MSI MAG27C6X 27-inch 1080p gaming monitor with 250Hz and HDR

The MSI G27C4X (REVIEW), a gaming monitor released last year, now has a new successor or complement: the MSI MAG27C6X. This latest model boasts a refreshed stand design alongside a 27-inch VA panel, perfect for 1080p gaming on a 27-inch monitor. It delivers crisp full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) and impresses with a maximum refresh rate of 250 Hz, ideal for smooth gameplay.

Featuring a contrast ratio of 3000:1, a typical brightness of 250 cd/m², and a color depth of 10 bits (8 bit + FRC), the MAG G27C6X ensures vibrant visuals with deep blacks and bright colors. Its 1500R curvature provides an immersive viewing experience, enhanced by the monitor’s extensive color coverage—99% sRGB, 80% Adobe RGB, and 77% DCI-P3. For seamless action, Adaptive Sync technology reduces tearing, making it optimal for 1080p gaming on a 27-inch monitor.

Connectivity is indeed generous, offering a wide range of options. Firstly, it includes two HDMI 2.0b ports which are capable of supporting up to 240 Hz at full HD. Additionally, there is a DisplayPort 1.2a that allows for up to 250 Hz at full HD. Furthermore, for those in need of audio connections, a headphone jack is also provided. Together, these features cater to a comprehensive variety of gaming and multimedia needs, ensuring users have all the necessary ports for an enhanced experience.

From an ergonomic standpoint, the MSI MAG27C6X includes tilt functionality, VESA mount support (100×100 mm), blue light filtering, and a flicker-free backlight for comfortable extended gaming sessions. An AI-enhanced black stabilizer feature, “AI Vision”, is adjustable through the on-screen display (OSD), offering nuanced visuals in dark scenes. While HDR support is provided, the monitor’s moderate luminance and absence of dimming capabilities may temper expectations in HDR performance.
