Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

As a gaming monitor, it's stunningly fluid. Most monitors are garbage nowadays, so you might have to buy a couple and keep the best of the worst. As for the msi monitor itself, i plan to use it as my main screen which will substitute the lg monitor i ...  Read More

There's no smearing or ghosting. The 144 refresh rate along with the 1ms response rate is already worth the price.

Some users complain about colors being oversaturated before calibration. They look just fine to me with no calibration.

I wish msi or amazon can handle the shipping and packaging more carefully next time. Loving it. Definitely do not regret this purchase.

The monitor also has great adjustability. Some monitors only have tilt/swivel, but i really wanted height adjustment. The stand is also quite a reasonable footprint for a monitor of this size.



Cons

There is terrible amounts of ghosting and black smearing on this monitor and no amount of settings will fix it. Dead pixel nearly in the center of the screen.

Quality


Setting up this monitor was a breeze and the picture quality is amazing.


The color quality is amazing, and even though it can appear oversaturated, i think it makes the color very pretty and it isn't ...  Read More

It came in with the panel already broken, along with dead pixels.

Price


The performance for the price is simple mind blowing to me.


Sure , $1500 - $2500 monitors from lg or acer are better, but this one is pretty close when it comes to image quality and gamin...  Read More

Shipping


It is fast, responsive and has an insane color range.


Gigabyte's monitor also had this option, but it did not work as well, was slow and felt very clunky.


I wish msi or amazon can handle the shipping and packaging more carefully next time.


I'll also say i was able to get this with one day shipping where as the m27q was going to take 8 days on amazon.

Packaging/appearance


I had 3 monitors from amazon, 2 lgs and 1 benqs, and all of them are good with shipping even if there are some scratches/cracks...  Read More


The msi gaming osd is easy to use to modify the screen without having to use physical buttons on the screen.


The only caveat is that there is no control for the led light on the back of the screen.


Yes, when snapping windows to each of the halves of the screen, you kind of get two 4:3 windows, but it will work.

Competitiveness


I would highly recommend purchasing this monitor especially if you want a high grad g-sync compatible monitor.


Even though the msi is only gsync compatible, it performs flawless, just as if it has the actual gsync module.


Assuming you're looking for a 1440p165hz 27in.


My other monitor is a 144hz 1080p hp25mx.

    My model didnt come with any faults such as dead pixels or defects


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I thought id use it but decided the extra vibrancy from the unclamped 131 srgb coverage looks better


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Just dont expect the rgb lighting on the back to light up the wall behind it because its pretty faint


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You need a beefy gpu to run this to get the most out of it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There are lots of guides out there about calibration
