MSI Optix MPG27CQ2 Curved Gaming Monitor 27 Inch, WQHD, VA, 144 Hz, 1ms, 2560 x 1440, 1440p, 1800R, RGB Mystic Light, DisplayPort, HDMI, AMD FreeSync

I've had no problems with this monitor over the last few months. It's great quality, has a superb picture, and looks the part.The curve is nice and does help immersion - personally 27" + is perfect for curved monitors, any lower and it has diminishing effects.The RGB lights are really good, and the GameSense feature is great for Discord, but defintely needs more games/apps adding (which you can do yourself if you follow the guides and know the technical know-how). You can check out compatible games and apps on the SteelSeries website.The VA panel is really good quality and for those that do not know, VA has the speed of cheaper TN panels but has colours comparatively closer to an expensive IPS panel - making it a nice middle ground for price/performance. I've been so impressed with this monitor, anyone who is still on full HD - move to 2K! You'll see a big difference.Positives- Great specs (1ms, 144hz, 2K, VA panel).- Good use of RGB on the back and front of the monitor. At least MSI are actually trying to use RGB to help the gamer with SteelSeries GamesSense which lets you display game/app information such as health on the front RGB sections at the bottom of the monitor. Honestly, it's really good to know when I have my mic muted by noticing my RGB strip is not lighting up.- Superb picture. Colours are vivid and realistic, blacks are deep, and the viewing angles are wide.- Control, the software is a doddle to use and provides loads of options for customisation.- Physical control, on the back right of the monitor is a small knob which you use to change the settings of the monitor. It works well, and if you move it anyway of the four directions it will provide you access to fast settings such as input source etc.Negatives- There is a gap between the front RGB sections and the screen.- Price, it is high and in some places justified however, if it goes down to £400 or lower it is a must buy.- Bezels, It doesn't bother me but there are bezels around the screen.- Heavy, for those that move monitors a lot!Things I haven't tested:- Sound output from the monitor- Syncronisation to an MSI motherboard RGB (I believe they use different programs so syncronising them will be difficult!)Any questions ping me a message.

Love the monitor absolutely brilliant just what I wanted I love the way you can slide it up and down to meet your eye level the way it lights up also definitely well worth the money and I will be ordering another one when I get the new Xbox

MSI always delivers me with a great gaming curved monitor with reasonable price. The RGB light is smooth and not too shiny. Love for the beautiful color .

I’ve looked a loads of monitors and it’s a bit of a mine field. But if your looking for a monitor for your gaming console, then this is the one I would recommend.It has everything you need to get the most out of your Xbox 1 or PS4. This monitor will also be great on the next gen consoles coming in November 2020.
