So I went ahead and ordered this through PC-Canada, will have it Tomorrow Thur Sept 27th. Spent a total of 770Cdn for the monitor, this includes the %15 tax and environmental fee. Not sure when it is scheduled to ship through mass drop, but I can comment here if anyone likes on the quality of the monitor. I am no expert though, will be going from a 1080 24" Cheap Acer to this.

princemaxxSo far so good. AS I said I am no expert. I did run a few online tests, for example there are no dead pixels and no stuck pixel. No light bleed. I have it running on the DP connection with Freesync active at full 3880x1440 resolution. My fastest card is only a RX580 so I wont be pushing top end gaming at the highest resolution ad top frame rates any time soon. I really like the screen can't complain about anything except kinda wish it was more bezeless like there other MAG series monitors but that is just a small thing. I am not sure but I thought someone here mentioned it has vesa mounting, it does not. It has not Vertical adjustment or swivel adjustment, just tilt adjustment.

MiscoucheGuySweet! Looks nice. Hope you’re enjoying it. The MSI website does list that it supports a VESA mounting kit so I guess that’s an additional thing people will have to buy. Kinda a bummer since I wanted to mount it.

princemaxxIf the Vast 35" was simillar price I would have jumped for it over this one as it has a couple of extra features going for it, but not only is it 100usd more, the shipping to Eastern Canada was almost 100usd which would have put the price after customs fees towards $1000cdn.

MiscoucheGuy Hey I got it today, dropping a review for anyone interested. Asides from an annoying dead pixel that's forcing me to RMA it all works smoothly out of the box, easily hits the 100 fps mark with my GTX 1080 on the games I tried, and surprisingly no backlight bleed . Haven't ever tested for ghosting before, but when testing I didn't notice anything that raised my brow so to say. Setup was super easy, took 5 minutes including time playing around with the OSD to figure out the contrast I prefer. Indeed it doesn't come with a VESA adapter despite what the MSI site mentions, but the stand is good metal and personally it works fine for me, offers enough tilt. Potato quality photos from my phone, sorry.

All in all if the replacement comes with no dead pixels I'm satisfied, it's a no-BS 3440x1440 ultrawide with 100hz at the best price I could get currently.

Jest24Sorry to hear about the dead pixel, it looks to be in the lower center is that correct, that really sux. One of the first things I did was run a browser based pixel tester for stuck or dead pixels, I was fortunate I guess to see not one. I switched the default gamma on mine from 1.7 to 2.2 and lowered the brightess a bit as it was set to 90. Where did you get yours through, it can't be Massdrop as I read they are not shipping until Oct 1st

MiscoucheGuyYea lower center and it looks like a nose hair, drives my OCD crazy I constantly get the urge to wipe the screen lol. Grabbed it from Newegg, so fortunately the RMA is straightforward. It came without external packaging though, FEDex dude literally just gave me the monitor box as you would grab it from the store with no fragile stickers or anything, so I'm assuming it was possibly bumped or something. Did it come like that to you also? But yea, other than the pixel I'm liking it, very sweet deal.

Jest24Hey did you ever get your replacement, if so how did it turn out. Shipping wise for myself it was in a very large brown box, with Styrofoam corners holding the MSI box dead center.
