Okay, but some annoying issues don't make it worth the price.

I really like this monitor. It's smooth, the colors are great and I didn't see the 1ms 165Hz issues that some have suggested. That said, the difficulty in detecting HDMI connections and the frequency with which there's just one random dead pixel for a while is really annoying. I would look for cheaper or worse from a more reliable brand. I'll enjoy it while I have it, but probably won't buy it again.

Comfortable ORIENTAL SETTING!

Great monitor, the best I've had and it's as good as I expected. EXCELLENT picture, ideal for gaming. I now have an advantage in PVP matches with this monitor as part of my setup. LOVE the MSi and the seller selling it to me. Delivery was as advertised spot on for the money a very happy customer!

I liked it so much that I bought a second one

Last April I finally decided to bite the bullet and upgrade my gaming/WFH desktop display. I did my usual research, which means I checked Tom's hardware first, and MSI seemed the best fit for me: QHD, high refresh rate, GSYNC, and great colors. I was not disappointed. I liked it so much that I decided to buy another one in February. For those of you interested in the behavior of two identical displays on one system, I can say that it works great. I installed a color calibration file and it was…

The perfect 1440p monitor

We've been using it for over a month now. I had absolutely no issues, the clarity and refresh rate exceeded my expectations.

I want to like it, but MSI really needs better quality control.

I had S2721DGF before, the Nano IPS technology really irritated my eyes, so I chose MAG274QRF NON QD. LG had much better colors and a much more consistent display out of the box. somehow won the display lottery, normal IPS glow, no dead pixels, no backlight glare. but I just couldn't because my eyes started watering after 15-20 minutes of use or just 5 minutes of gameplay. I've had 3 of these displays so far, all 3 had backlight issues. I'll try again because the display doesn't hurt the eyes…

Beautiful monitor is the best in my rating

This is an exceptional monitor, although msi has not yet disappointed me, it's not a QD version but I honestly don't think it's necessary, the colors are bright, the sharpness is exceptional, you have options to change your monitor sharpen, it's super fast, i play warzone and enjoy playing. I can see my opponents better and I'm really impressed. In December I bought a LG gn850 nano ips monitor and although the colors were nice the gameplay wasn't very good and when I set it to the fastest mode…

Worth the money for me

I had a hard time finding the right monitor and price for it. I've only recently started playing on PC. I have an RTX 3060 TI and a Ryzen 7 5800X. on the HZ so during my research i found this monitor and when it was on sale it was perfect. i bought it, plugged it into my computer and it had perfect image quality and colour, the lighting was amazingly even. and on top of that you get all HDMI cables, displayport etc. I would highly recommend this to anyone with an RTX 2000 to RTX 3000 graphics…

Great display, but the BIOS rarely recognizes it

I like the display of the monitor, but MSI didn't live up to expectations.1. The BIOS of MSI X299 and MSI Z590 rarely sees this monitor and directs the display to it. Most of the time I get stuck trying to blindly log in, which is where the ad finally comes up. I've never had this problem with ASUS.2 monitors. The serial numbers are not programmed into the USB port and are all the same, so it's impossible to tell which monitor is which (of course I have 4 of these monitors).

Great 1440p gaming monitor.

It has bright colors, good viewing angles. Very fast panel, good for games per second. I would recommend this model to anyone looking for a good 1440p monitor.

Worth every penny. - my new rating

The performance for the price is overwhelming for me. I expected to pay a lot more for how good this monitor really is. I would recommend this monitor to anyone who loves a good monitor for anything PC related.

Amazing monitor, better than any I have used before.

Starting from the outside, the edges are pretty thin. While there's an RGB light bar on the back, it's nothing special as not only is it positioned in such a way that the user can't see it when looking at the monitor from the front, it's also too dark to see from to be seen from there . front as the RGB doesn't shine on the walls. The tilt and height adjustment is perfect for the monitor as it is versatile. I loved seeing a nice extra feature - the addition of a twist and turn that makes it…

For less than $400, this really can't be beat. (QHD)

wow i love this screen. I'm a die-hard ASUS customer, so I have very high standards when it comes to buying electronics. The only real complaint about this screen is the brightness. My secondary TN panel is like a spotlight compared to this screen, but the contrast and color REALLY stand out when HDR is enabled. G-Sync set up with no issues and I can even check if it's working correctly by looking at the screen refresh rate (super cool). I'm 100% getting two more of these.

Great gaming monitor!

I've been using this monitor for a while and it's just great. The 144 refresh rate along with the 1ms response time is worth the price in itself, but the beauty of the HDR screen makes this an amazing all-around gaming monitor package!

Amazing monitor for gaming and the perfect size for any office job

A reliable monitor for everything you need, from office work to gaming. 165Hz makes scrolling webpages fun, and if your GPU can handle it, then so can gaming. The photo editing can be a bit rough at first, since the colors are anything but correct when delivered. Therefore, it is very important to use a colorimeter to get accurate colors when editing photos. If not, then self-optimization by eye is quite suitable. Only for that 4 stars, not 5.

Impressed! to my rating.

Very impressed with this monitor so the contrast colors and blacks are better than my last picture on the display and a lot sharper too. I wanted the qd version first but decided to try this one as qd has basically sold out everywhere this monitor is overkill. I recommend this or qd version

Beautiful straight out of the box

The colors look great. The refresh rate is cute. Minimal IPS glow, only noticeable in near total darkness on a 100% black screen. The stand is very easy to install, reliable and multifunctional. The bezel is very thin and maximizes the screen real estate compared to the size. Fairly compact, sturdy package that I'll keep for when I move. The RGB lighting on the back of the cooler is more fun than I expected, with a nice colorful background that glows in the dark from the wall behind. Robust and

Excellent display, unfortunately stuck pixels for 5 days.

Amazing picture quality, quick motion response, decent contrast, but I have to come back because a bright pixel appeared randomly near the center of the screen. I'd honestly try to live with it if it was somewhere out of the way, but I've since found that it's very distracting, especially in dark scenes, so I've packed it up and will be looking into an alternative, as that and the " QD" version contains numerous dead pixel comments.

Good monitor for my rating.

This is a good monitor, there is some backlit bleed so playing in the dark can be annoying. A month later, only one pixel died, but that's not noticeable unless you're looking.

The best monitor I've ever used!

Now that I've seen what the MSI Optix MAG274QRF gaming monitor has to offer for gamers like me, I'm going to have a hard time going back to my lower resolution Samsung monitors. If you are unsure about this and are wondering whether or not you should buy it, do yourself a favor and get it ASAP. Pros: - Wide Adobe RGB color space. Fast reaction time. Wide color spectrum of Adobe RGB. Cons: - The lack of built-in speakers doesn't make the monitor a true all-in-one solution.

As promised and really nice

Amazing product, I chose LG because I have an MSI laptop and love it. There are no dead pixels, the packaging is excellent, everything is as promised. The screen is amazing, ips glow is no problem, no backlight problems, I just like it.
