Product Information

Updated the monitor to the latest firmware, and retested the accuracy out of the box with the new sRGB mode.

It’s important to note that when shopping for gadgets and technology products, it can be tempting to go for the lowest price possible. However, be wary of retailers that offer prices that seem too good to be true. Some less reputable retailers may sell counterfeit or low-quality products, which can be dangerous and not perform as well as the genuine product. The dynamic contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce over time, for example, in the course of playing a video.Adobe RGB (1998) is a color space, developed by Adobe Systems in 1998. It has a wider gamut than the sRGB (mainly in the cyan-green range of colors) and is widely used in professional printing. Firstly, high-quality gadgets and technology products tend to be more reliable. This means that they are less likely to break down or malfunction. When you’re relying on a product for an important task, such as work or communication, reliability is key. Investing in a high-quality MSI G274QPF-QD Quad HD 27″ Quantum Dot Gaming Monitor can give you peace of mind and help you avoid frustrating situations where your device fails you. Ergonomics Information about the ergonomic functions - height adjustment, swivel angles, tilt angles, etc. VESA mount The operating temperature shows the safe temperature range (from minimum to maximum), within which the display will function flawlessly. Outside this range it might operate improperly and/or fail entirely. For color performance, we're getting the usual benefits of IPS – a flat panel with excellent viewing angles, a wide but not that wide gamut and an above average IPS contrast ratio.

The operating altitude shows the maximum admissible altitude, at which the display will function flawlessly. Above this level it might not operate properly and/or might seize to function. The storage humidity shows the lower and upper humidity limit, which ensures safe storage of the display. Storing it outside these limits might damage the display. Information of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases. However, if you're interested in a true HDR product, there are some excellent options on the market these days. While they can be quite expensive, the experience they offer is outstanding. To determine which HDR monitor is best for you, we'd recommend first deciding between a regular 16:9 format or an ultrawide, then considering screen resolution and display technology.

Design and Features

In the categories discussed so far, the focus has largely been on 27-inch 1440p monitors, which is where the best performance products are today. But for some gamers, 27 inches is just too small and that's where the 32-inch display format comes into play. The 1440p monitor market continues to evolve rapidly, and we believe it's currently more challenging than ever to recommend products in this category due to the sheer number of options available. Let's begin with the budget 1440p category, which currently comprises medium refresh rate monitors within the 144-180Hz range. The static contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce simultaneously, for example, within one and the same frame/scene. When purchasing an HDR monitor, the usual caveats apply when researching the range of HDR options available. Exercise caution with products that advertise HDR without actually offering any genuine HDR capabilities. These monitors (often advertised as DisplayHDR 400) simply aren't worth buying or considering in any regard.

If you're interested in going down the ultrawide path and feel that format is right for you, you've made a great decision. In our opinion, the QD-OLED ultrawides are some of the best HDR gaming screens available today. We also personally appreciate the 21:9 format for its superior immersion compared to standard 16:9 monitors, although it's not for everyone. We tweaked the RGB sliders and were able to lower the grayscale error by a tiny amount. However, we couldn’t notice this improvement with our naked eyes.Also, there's no USB passthrough or USB connectivity for software customization without using manual on-display controls. There is a USB-C display port, which is nice to see, but all customization is handled via the display itself - but thankfully, MSI's OSD options and controls are intuitive and extensive. The picture looks great either way, as long as you’re OK with a massive color gamut that covers more than 112% of DCI-P3. That’s great for HDR games and movies, but SDR material will be more colorful than its creators intended. There is no sRGB mode available, but we expect most will enjoy the MSI’s large and vibrant color palette, especially for gaming. inch 1440p monitors are tried and tested sweet spots in the gaming monitor business. They present upgraded sharpness and clarity without the adverse effects of going with a 4K alternative. Major gaming brands are now pushing for it to become the next E-Sports resolution format, although they mainly advertise their 240Hz to 360Hz variants. But the improved visuals and performance are well worth the investment. Our current recommendation for high-end buyers is the Asus ROG Swift PG27AQDM, a 27-inch 1440p 240Hz OLED display. This product delivers motion clarity surpassing most LCD monitors, getting very close to 360Hz offerings. Even if you're not particularly interested in HDR gaming, the PG27AQDM is an excellent product for competitive multiplayer gamers due to its speed and high refresh rate, and it gets even better if you play a variety of games that include both multiplayer and single-player options. What impressed me, especially when switching to more cinematic games like Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered and Resident Evil 4 on PC, was just how crisp and vibrant the image quality is. The Rapid IPS panel deployed here is more than the 'Rapid' part of the description; it's also all about impressive color accuracy, contrast level, and the crispness you get from an excellent IPS panel. MSI has put most of the focus on the panel when designing the MSI G274QPF-QD - and that's a choice we can get behind. Final Thoughts
