My 15 yo son love it, he said is the best price/quality monitor

The color on this is great. Shipping had no damages, no dead pixels. For gaming? You can tell there is a big ghosting problem and that is due to the monitor being VA although nothing in the description refers to it being that. I assumed that because it was described as a gaming monitor and 1ms that it would be IPS, as that’s the standard. VA isn’t really meant to be for gaming and fast movement which is weird that they would make this for fast response even though the refresh rate has pixel dragging. Lesson learned from the experience, don’t do what I did. Unless specified in the title, or not added in the product info, assume any monitor is a VA or TN, not IPS.

Dont get me wrong; I love these monitors. Theyre very nice, they run at 2k@165hz, wonderful quality to them, and they look stunning! However, the model I got was advertised as a model with HDR, which is why I spent more on this listing than the other MSI models with the exact same specs. The listing says MSI 27” WQHD (2560 x 1440) Non-Glare HDR Ready 165Hz 1000R Curvature 1ms 16:9 AMD FreeSync Premium Height Tilt Adjustment Curved Gaming Monitor (OPTIX G272CQP) I received the OPTIX G271CQP. Not thrilled about the issue but I dont think Ill be returning them until I need to replace them. Thrilled with the quality, not thrilled with the misinformation in the listing.

Used in fast motion gaming with a RTX 3070 and it’s awesome.

One of the best monitors I have ever had. The quality and the price are perfectly balanced. Totally worth it if you are into gaming.

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.

2 of 2 ordered monitors had dead pixel(s) - one dead on monitor #1 and two dead on its replacement. I think MSI may have some quality control issues with this particular model. Unfortunately for them, this was my first time trying their monitors as I love some of their other components build quality, but alas, I wont be buying any more MSI monitors anytime soon.

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.

I got this monitor for my desk setup as I’m a software engineer and like screen space. I also play some pc games on my downtime. It works great for both. 2k looks very good and has great refresh rate. Don’t need more than 165hz when running 2k. One thing I like is that it looks very elegant. Can blend in well at a office or a gaming setup. When I bought this monitor I was worried about getting broken pixels because of other reviews talking about quality control. This would have been a big problem for me as I am looking at this screen many hours a day while working. When the monitor arrived it was the first thing I checked. 0 broken pixels. No issues. Overall I think it’s worth it.

I got this for a great deal so it was well worth keeping. Its just not what is advertised. I will take pictures and add them to this review because words dont really describe it.
