MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD WQHD Gaming Monitor with 165Hz Refresh Rate

MSI expands its gaming monitor offering and announces the new high-performance Optix MAG274QRF-QD 165 Hz monitor, a product designed for eSports that joins the Optix MAG274QRF and recently announced Optix MAG322CQR curved monitor.

MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD is a 27-inch monitor that uses a FastIPS panel with Quad-HD resolution (2560×1440 pixels); substantially it does not differ much from the basic version MAG274QRF, but unlike the latter, it uses Quantum Dot technology that improves the visual experience.

The supplied FastIPS panel offers a refresh rate of up to 165 Hz and a response time of 1ms (GtG), features that work well with compatible NVIDIA G-Sync technology. Good DCI-P3 coverage (97%) while the maximum brightness is declared in 300 nits, the typical contrast is 1000:1.

Like all MSI gaming monitor models, we also find a good possibility of adjustment and customization, without forgetting the support for Gaming OSD APP 2.0, software that allows us to manage the MSI monitor in a simple and personalized way. As for the port equipment, MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD offers Display Port 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.0b, USB Type-C, and 3x USB 2.0.
