This is a great screen! Highly recommended for photo and video editing.
Unfortunately, it does not support upstream data over the USB-C connection, so you have to connect a second (USB) cable to use your connected peripherals. In addition, the power supply over USB-C is too low to charge your laptop. Therefore, I would not recommend it for use with a MacBookPro or similar laptop.
The software to set the monitor (brightness, contrast, volume, ...) and the firmware to upgrade is only available for windows. So users of an apple with an M1 chip - on which you cannot install windows - have no other choice than to get a Windows PC to upgrade the 'old' firmware with which the device comes.
The monitor does not have built-in speakers. It does have a built-in DAC with audio in/out connections, so theoretically you could connect some active speakers to it.
It is a beautiful screen ideal for video editing, but it is less suitable for other applications. I wouldn't recommend it for MacBook users, especially those with an Apple Silicon chip.
Unfortunate ..

It's just that this is the only 34 inch 5k2K screen. And then one more phenomenal image quality. The front view is very beautiful. Those are 3 good reasons why you should buy this screen. And also should not hesitate to buy. The advantage of a 34k 5k2k is that you can place the screen at 50cm from your nose. So if you want to use an ultrawide on a limited desk space... this is your choice! With 169ppi you can see razor sharp right in front of your face. In my case a 39incher or a 40incher would never have worked, and I think this is true for owners of a 40incher.
However, don't expect a "spic & span" HP or Dell experience. For the rest, this is a mixed bag of weird choice of materials, weird design, weird logos, and weird stuff. Asia all the way.
Kudos to MSI for the good supporting W11 software. The OSD menu with joystick is a pleasure. Connection to Desktop (via DP) and at the same time to Laptop (USB 3.1) is a breeze. Laptop does not charge via the screen. Screen is not suitable as a dock, in other words. Which would have been nice for this price.
The hardware is a mixed bag. The technical execution of the foot, tilt / swivel is certainly OK. For example, the screen does not show the dance when I lean on my desk (that was the case with my Dells, which caused the webcam to shudder). The white material choice, I have my doubts about that. The foot is in metal, the support in metal covered with white/beige plastic. There are silver and copper tones. The round cover (connection screen and support) is made of a kind of white plastic that is less beige than the rest of the back. The white cover is beige, but a slightly lighter shade than the rest of the back. And that cover plate is a mess. For a piece of hardware that is aimed at (semi) professionals who get a kick out of the right colors... a very strange choice of material if you ask me.
Updating the firmware... I've started it. I stopped. There is an MSI Youtube channel that provides clarity (well?) here. In short: the instructions are very long (there are many steps), and they are absolutely unclear (many comments indicate additional steps). And according to some, they lead to bricked devices. So we don't.
MSI. A poco loco. But it does what it's supposed to do... deliver very good image quality.

Unfortunately mine is not working at all. Whenever I connect that to my laptop, it shows a flashing image for a fraction of a second and goes dark.
