Ideal for Gaming PC/Laptop

I've been looking for a gaming monitor for my new gaming PC for weeks. If you have an NVIDIA compatible GPU, this monitor has G_SYNC. It works great together. The price of 229.00 was good and the quality and features available make it a great choice for your gaming PC. I highly recommend it.

Dead pixel in line of sight

I set everything up just to spot a dead pixel 🤦‍♂️ However, the image seems nice and the colors are good. At $230 from a reputable brand, although I'm very disappointed.

This is the best monitor I've ever had. It does everything perfectly when paired with my MSI laptop.

The build quality of the monitor is excellent. It feels like a pro and has very nice graphics, whether it's gaming, which is what I do most of the time, or movies and other things like programming. It works like a beast along with my MSI laptop. Great MSI products!

Good picture on a budget

Very well packaged and set up very quickly. There's a decent RGB strip on the back if that's that sort of thing you're into. Super fast response speed, less than 1ms when I tested it. Happy with the purchase.

Have this 27" MSI monitor alongside the new 32" 4k monitor from MSI and am happy with the quality, price and most importantly the brightness of the 27" monitor. Worth your money. It doesn't have HDMI 2.1 or dp 1.4a like the 32", but I was aware of that before ordering and for my purposes it was unnecessary anyway. cables included), which is too short for a floor-standing case (the 32-inch monitor also only comes with 4-foot cables).

Wow, my eyes are grateful

What a great monitor at a great price. Plugged in and immediately changed the use of the computer. I edit astro photos and the screen sharpness is perfect. The size is way better than my 17 inch Alienware monitor and the resolution is perfect for my needs. Delivered quickly and safely.
