But here’s the thing: I’m, at a stretch, a Monster Hunter veteran. I’ve been playing it for years and years on PSP and then on 3DS. This is the first time it’s globally made its way onto consoles, and the first time I’ve felt as though there’s been a real effort to make it appeal to the masses in the UK and the US (it is enormous in Japan). While I absolutely love Monster Hunter games, I have no idea how it’s going to go down with those new to the franchise....

Updated 21 December with video review.

It’s not the cheapest gaming panel on the market, though, with a price of £699 in the UK and $599 in the US. That figure outstrips its rivals, and it means that the MSI Optix MPG321QRF-QD must work hard to impress.

The quick explanation is that they’re boxes into which you put your phone, keys, earbuds and more.
