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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

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 and once calibrated, the colors are pretty damn decent. Black is better than LG, but color and sharpness aren't all there (all 3 monitors needed different types of calibration). First came backlight bleeding and ips glow, second came with ips glow, 3rd came with dead pixels, ips glow and the backlight is bleeding. Thanks to Amazon's cooperation, everything was good but annoying. MSI had potential, but quality control really needs work.

Pros
  • ‎2560x1440
Cons
  • A few little things
