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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The monitor has rather bad ghosting and streaks in black and dark areas.

The screen itself was good (resolution, refresh rate) and playable when gaming or watching videos. But one thing I also never mentioned in the reviews I read was that whenever you read text on a black background or play a game with a dark area, the monitor had some pretty horrible ghosting issues that make it difficult to read text while scrolling. very annoying and games with dark areas are very annoying. Everything else was fine, but the ghosting issue was enough for me to buy another monitor.

Pros
  • AMD FreeSync - Screen cracking prevention
Cons
  • Motion Blur: If the resolution is set too low, the display may appear blurry or pixelated.
