MSI MAG 274QRF QD E2 27 Inch WQHD Gaming Monitor - 2560 x 1440 Rapid IPS Quantum Dot Panel, 180 Hz - 1ms, 120percentage sRGB Colour Gamut, DisplayHDR 400 - DP 14a, HDMI 20b, USB Type-C

The monitor is good but the screen has a lot of light bleed around it. Not happy.

The MSI MAG 274QRF QD E2 is an exceptional choice for gamers and content creators. Starting with its build, the monitor feels robust, and the stand, while slightly heavy, ensures that it remains stable, which is important for those who require precision in their work, such as 3D artists like myself. In terms of display, it’s a standout performer. The 1440p resolution on an IPS panel, combined with a 180Hz refresh rate, makes gaming buttery smooth, delivering a crisp and immersive experience. The G-Sync compatibility with Adaptive Sync technology further elevates the gaming experience, reducing screen tearing and ensuring fluidity in fast-paced games. One of the most impressive aspects of this monitor is its Quantum Dot technology, which produces stunning colors. The DCI-P3 wide color gamut is particularly beneficial for content creators, ensuring accurate and vibrant colors, and making it great for professional use. The contrast ratio is excellent, outperforming others in its price range, and HDR support adds another layer of depth when watching movies or gaming. As a 3D Digital Artist, I’m thoroughly impressed by how content looks on this display. Every detail is sharp, and the colors pop, which has made my workflow more enjoyable and precise. Having previously used an MSI Optix 1080p monitor, which I was already happy with, this upgrade has surpassed my expectations. MSI continues to deliver quality, and I will consider their products for future purchases. Rating: 9.5/10.

MSI MAG 274QRF QD E2 This is an outstanding monitor by MSI. The picture quality is amazing. It's Quantum Dot technology really gives this monitor a massive coverage of all colour gamuts. It does not need calibrating out of the box as the settings are very close to being perfect. Just set Gaming to User, Professional to sRGB, Colour Temperature to Normal, response times via three overdrive profiles to Fast, and active Adaptative Sync if you have a fairly modern GPU. Then Windows settings, set display to 180hz and it's good to go. I really love the fact that its a plug and go monitor, no messing about to get a good picture. I choose this monitor due to it's Quantum Dot tech, it has a 180hz refresh rate and it's a 2560x1440 resolution. This monitor has really blown me away. I researched a lot of other monitors and this one really stood out. Hardware Unboxed (Monitors Unboxed) has a really good review of the 1st gen version. This is the second gen with a higher brightness of 400 cd/m² and a higher refresh rate of 180hz. What impressed me the most is when I'm gaming. The colours make everything look so vivid and the 180hz refresh rate and brightness make my experience move immersive. This is one of the best non OLED monitors currently on the market. The monitor, in my opinion does not have any downsides. It's priced very reasonably, and has a lot of features that true hardcore gamers would love. For me it's a really good monitor that satisfies all my needs, emails, office work, streaming and gaming.

Colors are vibrant thanks to the Quantum Dot IPS panel, motion feels smooth at 180 Hz, and the USB-C with 65 W charging plus the built-in KVM make it great for both work and gaming.

Assembly took roughly 5 mins and was easy, no stuck or dead pixels (at least yet), which was the first thing I checked for. Had to change up the monitor options to get the best colours, HDR seemed kinda useless and made the screen rather dim and the Premium Color mode is oversaturated. Found user mode to be best, though I don't own a colorimeter. In either case, it's significantly better than my 240hz Alienware I got a few years ago in terms of picture quality. One thing to note, if you run this monitor on an old GPU, you might not be able to max out this monitor, as in my case I run a 1060 and have to cap the monitor at 165 hz whilst using native resolution (1440p). Whilst not perfect, this monitor is extremely good at a £200 price point and definitely recommend.
