MSI G271CQP E2, 27 Gaming Monitor, 2560 x 1440 (QHD), VA, 170Hz, FreeSync Premium, HDMI, Displayport, Tilt, Swivel, Height Adjustable,Pivot

I think because it’s curved it’s not a good item to ship. After receiving my item broken and doing research I found out a lot of people have gotten a broken Lcd fresh out of the box. I was recommended this specific monitors by a friend. His has great pictures quality and I feel in love I was so excited to receive mine only for it to be cracked upon opening it

Its a great monitor, it really is, but I couldnt give it the 5 stars because the HDR ready part isnt accurate. This monitor does NOT come with HDR. If its not something you really care about then it wont be an issue.

Currently I use BenQ Zowie XL27s. They are 6 years old, 1080p, 120hz, and look great. I purchased this monitor because I finally got my hands on a 3080 and needed to upgrade my monitor to 2k. For the price, the specs you are getting on paper are amazing. First thing I really didnt like is the stand. It sits very low and there is no height adjustment at all. Its not terrible, but it is inconvenient. I booted it up and right away could notice the picture quality was off. I tried calibrating the settings (which all have to be done manually since this model has no presets, also inconvenient), and, after about an hour of trying, came to the conclusion that the pixels were misaligned. I believe it was most likely a factory defect with my unit. Given the affore mentioned inconveniences though, I will be selecting a different monitor.

Very great monitor and has done everything Ive needed it to do. I look forward to other MSI monitors and products in the future.

I purchased this monitor when it was on sale, various resolution and refreshing frequency including 120 and 144 Hz are supported thus all great, no ghost effects or dead pixels at all. Fast shipping and clear installation guide.

Let me start off by saying that when I bought this monitor (in August 2022) the price was 200 dollars straight from Amazon; no 3rd party seller. TLDR at the bottom. Pros: - High refresh rate (good for gaming) - 1440p - Good color contrast Cons: - VA panel, this is the biggest con (movement will not look as smooth, even with the high refresh rate. Ghosting WILL occur on this monitor and it will be obvious. I will say however, that if youve never used any other monitors you may not notice the ghosting. This monitor also will flicker under specific circumstances that even Im not aware of, and is not fixable by software updates. It is a hardware issue known to occur in VA panels such as this one) - Backlight bleed is also an issue more commonly occuring with curved VA panels. (this also occurs with IPS panels) Personally this isnt as huge an issue as is the ghosting, and does not bother me one bit. Just know that the backlight bleed will only really be noticeable in dark environments. TLDR: Annoying ghosting issues. Backlight bleed. Good contrast and colors.

One of the best monitors I have ever had. The quality and the price are perfectly balanced. Totally worth it if you are into gaming.

this wouldn’t work at 1440p 120hz on my xbox. I contacted support only for them to tell me I need a Display port. completely misleading.

What can I say? Picture quality is great for the price point, smooth 165Hz with plenty of options for color correction and a built in Blue Light filter. Absolutely worth the price.

PROS: Things I like. +This is a beautiful monitor. The 1000R curved makes it easier on the eyes after a long day at working. I stare at a screen for 8 hours a day for work, so I wanted a curved monitor which will not add to the fatigue so this monitor helps when I want to relax for gaming. +This has a wide color gamut and high pixel density which makes a good contrast and beautiful visuals that you would normally see on a IPS panel instead of a VA Panel like this. This has better color display compared to other similar models like an Acer 1000r Curved 27 monitor. +Freesync works no problems with my rtx 3080 so no screen tearing. Now the CONS. - NOT HDR CERTIFIED: The product title can be misleading to regular consumers. HDR Ready (keyword bring Ready) means it fulfills the minimum requirements to support High Dynamic Range (HDR) but was not certified to do so (probably related to certification costs). What this means for us is HDR can be turn on for certain applications and games. For example, I can turn HDR in Battlefield 1 graphic settings which was released in 2016, but not newer games like battlefield 2042 and cannot enable HDR in the window display settings. I got this on sale for $249, however would not buy it at regular price if HDR is your requirement. - NO Monitor Joystick. This screen doesnt have a monitor Joy stick so its hard to customize the settings while only using the buttons under the screen. At this price point, I would expect at least this. - UNABLE to turn on 165hz mode manually on monitor. For whatever reason, and it could be the particular unit I recieve, I could not turn on 165hz in the monitor settings. Click on the setting only gave me to turn on location for some weird reason. I had to download the MSI display app just to enable 165hz, but it would sometimes reset to 60hz when I do that. Conclusion: Overall Im content with this monitor, however I would reccomend this only if its on sale and if you need a 1000r screen. If you dont need a curved screen, the next best monitor I would reccomend for a 27 that is HDR certified would be the LG 27GP850-B.
