MSI G271CQP E2, 27 Gaming Monitor, 2560 x 1440 (QHD), VA, 170Hz, FreeSync Premium, HDMI, Displayport, Tilt, Swivel, Height Adjustable,Pivot

I thought it was a good value for the price, but when I received the product and set it up correctly, it was purely defective. The power button on the monitor itself was faulty, and it was never clear if the monitor was receiving any power from the power brick. Oh, did I mention that? This monitor comes with a power brick, compared to any of my other MSI monitors. At least Im getting a refund, but why couldnt I opt for a replacement if I had wanted? Just making the communication between my loan with Affirm that much more difficult. Will not be ordering this again.

Let me start off by saying that when I bought this monitor (in August 2022) the price was 200 dollars straight from Amazon; no 3rd party seller. TLDR at the bottom. Pros: - High refresh rate (good for gaming) - 1440p - Good color contrast Cons: - VA panel, this is the biggest con (movement will not look as smooth, even with the high refresh rate. Ghosting WILL occur on this monitor and it will be obvious. I will say however, that if youve never used any other monitors you may not notice the ghosting. This monitor also will flicker under specific circumstances that even Im not aware of, and is not fixable by software updates. It is a hardware issue known to occur in VA panels such as this one) - Backlight bleed is also an issue more commonly occuring with curved VA panels. (this also occurs with IPS panels) Personally this isnt as huge an issue as is the ghosting, and does not bother me one bit. Just know that the backlight bleed will only really be noticeable in dark environments. TLDR: Annoying ghosting issues. Backlight bleed. Good contrast and colors.

I love the monitor however it would be better if it supported HDR as stated in the add. I should return it for misleading me, but its still really nice and HDR is not a deal breaker. However stating that it supported it in the title influenced my purchase and that is wrong...

This was so nice when we first got it. Everything was perfect about it. Only problem is my daughter knocked it forward on the desk and it the picture was messed up. So my only issue was it didn’t take much to break it.

I’ve tried to go through settings and everything. Everything is just 144hz. Disappointed in that, will probably send back and look for another monitor

No issues since we bought it

I purchased this monitor when it was on sale, various resolution and refreshing frequency including 120 and 144 Hz are supported thus all great, no ghost effects or dead pixels at all. Fast shipping and clear installation guide.

Didn’t coke with the screws needed so it made it a hassle for me thus me giving it 4 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ but the product itself is beautiful and worth it!

Nice clear picture, no noticeable picture bleeding, no dead pixels. Its just a solid 2k monitor for a darn good price, I would definitely buy again! Also, if you are trying to decide between the cured or straight monitor, go curved, it really does feel more emersive.

Great for someone on a budget, and if you are upgrading from an older 1080p monitor capped at a 60Hz refresh rate(like me), this thing will blow your mind with how smooth everything feels while gaming. Might update this as i get more time with it, only had it about a week. Cons: No HDR, would have sucked ass anyway at this price point, doesnt bother me though. VA panel, nuff said, wish it was IPS but at the price, i can deal with it(and you should too) Included HDMI cable ... would not work with my Desktop or Laptop. I may have gotten a bad cable, but something to note. I expected it to not work with my laptop(its old AF circa 2013), but after building my new pc. it was shocking to see it also didnt work plugged into a 3070... Displayport works just fine. Pros: Price. 1500R curve is just right imo for flight sims like dcs if you only have one monitor. The on screen menu is relatively easy to operate due to the joystick input.
