MAG272CQR

MAG272CQR

Built with AMD FreeSync

Sync your refresh rate to your AMD GPU, to help to eliminate screen tearing or stuttering.

Enhanced 165hz Refresh Rate

MSI gaming monitors are equipped with a 165hz refresh rate + 1ms response time VA LED panel which has the most benefit in fast moving game genres such as first person shooters, fighters, racing sims, real-time strategy, and sports.

Wide Viewing Angle

By having a large viewing angle, MSI gaming monitors has more leeway for placing your monitor in your setup without giving up the optimal viewing experience. Colors and details will stay sharp at more angles compared to other monitors with less viewing angles.

Anti-Flicker Technology

Generic monitor displays normally have a flicker-rate of about 200-times per second, which is unnoticeable to the naked eye, but can cause fatigue over time. MSI Anti-Flicker technology provides a very comfortable viewing experience by reducing the amount of flicker.

Blue Light Filter

MSI gaming monitors are optimized to reduce the strain on your eyes by reducing the total amount of blue light displayed by the monitor to ensure you can game for longer periods of time without fatigue.

Curved Viewing Pleasure

MSI gaming monitors use a curved display panel that has a curvature rate of 1500R, which is the most comfortable and suitable for a wide range of applications from general computing to gaming. Curved panels also help with gameplay immersion, making you feel more connected to the entire experience.

Nothing is perfect but well balanced for the price
I bought two of these when it was on sale and worth the price! The MSI Optix MAG272CQR offers great quality and decent features, but this monitor isn't perfect like all monitors, but well balanced.Pros-Good valueImpressive core image qualitySmooth 165Hz refresh rate with AMDFreeSync 2Immersive, curved designIncludes USB-CHDR Ready2560 X 1440 QHD ResolutionDisplays beautiful colors at the resolution as advertised. Looks and feels top quality and both arrived with 0 dead pixels. I did not have to adjust any settings out of the box but you can still adjust/calibrate to your viewing and gaming preference. I didn't notice any ghosting with either monitor. The MSI Optix MAG272CQR offers great image quality without any major adjustments.If you’re in the market for a high-refresh 1440p gaming panel with strong colors and plenty of contrast, don’t want the GPU strain of a full 4K monitor, but do want something that’s a cut above the 1080p norm, this is a good choice.Cons- As mentioned in other reviews online, this Optix screen only technically offers 8-bit color reproduction. It does include dithering, which essentially tries to replicate a deeper color palate by using software to break blocks into multiple shades of the available colors.However, with a peak brightness of just 300cd/m2 and no local dimming capability, this isn’t a true HDR display. There will be a noticeable difference between this and something offering true HDR, but it will be dramatically less noticeable than a screen that doesn’t utilise dithering.You’ll also need to ensure you have a graphics card that can drive your games at up to 165fps in order to truly get the most from this screen.
