Hey guys just a heads up this monitor will get temporary image retention if you try to do software BFI at 120hz in retroarch (useful for 60hz locked games) i got a bit scared by this at first but it went away in like 3 minutes and i followed chief blurbusters advice and ran BFI at 180hz instead and set BFI settings to 2 in retroarch and now i can play 60hz emulated games just fine without any blur :) hope this helps anyone reading this.

Can someone please update us on the steps from the YouTube video in this thread? It's private.

I can't get Native 240hz 10 bit:/

U ever try it for console gaming? Faster OD has basically the same 5% overshoot at 60hz like it is at 240hz. Basically once adjust the OD to faster, u are set for life. No need to tinker with it.

Bump of my original question to bring the convo back to the PC master race...

Any updated instruction on how to get native 10 bit color at 240hz on CRU? The YouTube video has disappeared from public view.

fLayN's post on page 19 of this thread worked fine for me

From MSI Support:
NXG253R would be compatible with Nvidia Reflex, the 251RX would not support the Nvidia Reflex function.

Can every mag251rx owner in here vote for the mag251rx on RTINGS. It would be interesting to see their test results. so far the only in depth review of the mag251rx is the one from HWUnboxed.

Hi! Can anyone tell me the minimum brightness level of this monitor? It's a very important value for me, thank you very much!
