MAG 27CQ6F 27 Inch WQHD Curved Gaming Monitor - 1500R 2560 x 1440 Rapid VA Panel, 180 Hz - 05ms (GtG, Min), Adaptive-Sync - DP 14a, HDMI 20b CEC

Amazing monitor, not too pricey either, not as good as 4k UHD in same model series but it excels in the quality it puts out, the curved screen adds the perfect amount of immersion, it has great picture even at 1440, solid refresh rate with little to no drops in FPS, perfect for competitive games, could not recommend more, purchased on sale but would’ve been just as happy paying full price, solid 8/10 simply for resolution

Didn't want to buy a 4k monitor to go with my new PC as I was quite happy with the resolution of my old 32" QHD monitor. However, I wanted a better refresh rate and more screen real estate and this monitor seemed to tick all the boxes. It's the same height as my old 32" monitor, just a lot wider. Nice bright, vibrant colours and no dead pixels. Quick screen response and you can adjust all of the monitor settings either with the small joystick on the back of the monitor or with an app on the Windows desktop. Has a good refresh rate (155Hz) and Freesync Premium which works fine with my Nvidia graphics card. The KVM facility is very basic but not a problem for me as I use an external KVM switch box. I've been using this monitor every day for several months now without any problems. A great value monitor and highly recommended.

It really is difficult to describe in this review how much the limiting factor in understanding how good this monitor is is my phone's low quality camera. When I first booted this thing up, after coming from a 60z 4k non-HDR display, I literally felt like those shrimps that see all those colors. It felt like my eyes were working better, somehow. I work from home part time off a Mac and I'm happy to report that the KVM functionality works well too. This is a great monitor for the price. When it goes fully white, it genuinely hurts to look at. Bloom is there but only really noticable against large swaths of black. I found the monitor's default HDR color to skew a little strongly red, but that's an easy adjustment. Content made for HDR, like Final Fantasy XVI, goes hard on this monitor. My panel personally has no defects and I'd honestly think the majority of panels are fine, despite reviews. Super satisfied with this purchase.

MSI MAG 27CQ6F 27 Inch WQHD Curved Gaming Monitor Review TL;DR Happy to recommend this monitor, great price to performance. Works well for a wide range of games: high frame rates for competitive shooters while triple A RPGs look beautiful at ultra settings. Box includes displayport 1.4 cable. There’s room for improvement, the monitor struggles to display details in shadows and this isn’t improved by HDR which has been implemented quite poorly. I’d also recommend replacing the stock stand with a proper monitor arm. However it is otherwise quite good: it is very bright with surprisingly good colour reproduction and minimal ghosting. Overall it is a decent monitor compared to others in this price bracket, if you can catch this on sale I’d definitely recommend buying it. Background: I was previously using a 1080p/60hz IPS office monitor despite having a fairly high end system so needed to upgrade. Got this on prime deals day for £170 (I’ve seen it go as low as £140 over the Black Friday week). Why I chose this monitor: I play a fair mix of games, from competitive shooters such as r6 siege and CoD, to AAA solo games such as Cyberpunk and RDR2. Therefore I wanted a 1440p monitor with a decent refresh rate so I could get high frames per second for online multiplayer, while also making single player games look pretty running at a lower refresh rate with graphics settings set to ultra. I decided to go with a VA panel as I’ve never been satisfied with the contrast on IPS. Ultimately I chose monitor this as it was the cheapest option that fit these criteria at the time. Out of the box: It was packaged nicely, well protected and obvious where everything went. Included was the monitor, a stand with a cable management clip, a power cord, and a display port cable that is capable of running the monitor at the max resolution and frame rate. The included display port cable wasn’t quite long enough for me so I bought another (make sure it supports DP1.4, I’d advise against running this over an HDMI cable as you will be limited to refresh rates up to 144hz, as opposed to the full 180hz. The instructions also fail to mention that you should download the monitor specific drivers from MSI’s website - I definitely recommend doing this, it’s a small improvement but a noticeable one. Assembly was very easy, I would still recommend reading the instructions but super intuitive and took very little effort. Design and build quality: The build quality is perfectly good for this price point - it doesn’t feel super premium but nor does it feel cheap. The design isn’t perfect but again is forgivable for the price. The stand on the 27CQ6F isn’t great and offers very little adjustability: you can angle it up or down and that’s it, no left/right or height adjustments can be made. I stacked it on some books to get it to the right height. It has standard VESA mounts on the back so after a couple of weeks I removed the stand and attached it to a monitor arm - I would highly recommend investing in one of these, a massive improvement over the stock stand. Alternatively MSI does sell the 27CQ6PF which is an identical panel (they share the same instruction manual) with an improved stand: I haven’t tried it but honestly I’d l recommend spending less on this cheaper model and using the money you save to buy a proper monitor arm - they free up a lot of desk space and are capable of a much wider range of adjustments. It also doesn’t have any inbuilt speakers, doesn’t bother me as these never sound good but something to bear in mind. Image quality: VA panels such as this one are generally considered to be better than IPS panels for contrast while being weaker when it comes to colour reproduction, viewing angles, and response times. After trying this I was surprised, I was expecting a much bigger difference, both good and bad. I went with VA as I wanted better contrast, and that’s where this monitor disappointed me the most. There is definitely a modest improvement in some images, however like my old IPS panel it still suffers from “black crushing” in shadows, where entire sections of very dark scenes become a large indistinguishable blob. This monitor advertises a contrast ratio of 5000:1, compared to my old monitor’s ratio of 1000:1. Although there is definitely a small improvement in contrast and shadow details, for such a big difference in advertised specs I must say I expected more. This monitor also has HDR (HDCR as MSI calls it) which should theoretically improve the detail in dark images, I’ve tried enabling it and in some scenes it does work, however it makes other scenes a lot worse to the point where some games are unplayable so I mostly just leave it off. I was slightly worried about colour reproduction but this has surprisingly turned out to be an improvement over my previous (admittedly low quality) IPS panel: maybe other monitors in this price bracket would perform better but the picture on this monitor is vibrant with good colour accuracy. I’ve tried out the inbuilt “profiles” and frankly they are all worse than the stock “user” profile which I use for just about everything. No problems with viewing angles either, the colour and brightness around the edges seems to be just as good. This is possibly helped by the curved screen, not sure how much of an improvement it really is but I do quite like it (this is my first curved screen, might be a placebo it does feel easier on the eyes). Haven’t had any issue with response times, I’ve run a few tests for ghosting and motion blur and it’s been minimal, not really noticeable in game. It has adaptive sync that is very effective at preventing tearing, pretty much never see it. It also has a dedicated MPRT mode that further reduces motion blur by turning off the backlight between frames, it offers a very slight improvement for competitive shooters but I can’t really tell the difference in most games. Enabling this disables adaptive sync so to avoid tearing you’ll need to adjust your graphics settings so your frame rate reliably matches your refresh rate (for some games I also slightly lower the monitor refresh rate in windows settings). Because it makes the backlight flicker it also slightly dims the screen but this is only noticeably if you are in a very bright room, it also disables HDR but I don’t use that anyway. Features: The inbuilt software on the monitor is a mixed bag. Some of the features can improve image quality, some do nothing, and a few seem to make it a little bit worse. The “AI vision” feature is supposed to optimise contrast and background brightness, it sometimes looks good but is a bit inconsistent and doesn’t do anything for the crushed blacks so I generally leave it off. The “Night Vision” feature adjusts the background brightness of the screen, this actually works quite well, I usually keep it set to “AI” (this is just marketing spiel for what used to be called “auto”) as the fixed settings tend to go too far in some images and not far enough in others. The image enhancement setting works ok, I keep it at weak to medium. It also has a low blue light mode, it’s not quite as gentle as some others I’ve tried but it’s still a nice touch for when I use the monitor for work. While you are downloading the drivers from MSI’s website, I’d also suggest trying out their display kit software. Although it doesn’t let you control the full range of features it is a lot easier than navigating the inbuilt on-screen display (OSD) with the little joystick on the back of the monitor. I don’t really use it but it might work for you.

