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

First monitor was defective and powered the LED once and no more. Amazon replaced it quickly and the 2nd monitor worked correctly. Very impressed by visuals and sharpness, color quality is great. Ill stick with MSI for my monitor needs.

I bought this used -very good and when i got it the screen was ruined.

This monitor is great for what it is, however the description of the monitor given by the seller is false advertisement, they claim the monitor is hdr compatible. However the monitor realistically isn’t hdr compatible. Other than that, the monitor works fine.

I was really looking forward to using this monitor and upon opening the box setting up the screen on my desk turning it on I was left disappointed because part of the screen is darker than the other half. I looked it up and it’s says my screen is broken and that I need to get a new one! How can you send out a broken screen! And now the screen won’t even turn on and says it has no signal!

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.

PROS: Things I like. +This is a beautiful monitor. The 1000R curved makes it easier on the eyes after a long day at working. I stare at a screen for 8 hours a day for work, so I wanted a curved monitor which will not add to the fatigue so this monitor helps when I want to relax for gaming. +This has a wide color gamut and high pixel density which makes a good contrast and beautiful visuals that you would normally see on a IPS panel instead of a VA Panel like this. This has better color display compared to other similar models like an Acer 1000r Curved 27 monitor. +Freesync works no problems with my rtx 3080 so no screen tearing. Now the CONS. - NOT HDR CERTIFIED: The product title can be misleading to regular consumers. HDR Ready (keyword bring Ready) means it fulfills the minimum requirements to support High Dynamic Range (HDR) but was not certified to do so (probably related to certification costs). What this means for us is HDR can be turn on for certain applications and games. For example, I can turn HDR in Battlefield 1 graphic settings which was released in 2016, but not newer games like battlefield 2042 and cannot enable HDR in the window display settings. I got this on sale for $249, however would not buy it at regular price if HDR is your requirement. - NO Monitor Joystick. This screen doesnt have a monitor Joy stick so its hard to customize the settings while only using the buttons under the screen. At this price point, I would expect at least this. - UNABLE to turn on 165hz mode manually on monitor. For whatever reason, and it could be the particular unit I recieve, I could not turn on 165hz in the monitor settings. Click on the setting only gave me to turn on location for some weird reason. I had to download the MSI display app just to enable 165hz, but it would sometimes reset to 60hz when I do that. Conclusion: Overall Im content with this monitor, however I would reccomend this only if its on sale and if you need a 1000r screen. If you dont need a curved screen, the next best monitor I would reccomend for a 27 that is HDR certified would be the LG 27GP850-B.

upgraded from 24 to 27 and it does feel bigger and looks great ,also the frame rate much faster ,the plastic feel kinda cheap behind the monitor ,beside this ,the monitor looks great

MSI greatly confused me on my hunt for a new monitor around the $300 range. They had Full HD and 2560x1440p in the same title, and they appeared to even have duplicate models on the site. I ordered this monitor early this week and was pleased to see it had actually arrived today in basically perfect condition. The monitor is identified as 165hz and it definitely feels like it. I can feel the difference between my old 1080p monitor and this 1440p panel right away. Honestly for ~300 dollars this will be the best to get. The curved display is not dramatic and is not something that will disrupt the way you compute. Looking forward to what I do with this monitor!

Picture is great and there are built in settings where I can switch back and forth between work and gaming.

Going from a 1080p 60hz monitor this is the best upgrade I could have hoped for. It was flickering black for brief moments but that was a result of the cable not all the way in, and now that’s resolved. Besides that the monitor is incredible and definitely worth what I spent.
