MSI Optix G27CQ4 Non-Glare 2560X1440P Resolution, 165Hz Curved Monitor with Blue Light Filter, Flicker-Free & Adaptive Sync Review

Great monitor with amazing color space and picture quality. The only issue it doesn't address is g-sync support. As soon as I turn it on, I get this constant flickering that makes using the displayport basically useless. I also tried different cables thinking that was the problem but it still flickers when G-Sync is enabled. Otherwise a great monitor.

Mounting brackets and brackets are straight and easy to install. Make sure you do this on a soft surface like the foam packaging it comes in or you could damage the screen. After making a solid connection to the DP port and plugging in the power cord, it turned out that the DP port couldn't see my graphics card. I can't verify if HDMI is working because menu switching doesn't work. I tried to see if completely disconnecting the DP cable and HDMI connection would cause the switch, but I still…

The color on it is great. No damage upon delivery, no dead pixels. For games? You can tell there is a big problem with ghosting and that's because the monitor is a VA, although the description doesn't say anything about it. I assumed it was IPS as that is the standard as it was described as a gaming monitor and 1ms. VA isn't really designed for gaming and fast movement, which is odd that they made it for quick response even if the refresh rate has pixel drag. Lesson learned from experience…

Let me just say that I have never written a review before. I don't think I've ever been so dissatisfied with a product that I've been tempted to write it down. However, after purchasing this monitor THREE times, only ONE of the monitors actually worked. The first monitor had a "black hole" in the screen, and it was literally moving and expanding. It is clear that it had to be returned. It was a hassle to simply return the item. The second worked fine, sometimes it wouldn't turn on automatically

I thought it was good value for money but when I received the product and set it up correctly it turned out to be completely defective. The power switch on the monitor itself was defective and it was never clear if the monitor was getting power from the power supply. Oh, did I mention that? This monitor comes with a power adapter compared to my other MSI monitors. At least I get a refund but why couldn't I choose a replacement when I wanted to? I'm just making the connection between my credit…

I got this monitor for my desktop because I'm a software engineer and I love screen space. In my free time I also play some computer games. It works great for both. 2k looks very nice and has an excellent refresh rate. Don't need more than 165hz at 2k. What I like is that it looks very elegant. Fits well in an office or gaming setup. When I bought this monitor I was concerned about dead pixels because of other reviews that talked about quality control. This would be a big problem for me since I

I love the monitor. With my RTX 3070 and 1440p, gaming becomes much more enjoyable. The higher the refresh rate, the better your performance will be. I have a lot more workspace with 1440p than with my 1080p 60Hz monitor. Also, the color and the display itself are just amazing, which is what I love most about my monitor. I'm also a big fan of MSI products as I have a laptop from them. Overall I am very satisfied with this product.

I am currently using BenQ Zowie XL27s. They are 6 years old, 1080p, 120Hz and look great. I bought this monitor because I finally got my hands on the 3080 and needed to upgrade my monitor to 2k. For the price, the specs you get on paper are amazing. The first thing I didn't like was the stand. It sits very low, there is no height adjustment at all. It's not bad, but uncomfortable. I downloaded it and immediately noticed that the image quality had deteriorated. I tried calibrating the settings…

This is a great product. I originally bought this monitor for my Xbox S Series because of its native resolution of 1440p at 120fps. And it works amazing because the only problem is VRR/Freesync, if you have variable refresh rate enabled for the monitor there is huge ghosting in the dark area. At this time, the monitor illuminates dark areas with flashes. But all you have to do to prevent this is not to use Freesync. If this is critical to you, do not purchase this product. But for all your…

Excellent resolution and color for the money but a few dead pixels around the edges. Not very noticeable, but they are there.

I've used it on my PS5, I'd like to know what settings are the best because I keep changing settings to see what's best and still don't know

I had an MSI monitor that was exactly the same size, shape and design but with a 1080p resolution when I got this one I was disappointed that it didn't have USB ports compared to the old one. I think beauty lies in simplicity. The colors on my old monitor looked a bit different than my new one, much softer and less sharp, it took a lot of effort to get the quality I liked, it was maybe a jump in resolution that made it appear that way left, but now that everything is set up I like it, paired…

What can I say? Picture quality is excellent for the price, with a smooth 165Hz frequency, plenty of color correction options, and a built-in blue light filter. Absolutely worth the price.

Bought this for my husband and he loves it, he doesn't have to wear glasses and no more headaches! Very good price, my husband is very satisfied!

MSI got me pretty confused looking for a new monitor for around $300. They had "Full HD" and "2560x1440p" in the same name, and it looks like they even have duplicate models on the site. I ordered this monitor earlier this week and was pleased to see that it arrived today in near perfect condition. The monitor is identified as 165 Hz and definitely is. I can immediately feel the difference between my old 1080p monitor and this 1440p panel. To be honest, for $300 this is the best you can get…

So far this monitor is everything I could want for my gaming rig. The video is clear and I didn't see any problems with the update.

I was really looking forward to using this monitor and when I opened the box, set the screen up on my desk and turned it on I was disappointed because part of the screen is dimmer than the other half. I looked it up and it says my screen is broken and I need to get a new one! How can I send a broken screen! And now the screen does not even turn on and does not write a signal!

I bought this monitor when it was on sale, it supports a variety of resolutions and refresh rates including 120 and 144Hz so everything is fine, no ghosting or dead pixels. Fast delivery and clear installation instructions.

I switched from a 42 inch 1080P TV to this one and the difference was bigger than I expected! No matter what game I played, I noticed an insane difference in how smoothly it ran! for you the difference between this monitor and others, you just have to see it to believe it! <3

144 Hz, slight bend, clearly visible, easy to set up. I love this monitor. Highly recommended. Poor power management features.!
