Contrast, Sharp image, Accurate color, Quality build and styling,
No Adaptive-Sync, HDR is underwhelming, No extended color, 60 Hz max refresh rate
The MSI Optix MAG321CURV is great for general use, delivering 4K resolution, good contrast and accurate color for only $400. But for gamers, the lack of G-Sync or FreeSync and DCI-P3 may be deal-breakers...
The sweetspot for mid-high end gaming, Buttery smooth 165Hz refresh, Just 1ms response time, Wide color gamut, Good viewing angles, HDR with Rich contrast, 100x100mm VESA mount ready, Arrives with USB 3.2 ports, Colour reproduction is excellent for work,
Screen only tilts, Physical screen space 5mm from borderless bezel design
MSI aren't exactly newcomers to the monitor division, but they aren't veterans either, but on display in the MAG272XQR, we have a fantastic 27-inch monitor which boasts an assortment of features which are sure to satisfy the needs of most gamers.Operating...
The MSI Optix MAG272CQR is well balanced, offering great quality and decent features, but this monitor isn't perfect. It has some irritating design flaws and suffers from slight ghosting alongside underwhelming screen modes. Coming in slightly cheaper tha...
The MSI Optix MAG272CQR is an impressive display in several key areas. Image quality, for starters: ignore its lack of HDR ability and its poor gaming modes, and you've got a screen with stunning contrast levels, great black points and top-notch colours...

Abstract: MSI's MAG271CQR monitor was already one of the most popular 1440p 144hz monitors last year, with it's VA panel and decent overall performance, and especially good price. So, when I heard they had a new version with similar specs, with a bump in refresh ra...

Reasonable price, 2,560 x 1,440 is a good balance between quality and attainable frame rates, Great colour accuracy (excellent when calibrated), 165Hz refresh, FreeSync 2 adaptive sync, Decent level of controls for gamers, Gaming OSD 2.0 software makes co

Overall, the MSI Optix MAG272CQR is a decent upgrade over the previous MSI gaming solution, that increases the frequency range, offers greater display control, and now a USB hub. And, it's cheaper than the MAG27CQ was at launch which is unusual for new te...
Great feature set, Punchy colors and contrast, 165Hz refresh and adaptive sync
Patchy response from VA panel, Not a true HDR display
MSI's new 27-inch 165Hz 1440p panel is a great all-rounder, but its VA panel doesn't quite make for the quickest gaming monitor on the market despite claimed 1ms pixel response...
QHD resolution and 165Hz adaptive sync, Works with both FreeSync and G-Sync, Gaming OSD software comes in handy
Not the brightest, Ghosting could be off-putting to some, HDR support is basic
Choosing a gaming monitor at any price point is typically a balancing act, with users having to identify the features that matter most, while attempting to minimise the various drawbacks inherent to modern display technologies.In the sub-£500 space, M...
