Review on πŸ–₯️ MSI Optix G27C Non-Glare LED Curved Monitor - Wide Screen 1920x1080P by Marc Hall

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Do not buy! UPDATE: Don't buy #2!

UPDATE: Finally got an RMA back from MSI that cost me $51 via UPS. MSI had a quick turnaround time and I received a replacement in about 10 days. The packing list said "replace panel". Plugged it in and it seems to be working great. Using a 144hz DP cable, I tried playing Rainbow 6 Siege last night. The blue haze is worse than before the RMAd. At the moment I have it connected with a 120Hz HDMI cable, so let's see how it works. It's a shame because I really like this monitor, but since I can't take full advantage of it, I can't recommend it. If MSI doesn't pay for shipping, I won't send it back. It's just too expensive. And yes, I've tried all the workarounds posted here by MSI. no work. The last thing I'm going to try is running it at 60Hz, which means I'll be looking for a new monitor, not an MSI. By the way: My system, WIn 10, GTX 1070, 16 GB RAM, etc. Very bad blue haze and is getting worse. Past return date.

Pros
  • Wide screen with LED backlight
Cons
  • Poor color accuracy and brightness compared to other monitors.
