Review on MSI Optix MAG274QRF Gaming Monitor: Adjustable, 2560X1440, 165Hz, High Dynamic Range by Bryan Delgado

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 easier to connect and disconnect cables. Now for functionality: no blurring or ghosting, amazing color range and 165Hz, plus HDR and a 1440p display. Here especially for the price. Gsync allows this monitor to stand like a gaming monitor with no vertical cracks. Its HDR can be used, but it should be noted that its HDR should not be used on content that doesn't specify an HDR mode, as it tends to wash out colors. At the same time, the colors in SDR mode are bright and accurate. The monitor's only downsides are its brightness and color. Without calibration, colors can be oversaturated and brightness too high, causing eye fatigue. In summary, this monitor exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it to anyone considering buying a monitor. The monitor performs amazingly when creating/consuming content and as a gaming monitor it is amazingly smooth. It is currently the ideal monitor on the market.