Very nice monitor! 1440 p , 27 inch with 240 hz with nice clarity and colours out of the box. I found it on sale for about 160£ , best value for money!!!

Great monitor, as advertised. The monitor legs are quiet large and take up a bit of space. Sturdy enough but doesnt have any brackets and is pretty light. Bright enough to be seen at all times during the day and good for mid range gaming, would recommend.

ALLES SUPER GELAUFEN

Absolute beast of a monitor for its price great quality only con the small gap between the monitor and the screen

Genial,Muy Recomendado.Solo q el enchufe no es europeo si no Americano hay q comprar un adaptador

Ich habe mir den MSI MAG 275QF 27 Zoll WQHD Gaming Monitor zugelegt und bin absolut begeistert! Der Monitor liefert eine fantastische Bildqualität mit einer WQHD-Auflösung von 2560 x 1440, die jedes Detail gestochen scharf darstellt. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich das Rapid IPS Panel, das eine unglaublich schnelle Reaktionszeit und lebendige Farben bietet – ideal für Gaming und anspruchsvolle Anwendungen. Der Monitor bietet eine sehr hohe Bildwiederholrate von 180 Hz, was für flüssige, ruckelfreie Bilder sorgt, selbst bei schnellen Action-Szenen in Spielen. Das macht sich vor allem bei schnellen Shootern oder Rennspielen bemerkbar, wo jeder Millisekunde zählt. Zudem ist die Adaptive Sync-Technologie integriert, die für eine flimmerfreie und noch flüssigere Darstellung sorgt, was das Spielerlebnis auf ein neues Level hebt. Das Design des Monitors ist ebenfalls sehr ansprechend. Die dünnen Ränder und der elegante Standfuß machen den Monitor nicht nur funktional, sondern auch optisch zu einem Highlight in meiner Gaming-Ecke. Die Ergonomie lässt keine Wünsche offen – der Bildschirm lässt sich einfach in Höhe und Neigung anpassen, sodass ich immer die perfekte Position finde. Die Helligkeit und Farbtreue sind hervorragend, was ihn auch für kreative Arbeiten wie Bildbearbeitung oder Videobearbeitung geeignet macht. Und die Anti-Glare-Beschichtung sorgt dafür, dass Reflexionen minimiert werden, was besonders bei hellen Umgebungen von Vorteil ist. Alles in allem bin ich mit dem MSI MAG 275QF mehr als zufrieden. Der Monitor bietet einen großartigen Mix aus Bildqualität, Performance und Design. Für alle Gamer und Kreativen, die auf der Suche nach einem leistungsstarken, aber gleichzeitig eleganten Monitor sind, kann ich dieses Modell nur wärmstens empfehlen!

El monitor es espectacular por el precio vale cada euro invertido. Recomendado al 100
