gave up on local mini led market since early last year
the only models they released in malaysia late 2023 was the titan army 32" and the redmagic 27", all 1152 zones. were selling upwards of 4k as well. there was also an asus model which sold for a stupid price
then there were promises by other brands such as asrock and hp releasing models for 32" 4K with 1152 zones. turned out they are vaporware

mini led on monitor really no hope dy

anyone done MSI monitor rma before?

I had a similar issue to this
https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/...razy_artifacts/

barely 1 year old since purchase.

Don't even bother try fill the online web form. you will get errors
https://www.reddit.com/r/MSI_Gaming/comment...nding_web_form/

even the live chat is only for US customers only.

and the contact for msi malaysia ask u to click, after which that also errors.
The only thing that worked was calling the malaysia service center number. And you only can get the email AFTER you phone them. So it's not like there isn't an email, just they don't properly list it.

Then during calls session, i explained the issue. The fella was like, did you check other cable. And did you try on a different machine. basically pointless questions, because he and i both know it's the monitor that is faulty since it's a common issue as posted on social media. So all that is doing is stalling. But i sus he realized i knew i was talking about so he stopped beating around the bush and proceeded with my rma request.

i sent screenshot and video as proof. I sus they get many such requests so seems like he just okayed it afaik.

So here is the million dollar question. Who pays for shipping? cause on social media u got many scary msi rma experience, one of which is the buyer has to cover the shipping themselves.

But actually for Malaysia that's not the case. I asked and he said msi will cover collection and delivery at no cost to the buyer. So that is one worry off my mind.

I don't know are they going to straight up replace or repair. But it's a 3 year warranty, and it's already the 1st year.
I can't say yet whether malaysia msi monitor rma is good or not since not yet completed, but i'll report back here.

But this was my first msi monitor. It's a MAG 274QRF QD E2

I enjoyed the monitor but it was dying within this past week or so (maybe earlier but i didn't notice till now when it became very obvious).

my previous Dell and Hp monitors lasted many years before they started acting weird. So i'm disappointing with MSI for how long it lasted. The only saving grace i didn't spend too much on this. But it will make me reluctant to get another msi even if their rma was rock solid. How can it only last 1 year? and online i saw this is a common occurrence.

Anyone else experience this with msi monitor? Mine is a 2023 model fyi
PS: how is rma for asus and gigabyte monitor in malaysia? is it reliable? 
So while trying to figure out the rma i was checking out other monitors.

This was a nice oled monitor by gigabyte

But then i read here to wait for the upcoming model
https://www.reddit.com/r/OLED_Gaming/commen...igabyte_mo27q2/

another cheaper oled (its still expensive. but cheaper as in relative to the other oled offerings currently)

was this AOC

But it has some cons. So i thought the gigabyte was better 

If you don't want to pay 2-3k, then you have to look at ips monitor for 27'' 1440p

how old is yours? i bought mine in 2024, so is 1 year old. i check the label says manufactured 2023.

Maybe i just got unlucky 

Nice sig quote by the way. i'll try not to be too sad. things seem to be moving in a positive direction at least so far. I can save my money and not buy an oled monitor. Prices for oleds have been falling. they quoted oled was 1k usd last time, now is like 400-500 usd. So prices for oled are coming down, and probably more in the following years. So i rather make do with this ips and wait for those prices to come down more.

most seem to be fixated on 4k, but for 4k monitor usually u need the highest end graphics card and a good cpu to match it to push the fps for 4k gaming especially. for me, 1440p 27'' is just fine, that's what i usually buy these days. Free sync cause i use and amd graphics card rx7800xt
