Taiwanese giant MSI has never had much weight in the monitor market, focus its influence on video cards, motherboards and laptops for video game fans. But the more popular and accessible gaming peripherals became, the more the company's expansion into other markets expanded. It took only 5 years for the company to earn weight and take a prominent place under the sun. As a result, MSI Optix monitors consistently rank among the top sellers of gaming peripherals and are regularly featured in all sorts of top video game monitor selections.


The secret to the success of the series lies in the combination of several factors. Firstly, it was one of the first stylish and bezel-less entry-level monitors. Secondly, the Optix always has everything that a simple gamer needs (FreeSync, high hertz, etc.) on board. Thanks to this, the company's monitors have earned a serious reputation among buyers: buying one, you are unlikely to have a reason to feel cheated. Thirdly, MSI was one of the first companies to take colour reproduction seriously, even in low-cost panels. As a result, series monitors can be recommended not only for games, but also for basic photo processing, editing and other work with visual content.

Other advantages of the Optix series include an interesting design that combines boldness and restraint at the same time, reminiscent of the best examples of office and gaming monitors. The system features of the Optix line most often include support for AMD FreeSync, HDR, and some purely gaming features like a fixed crosshair or Night Vision mode. Additional equipment may include a USB hub with USB-C. As for the model range, sales are dominated by IPS panels with a diagonal of 24 – 27". Less common on the market are large 30 – 34-inch VA monitors.
