Everyday Setup
Night Vision provides a picture adjustment for darker areas. The monitor specifications also list an anti-glare surface and frameless design, giving you concrete display features to compare with the available space around your desk. Begin with the available picture settings and adjust them for your room lighting and usual activities. Revisit brightness and game preferences as you change between gaming, video and everyday desktop work on the same screen.
