MSI G27C4X 27" Curved Gaming Monitor, 1920 x 1080 (FHD), 1ms, 250Hz, FreeSync, HDMI, DisplayPort, Anti-Flicker, Anti-Glare, HDR Ready,Black

Exactly what I was looking for! I did not want a huge monitor, as the smaller the monitor the more pixels per inch. Also wanted very high frames per second without sacrificing performance, so the 1080 full hd works out great, and I can not stress enough about this monitors Massive 250hz.The perfect balance of price and performance! The color and clarity of this monitor are definitely lacking out of the box. After a bit of playing with the settings this truly is a great monitor with vivid color, the perfect size and curvature for gaming, super high speed response, and that curve ratio - all exactly what I was looking for. The larger the monitor, the further apart the pixels. Also the higher the resolution, the lower response time, refresh rate, or hertz.Coming from years of previously hooking up my pc to a large 4K television at 60hz (yes it still looks amazing but is slower), and not having bought a brand new monitor or put one together for a while... it is not difficult at all to do, but was still a pain. I blame my own excitement and patience though. Just as building a pc, yes it is meticulous but totally worth it. It also has the expected mounting features as well.Sound quality? Seriously? I can not find any rational reason why anyone would want to use a displays on board sound as their go to option. Personally I haven't tried it pr checked if there even is the option. But you do you!At such a low price point packed with so many sought after features, I can easily see myself or others buying more than one and mounting them side by side, above and below for a full gaming immersion.Others had mentioned black spots or heavy dark pixels, even posting videos and pictures demonstrating the annoyances of this display. I can say that while yes it is there, it is however not as noticeable or frequent as one might have you think. I read about it and saw the posts before buying this monitor. It did not stop me. Adjusting your display settings is a thing. Maybe try playing with settings, antialiasing specifically or super resolution a bit and this will likely make this not so bad. I have not been bothered by this, but with a little tweaking of settings should eliminate or have this issue some have said slightly alleviated. This also depends on your graphics card, game, or video that you are watching source. However in dark scenarios for whatever reason, yes this is true out of the box and not playing with settings for this panel, however there are solutions. So it is still worth every penny.Again I will point out, that to me these caveats are not such a huge deal as I did not expect the best in resolution, in display technology, or all of the highest bells and whistles when it comes to display quality and display specifications. I went for price, speed, curvature as its primary functions. This monitor clearly has a lot going on at 250hz and its curve ratio all with such a low price. It has exceeded all of my expectations for what was paid. There are no regrets in this purchase and I'm likely going to buy another, if not several.Out of the box there is no HDR and it wasn't running at 250hz. So obviously you'll need to open up your computers settings to get the 250hz and HDR features going. Also needed adjust the clear type for font and text on screen. As well as many other in display settings to fit my liking.Some had reviewed monitors in the 27 inch range with 1080p to be not a good option at all, talking about the pixels and how visible they become the larger up in screen size that you go. I can tell you that personally I don't visually see each and every individual pixel on this 27 inch display, and to me it is nonsense.What is not nonsense though, was the comments made about going from a 250hz display back down to something like 144hz or 60hz. Yeah that isn't possible for me now either and holds firmly true. After going up to a 250hz display monitor, I can attest that it would be extremely difficult to ever be able to go back down again. I hope that I'll never have to. Everything else seems super slow and laggy after getting this display and looking at another. Hope this review has shed a bit of light and has helped.

works really good, i would recommend this monitor if you have a amd gpu, this is the best monitor you can get for this price, the colors are good, the hdr is very noticeable, it is very antiglare and antiflicker, no reflections at all on it, actually a big monitor than i expected when i got it, but it has very easy assembly for the stand, has no speakers

Great response time. High quality to go with new pc build.

had the monitor for 2 yrs it has been working with no problems ever since my other one had a pixel issue but so far i love the little curvy design on it just what i need to prevent sun ray from the windows shining onto the screen highly recommend if you are looking for a good monitor at the right price also glad it is compatible for my nvidia i didn't look at the description at the time of purchasing but so far im happy with it

Excllent monitor. MSI always. Would definitely recommend. Performs better than expected.

Worked out great for my son and his needs - College and Gaming!

I don't normally write reviews, but there are several points I wanted to share for those that may be considering these units. I bought 2 of these to replace my current setup so that I had 2 same-sized monitors for my MSI GE75 Raider gaming laptop. I mounted them both on a Huanuo desk mount. This setup process, minus the wiring, only took 10 or so minutes between the 2.First of all, they are fantastic monitors, as they have amazing color and have many customizable color optimization options , many of which I may likely never adjust. I am a semi-hardcore gamer when I am not working, so this is a major plus. I don't personally need 4k+ picture quality, as I've been gaming for 20+ years, well before 4k was around.Secondly, they feel rather large as only being 27", which is a plus due to downsizing from a 55" Samsung TV with only semi-low latency compatibility. The curve is just right, without being awkward, although the one I have set vertically has taken a little time to get used to.Lastly, I would like to note that the ports available on the back are just right, in terms of quantity, for those who might want to swap devices, such as for console vs PC, etc. I am currently using my main screen with a mini display port, from the laptop, to the Display port on the monitor. I am able to get the full 280Hz out of this one, perfect for gaming, etc. The second, vertical screen, is just utilizing Hdmi - Hdmi, which is well enough for watching videos, browsing the web, and just general multitasking. This only allows just under 240Hz, which is perfectly fine for 99% of anything I do anyway.Overall, these are great monitors and I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a new screen(s), especially for the killer deal (as of current timing) of only $150 roughly, before tax.I would like to note to @MSI themselves to please adjust the MAIN DESCRIPTION of this product, as it is indeed misleading any user to believe there are speakers on these monitors. This is the ONLY reason for this model not being 5 star. If you go to MSI's actual website, you will see that the MAG 274CXF model does NOT have speakers in them, however, they do have 2 types of audio ports, headphone-out and DC-in, of which my laptop does recognize, even without a source being plugged into it. I use headphones, the stock speakers on the laptop, and occasionally a Bluetooth speaker as my audio source.Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to read my review, I wish you all Much Love & Zen! <3P.S. I will hopefully remember to take quality pictures to post when there is better light in my room another day.

Not disappointed at all, was going to use it as a 2nd screen but it ended up becoming my primary monitor and thoroughly enjoy for the price
