msiG274QPF-QD, 27" Gaming Monitor, 2560 x 1440(QHD), IPS, 170Hz, FreeSync Premium, HDR400, HDMI, Displayport, USB C, Tilt, Black

Monitor is overall great, but the default color is garbage and needs calibration.The bezel on the monitor is quite big and bigger than my older LG monitor.This is a IPS panel so blacks are really just gray and whites arent that white.Thats just the way IPS is though. The monitor I received has 0 dead pixels but itdoes have too much light bleed in the top-right portion of the screen and I do notice it, but its not that big a deal to me. Again this is a IPS monitor and its random to how much and where you'll have light bleed at on the monitor. The image I uploaded shows this monitor on the left and the right monitor is a LG VA panel (so realize the LG VA panel is pretty much black)In games this monitor works great. Very responsible and fast. No ghosting or blurring.The stand on this monitor is a big bigger than it should be and the plastic on the entire monitor feels cheap, but the stand works great and is fully adjustable and rotatable.The real negative things about this monitor to me are #1 the power/menu button is on the back of the monitor and just annoying to use. #2 The inputs are placed vertically so you can't ever actually see the inputs on the monitor unless you put your head underneath it or rotate the screen. #3 Which is the biggest issue I have with the monitor. It switches resolutions VERY slowly. Its literally 4 seconds slower than my LG. Now this shouldn't matter 99% of the time, but for those that run other monitors in other resolutions or play games in other resolutions (streamers do this often ) It is a PITA to have to wait so long for it to switch. (such as when you alt+tab back to this monitor)I'll be keeping this monitor as it was only $269 and its great value for the money. You can also return it if you get a bad panel. so I recommend this.

Short review+Amazing Color quality+Great resolution and perfect size+Comfortable stand+Full connectivity+Great bright-Black and contrast ratioFull reviewI'm a graphic designer so the task to get a great monitor is so difficult because I need the best quality for my work and there are a lot of options, trust me I've spent a good time searching for the perfect one (about a month). After all that time I can say with no doubt this is the best:Why?The color accuracy is just amazing, watching spider verse movies in this will give you to other level, I have an oled screen and the colors of this IPS monitor are just the same. Quantum Dots make a big difference than other IPS.Resolution and size is ideal perfect to being in front of it working and not losing details, 27 inches is ideal, 32 inches is too big and if you I want something bigger go get a TV.The stand is really comfortable, at the begging I though the stand was going to be useful, but I was wrong you don't know how much since you get it.The frequency works well, any problem of image latency when you play.Bright is good, promese you can work at places with a lot of illumination, of course you are going to get best performance if using in dark places.The only bad thing is the contrast ratio and in consequence the hdr, is not worse and terrible but honestly there some other IPS with better black, is in you and your needs if is a determinant point.So to summarize I think this is the best monitor for the price, because the quality of the image is solid, and the construction materials of it are great, really close to an oled in all aspects except darks obviously, but an oled cost is twice or triple so is in you if you want to make the next step.

I bought this monitor before the summer thinking it was good deal at the time, especially for the price. Today, a vertical line of dead pixels appeared, about 3 inches long while watching YouTube. I filed a warranty claim with MSI and as I'm going through the return instructions, it states that you, the customer, are to pay the shipping costs to have them service and fix their defective product. Shipping an item like a monitor is not cheap.I used a dell gaming monitor before for several years with no issues, it actually still runs great and I'll use it as my back up while dealing with this, but it's terrible that a product can't even last 6 months (and barely used compared to my dell, since i've been really busy with life since I got this monitor so haven't had a lot of time to game) and you pay the shipping for them to fix it.I thought MSI was a great company, I've used their other products but this... is not good.I see other reviews for this model now have very similar issues within the same time frame (weren't many reviews at time of purchase). Given how competitive the monitor market is nowadays, I recommend you find a different brand that'll last you longer and doesn't cost YOU money to have fixed.Edit: just shipped this out today. Shipping costs were almost half the price of the monitor.Don't buy this monitor, buy one that lasts longer than a year, isn't defective, and that costs YOU money (half the price of the monitor) for them to fix.

The color quality of the monitor is nice but there's some backlight bleed from blacks but it's to be somewhat expected. It's noticeable while playing games to me. Comes with DP cable along with screws for wall mounts. My only issue is that the packaging was just the box the monitor came in. I'd personally like there to be an external box so porch pirates don't try and steel it. My monitors box was also seemingly opened before as the original tape was cut and the box has rips that were taped over. The original tape has sealed tape for tampering layed over it to what seems to be covering open box. I was missing screws for the mount and the screw bag that was supposed to have 2 monitor stand screws in it was already opened and were gone. The company square four (SN recorded) was fast to address the issue of the screws. However, those also came used...
