MSI G271CQP E2, 27 Gaming Monitor, 2560 x 1440 (QHD), VA, 170Hz, FreeSync Premium, HDMI, Displayport, Tilt, Swivel, Height Adjustable,Pivot

1) Gaming is a bit of a stretch. I have a slightly older MSI WQHD thats no longer available that was about the same price. Pretty much same bezel and panel, but it has way better gaming features in the built in monitor settings. No game mode settings. No RGB. 2) The power supply cable is non-standard for monitors. Its some cheap laptop charger brick instead with a very short cable and tiny round connector. I have a vertical dual monitor setup and the power brick is just hanging in the air. They cheaped out here and its basically impossible to get a longer cable since it is not any kind of standard.

Currently using this monitor on my setup and I love it. 1440p looks great and response times are great. No HDR. And the monitor doesn’t adjust height vertically. But still a beast.

I really loved this monitor just one flaw is that it wouldn’t support the 1440p 120hz on Xbox series X

Nothing to dislike here all in one highly recommended

No issues since we bought it

I want to be cry when I open my package. Im really upset and I do not know what happen with my screen. I need a answer right now.

I was really looking forward to using this monitor and upon opening the box setting up the screen on my desk turning it on I was left disappointed because part of the screen is darker than the other half. I looked it up and it’s says my screen is broken and that I need to get a new one! How can you send out a broken screen! And now the screen won’t even turn on and says it has no signal!

PROS: Things I like. +This is a beautiful monitor. The 1000R curved makes it easier on the eyes after a long day at working. I stare at a screen for 8 hours a day for work, so I wanted a curved monitor which will not add to the fatigue so this monitor helps when I want to relax for gaming. +This has a wide color gamut and high pixel density which makes a good contrast and beautiful visuals that you would normally see on a IPS panel instead of a VA Panel like this. This has better color display compared to other similar models like an Acer 1000r Curved 27 monitor. +Freesync works no problems with my rtx 3080 so no screen tearing. Now the CONS. - NOT HDR CERTIFIED: The product title can be misleading to regular consumers. HDR Ready (keyword bring Ready) means it fulfills the minimum requirements to support High Dynamic Range (HDR) but was not certified to do so (probably related to certification costs). What this means for us is HDR can be turn on for certain applications and games. For example, I can turn HDR in Battlefield 1 graphic settings which was released in 2016, but not newer games like battlefield 2042 and cannot enable HDR in the window display settings. I got this on sale for $249, however would not buy it at regular price if HDR is your requirement. - NO Monitor Joystick. This screen doesnt have a monitor Joy stick so its hard to customize the settings while only using the buttons under the screen. At this price point, I would expect at least this. - UNABLE to turn on 165hz mode manually on monitor. For whatever reason, and it could be the particular unit I recieve, I could not turn on 165hz in the monitor settings. Click on the setting only gave me to turn on location for some weird reason. I had to download the MSI display app just to enable 165hz, but it would sometimes reset to 60hz when I do that. Conclusion: Overall Im content with this monitor, however I would reccomend this only if its on sale and if you need a 1000r screen. If you dont need a curved screen, the next best monitor I would reccomend for a 27 that is HDR certified would be the LG 27GP850-B.

Overall very good monitor for the price with the resolution and response time. I have 2 of these for a very nice setup. Only downside was 1 of them came with several dead pixels which Amazon sent me out a replacement immediately and took care of everything. Would buy again.

I bought this item on sale for around $200 after a month or 2 of use I can say this was An amazing purchase I’ve enjoyed gaming and watching movies/YouTube on it. All around great monitor
