Overview

Immersive WQHD gaming fun!

Dive into the heart of the game with the MSI Optix MAG272CQR curved gaming monitor and outperform all your opponents! This 27-inch model features a WQHD image on an anti-glare VA panel and offers optimal conditions for gamers with a frequency of 165 Hz, a response time of 1 ms and AMD FreeSync technology. All the conditions are there to reach the top and invite you into the big league!

Flawless display

The MSI MAG272CQR monitor features WQHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution for a superior viewing experience! It features a 27" curved VA panel that delivers sublime images with 90% DCI-P3 gamut coverage and excellent 3000:1 contrast. Whether you're in a competitive game or a more sedate one, enjoy quality graphics!

What's more, the back of the monitor features an RGB LED strip with Mystic Light so you can fully customise the lighting and then synchronise it with your other Mystic Light compatible devices.

Even more speed

With a high refresh rate of 165 Hz, this MSI monitor offers a smooth display with ultra-detailed images, even in the middle of the action. This is ideal for the perfect gaming experience, especially for fans of FPS and other fast-paced games where victory is often decided by a few hundredths of a second! Ghosting will be a thing of the past, because with a response time of 1 ms, you can be sure that you will always enjoy image transitions without suffering from image retention.

Maximum smoothness with AMD FREESYNC

AMD's FreeSync technology addresses the input lag, tearing, and jerkiness that can sometimes occur in games. By synchronising the refresh rate of your monitor with that of your graphics card, it allows you to enjoy a perfectly clear picture, without artefacts or lag.

IMPROVED EYE COMFORT

Although it is very difficult to notice, the flicker rate of a standard monitor is 200 per second. This flicker puts a strain on your eyes and can cause blurred vision and eye strain. With Anti-Flicker and Less Blue Light technologies, enjoy greater comfort with less flicker and less blue light emission.

    Excellent gaming screen, still perfect after several years

    The MSI 27" LED Optix MAG272CQR is an excellent screen that I've been using since 2020, and it's still in perfect condition. With its 165 Hz, 0.1 ms response time and WQHD resolution (2560x1440), it offers exceptional fluidity and immersion, enhanced by its curved design.

    The only weak point is the LEDs on the rear, which aren't very useful. For better value for money, you can opt for the same model without the LEDs, which performs just as well and costs less.

    All in all, a reliable, high-performance screen, perfect for long-lasting, immersive use.

    Optix MAG272CQR

    The MSI Optix MAG272CQR delivers an immersive viewing experience thanks to its QHD resolution, high refresh rate of 165Hz and 1500R curved panel. Vivid colours and compatibility with FreeSync technology ensure smooth, tear-free images, ideal for gaming. Features such as Mystic Light technology add a customisable aesthetic touch. However, build quality could be improved, but overall the Optix MAG272CQR offers excellent value for money for gamers looking to enhance their viewing experience.

    Excellent WQHD monitor

    Package received in perfect condition!
    To finally go beyond 1080p is incredible, this screen is perfect in 27".
    The settings via the GamingOSD app are simple, accessible and allow a very thorough customization according to your desires.
    In addition, the USB 3 hub is a nice touch.
    I recommend this monitor from the MSI range.

    Dead pixel

    Too bad the screen was good, good colours. Great for work and play. But I am disappointed because I have a dead pixel in the middle of my screen as it is my work tool this pixel is very annoying. I have asked for an exchange but the warranty does not apply to a single pixel, so I have to send the screen back at my own expense.Also I would probably have given the score of 8/10 if this problem did not exist.

    perfect in every way

    10/10 for the technical service and the screen:
    - The technical service for their handling of the first screen that I had received in a damaged package, and without having put a reserve. The returns department (Jéremy, whom I thank very much once again) made a free exchange. I received a new screen today, in perfect condition, everything is fine.
    I don't regret my purchase from LDLC, professionals.
    - 10/10 for the screen, 27'', 2560X1440, 165 Hertz, I think everything is said. This comment will be modified in a while after checking my games.
    I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

    Almost perfect

    The possibility to upload a photo would have helped me to express my feelings.

    I would have given it a 10/10 if my screen didn't have 4 white backlight spots scattered around the edges of the screen, visible in games and in movies on dark sequences.

    It's true that I was unlucky, it's true that this happens relatively often, but I've been used to impeccable quality from MSI.

    The OSD is accessible via a button under the screen which allows adjustments to be made with the mouse and is particularly practical. As for switching from 60 to 165hz, how can I put it... The G-Sync compatibility is perfect, no worries there.

    As far as HDR is concerned, what I've read on various reviews is true. We are quite generous with the notion of HDR Ready. It may or may not work, depending on the game. On ME Andromeda for example, you get a nice kaleidoscope on some cutscenes. But personally I don't care about HDR, I tested it, then deactivated it, it doesn't even affect my score. And it's a software problem, not a hardware one, so it's "curable".

    As for Mystic Light, it syncs when it wants to, when it can, so anyone who already uses this software won't be lost.

    I'm still happy with my purchase, you got the MSI.

    Finally, a thumbs up to LDLC for its reactivity during the confinement.

    very good screen

    The screen is beautiful, fluid and of good quality. The height adjustment and vertical swivel are very nice.
    I have only had it for 1 week but so far I am happy with my purchase.
    Great!
