22" MSI IPS Monitor 100Hz D-Sub, HDMI FHD | Pro MP225V

Product Overview

The MSI PRO MP225V is a budget-friendly 22-inch Full HD monitor designed for office work, studying, and daily computing. It features a 100Hz refresh rate, offering smoother visuals compared to standard 60Hz displays, making it more comfortable for scrolling, browsing, and light content viewing.

Built with a VA panel, it provides deeper contrast levels than typical IPS panels in this range, making text and images appear clearer with better blacks. It also includes MSI EyesErgo technology, designed to reduce eye strain during long hours of use with anti-flicker and low blue light features.

With HDMI and D-Sub (VGA) ports, it supports both modern and older systems, making it a practical choice for office setups and basic home use.

Performance & Daily Use
