MSIMAG 27CQ6F 27 Inch WQHD Curved Gaming Monitor - 1500R 2560 x 1440 Rapid VA Panel, 180 Hz - 05ms (GtG, Min), Adaptive-Sync - DP 14a, HDMI 20b CEC

What an amazing monitor for the price!After years of using an office monitor, I finally mustered up the courage to buy a new gaming monitor, I knew the spec I wanted and this fit perfectly and came under budget!Response rate: the smoothest monitor I have used, i remember having an AOC 1ms 144hz TN panel but this looks and feels so much smoother!brightness & colours. So far no issues, i set up the monitor in sRGB and use HDR settings in Windows - this has given me a good result with deep colours and a satisfying look.Stand: very good quality, feels robust and monitor slides effortlessly when trying to move it whilst holding nice and steady once in position. Very easy assembly, took less than 2 minutes!Resolution & screen size: it’s a big screen, but the 1440p resolution is perfect at this size! Games and movies look crisp, especially with the refresh rate making motion smooth and visually stunning.Gaming: So I mainly play MOBA and FPS games, both requiring good refresh rates. in game settings can be synced easily and so far have found no compatibility issues with Windows and steam games.There are no speakers on this version so sound quality isn’t something that can be reviewed however with the headphone jack it might be worth trying this out in future.

Didn't want to buy a 4k monitor to go with my new PC as I was quite happy with the resolution of my old 32" QHD monitor. However, I wanted a better refresh rate and more screen real estate and this monitor seemed to tick all the boxes. It's the same height as my old 32" monitor, just a lot wider. Nice bright, vibrant colours and no dead pixels. Quick screen response and you can adjust all of the monitor settings either with the small joystick on the back of the monitor or with an app on the Windows desktop. Has a good refresh rate (155Hz) and Freesync Premium which works fine with my Nvidia graphics card. The KVM facility is very basic but not a problem for me as I use an external KVM switch box. I've been using this monitor every day for several months now without any problems. A great value monitor and highly recommended.

MSI MAG 274QRF QD E2This is an outstanding monitor by MSI.The picture quality is amazing. It's Quantum Dot technology really gives this monitor a massive coverage of all colour gamuts.It does not need calibrating out of the box as the settings are very close to being perfect. Just set Gaming to User, Professional to sRGB, Colour Temperature to Normal, response times via three overdrive profiles to Fast, and active Adaptative Sync if you have a fairly modern GPU. Then Windows settings, set display to 180hz and it's good to go.I really love the fact that its a plug and go monitor, no messing about to get a good picture.I choose this monitor due to it's Quantum Dot tech, it has a 180hz refresh rate and it's a 2560x1440 resolution.This monitor has really blown me away. I researched a lot of other monitors and this one really stood out. Hardware Unboxed (Monitors Unboxed) has a really good review of the 1st gen version. This is the second gen with a higher brightness of 400 cd/m² and a higher refresh rate of 180hz.What impressed me the most is when I'm gaming. The colours make everything look so vivid and the 180hz refresh rate and brightness make my experience move immersive.This is one of the best non OLED monitors currently on the market.The monitor, in my opinion does not have any downsides. It's priced very reasonably, and has a lot of features that true hardcore gamers would love.For me it's a really good monitor that satisfies all my needs, emails, office work, streaming and gaming.

I'll start with the positive, this monitor is fantastic. The colour saturation, refresh rate and pixel quality are all top notch. Upgrading to this has improved my gaming experience tenfold! I thoroughly recommend picking one of these up.Now for the not so positive. I purchased two of these when upgrading my setup, one arrived in perfect condition and works flawlessly, the other arrived with significant pressure marks around the outer edges of the screen causing discolouration.I started a returns procedure which was super straightforward and got a replacement delivered. Now the issue is the replacement monitor has the exact same issue (if not worse); pressure marks around the outer edges of the screen, discolouration of pixels. I have attached photos to try to illustrate this to the best of my ability (although it's difficult photographing screens). These defects are a lot more apparent in person and especially when the screen is dark.I have now had to order yet another replacement and start another returns procedure to get this issue sorted. I hope that the seller is able to deliver a non-defective monitor this time and I can finally get on with enjoying these to the fullest of their potential.

The media could not be loaded. I've been using the MSI MPG 274URF-QD monitor for a while now, and overall, it's been a fantastic experience. The display quality is top-notch, with vibrant colors and sharp details, making it perfect for gaming and productivity tasks. The high refresh rate ensures buttery-smooth gameplay, and the build quality feels premium.However, there are a couple of downsides worth mentioning. The monitor lacks built-in speakers, so you'll need external audio equipment, which might be an inconvenience for some. Additionally, while it supports AMD FreeSync Premium, it doesn't have native NVIDIA G-Sync. It is G-Sync compatible, but it might not deliver the same performance as a monitor with full G-Sync support.Overall, this monitor excels in delivering a high-quality experience, especially for gamers and creative professionals. Just keep in mind the few limitations before purchasing.
