MSI Optix G27C6: Lab Tested - RTINGS.com

The MSI Optix G27C6 is good for gaming. It has features most gamers want, like a 165Hz max refresh rate, FreeSync support, and G-SYNC compatibility. Input lag is really low, but the response time is slow, resulting in blurry motion. It's a good choice...

165hz refresh rate with vrr support, very low input lag, excellent native contrast ratio

MSI Optix G27C5: Lab Tested - RTINGS.com

The MSI Optix G27C5 is an okay overall monitor. It performs best as a gaming monitor because it has an incredibly low input lag, FreeSync VRR support, and good response time. It's alright to use in an office, but its 1080p resolution, narrow viewing...

MSI Optix G27C4: Lab Tested - RTINGS.com

The MSI Optix G27C4 is a decent monitor for most uses. It can deliver a good picture quality, but its 1080p resolution is a bit low for a 27 inch screen, which is less ideal for multitasking. It's a great gaming monitor, though, as it has a 165Hz...

MSI Optix G27C: Lab Tested - RTINGS.com

The MSI G27C is only okay for mixed usage. Thanks to its 144 Hz refresh rate and low input lag, it does provide a decent gaming experience, but its mediocre picture quality and very narrow viewing angle can often cause issues.

MSI Optix MPG27C Review

£360 or $366 is a high price to pay for a 1080p gaming monitor, but the MSI Optix MPG27C tries to justify its cost with loads of features. The MPG27C serves up a superb refresh rate, a fast response time, smart software and even RGB LEDs. Can MSI's...

The monitor in our MSI Optix MPG27C review doesn’t have brilliant colour accuracy, but that’s arguably the least-important attribute in a gaming panel – the colours here are good, and that’s good enough.

MSI Optix MPG27C review

Ideal for multi-monitor setups

High refresh rates ; Good image quality ; Thin bezels ; Good price

Relatively low resolution ; RGB lighting won’t be for everyone ; Needs tweaking out of the box

If you play fast-paced games and don't care about high resolutions, the 1080p MSI Optix MPG27C is worth considering. However, more demanding gamers may be disappointed. What kind of gamer you are, and the type of games you play, will have a bearing on...

MSI Optix MAG27CQ Curved Gaming Monitor Review - FunkyKit

I've been using my trusted old 24-inch Dell monitor for the past 5 years. It's been great, but now I think it's time for an upgrade. I've been stubbornly holding back, from getting a new monitor because I didn't see a real need to … until now. This...

You know what they say … once you go large, there’s no turning back! And this is true with the 27-inch MSI Optix MAG27CQ Curved Gaming Monitor.

MSI Optix MPG27C RGB Gaming Monitor Review

It seems you can't swing a cat in the average PC enthusiast hardware store these days without hittin MSI has done it – RGB lighting on a monitor. Could it possibly be worth £450?

Truly innovative and useful RGB lighting front and back.

Full HD on 27in panel means visible pixels.
