new MSI monitor, thoughts?

hey everyone! so i just snagged the PRO MP225V and i'm pretty excited about it. i've been using a Gateway KX2703bd for ages and while it's been a trooper, the colours always felt a little, meh, y'know? plus that 60Hz refresh rate was starting to feel ancient. the MSI boasts a 100Hz refresh rate, which should be a nice bump. i know it's only a 21.4" screen with a VA panel, so it won't be blowing away something like the [TUF Gaming VG27AQ by ASUS](monitors/asus/tuf-gaming-vg27aq), but i'm hoping the colour accuracy is decent for the light photo editing i sometimes do. and honestly, the built-in speakers are a lifesaver for quick audio. anyone else have this monitor? what's your experience been? all ears here.
