Amazing screen! in my view

Easy to build, great refresh rate even at 1440p and works perfectly with any of the new Xbox or high end gaming PCs. ‎Optix G27CQ4!

I love this monitor!: my review

A good clear picture, no noticeable streaks of the picture, no dead pixels. This is just a good 2k monitor for a hell of a price, I will definitely be buying it again! If you want to choose between a hardened monitor or a straight monitor, go for the curved monitor, it seems more exciting.

Looking good if they can fix quality control issues

2 of 2 monitors ordered had dead pixels - one dead on monitor #1 and two dead when it was replaced. I think MSI might have some quality control issues on this particular model. Unfortunately this was my first time trying out their monitors as I love the build quality of some of their other components but unfortunately I won't be buying MSI monitors anytime soon.

This is a Quad Core HD monitor, not Full HD 1440p 165Hz.

Great monitor for the price. I was able to get this monitor for less than I paid for my 1080p 144Hz less than a year ago. The only downside I found was the lack of a height adjustable stand, but I was able to remove and attach another stand. for now

Do not install a monitor when playing FPS or other fast-paced games

I wanted to get a monitor to go with my Dell S2716dg as I can't find it anywhere else. I bought this from Best Buy and I mean it looks great when you're watching videos (in general) or photos and playing strategy games. The stand is very light and looks like it's about to fall apart. Playing Rocket League was terrible compared to a regular TN monitor. The motion blur was terrible. Imagine playing a game with VA monitors and normally motion blur is turned off except your monitor always leaves it

Came a defective monitor, does not even start.

The monitor does not start. No external power issues - tested, internal parts issues. I am an international buyer and it is not easy for me to return the monitor for a replacement. Although I took that risk when I bought it. Anyway, bad experience, will never buy Revain MSI products. So far, there have been no problems with MSI when buying from other providers.

Buy from the store listed in my review.

I think because it's bent it's not the best item to ship. After receiving a broken item and doing some research, I found that many people receive a broken LCD screen straight away. This particular monitor was recommended to me by a friend. It's great photo quality and I fell in love with it, I was so excited to receive mine only to crack it open.

Not as expected: my rating

Not what I expected. Lots of screen tearing. This is a 1440p monitor so the photos look amazing. Even with Response Time enabled and V-Sync on and off, we still experience blur and ghosting. Not very impressed.

  • Poor image quality and resolution.

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…

Excellent after I made my exchange

Overall a very good monitor for the price with resolution and response time. I have 2 of these for a very good setup. The only downside was that one of them came with a few dead pixels which Revain immediately sent me a replacement and took care of everything. Would buy again.

You get what you pay for

If this monitor seems cheap for a 1440p monitor, that's because it is. I have maybe 5 months on my monitor and I already have a dead pixel line running across the top of my screen. If you want a great 1440p monitor that will last you have to pay a good price. Not to mention that all ports are on the bottom, not in the back. You have to turn this thing completely on its head to connect the new cables, and it's a major pain in the neck, especially when you've already attached the stand. I…

Only 144 Hz is the best in my rating

Tried going into settings and such. All only 144hz. Disappointed with this I'll probably send it back and look for another monitor

It has a lot of halos and handles contrast rather inefficiently.

I got it for a great price so it was worth keeping. It's just not what is advertised. I will take photos and add them to this review because words cannot describe it.

The best monitor - my new test

This is the best monitor I've ever had. I still play console but it's so cool and when I have enough money I'll buy a computer but it's a great monitor.
