MSI MAG 274QRF QD E2 27 Inch WQHD Gaming Monitor - 2560 x 1440 Rapid IPS Quantum Dot Panel, 180 Hz - 1ms, 120percentage sRGB Colour Gamut, DisplayHDR 400 - DP 14a, HDMI 20b, USB Type-C

MSI MAG 274QRF QD E2 This is an outstanding monitor by MSI. The picture quality is amazing. It's Quantum Dot technology really gives this monitor a massive coverage of all colour gamuts. It does not need calibrating out of the box as the settings are very close to being perfect. Just set Gaming to User, Professional to sRGB, Colour Temperature to Normal, response times via three overdrive profiles to Fast, and active Adaptative Sync if you have a fairly modern GPU. Then Windows settings, set display to 180hz and it's good to go. I really love the fact that its a plug and go monitor, no messing about to get a good picture. I choose this monitor due to it's Quantum Dot tech, it has a 180hz refresh rate and it's a 2560x1440 resolution. This monitor has really blown me away. I researched a lot of other monitors and this one really stood out. Hardware Unboxed (Monitors Unboxed) has a really good review of the 1st gen version. This is the second gen with a higher brightness of 400 cd/m² and a higher refresh rate of 180hz. What impressed me the most is when I'm gaming. The colours make everything look so vivid and the 180hz refresh rate and brightness make my experience move immersive. This is one of the best non OLED monitors currently on the market. The monitor, in my opinion does not have any downsides. It's priced very reasonably, and has a lot of features that true hardcore gamers would love. For me it's a really good monitor that satisfies all my needs, emails, office work, streaming and gaming.

Msi mag 274qrf QD E2, £238. Quick review - for £238 it's 10/10, looks great, great monitor arm like stand, bright, colourful and no dead or stuck pixels or noticeable backlight bleed. Longer review - I wanted a monitor that to me is good value, looks good, bright, colourful,1440p and leaves no regrets after purchase. Feel like I got exactly what I was looking for, actually really happy with this monitor. I looked at loads of monitor reviews as my current 1080p one is 10 years old. I couldn't find many reviews on this one as it's quite new, ones I did find seemed positive, it's also an upgrade to the first edition which seemed to be a decent monitor. I did keep coming back to this monitor and to me this seemed to be the one that ticked the boxes. The screen looks really good, in my opinion it's really not much of a leap away from how my pixel 6a looks which is 1080p oled. That's about the best way to describe it realistically as ive not got anything else that's comparable. The main thing I was most happy with actually was that the monitor came with 0 dead pixels, 0 stuck pixels and no noticeable backlight bleed, I even ran a monitor test just to check and it's pixel perfect which was an unnecessary worry I gave myself from reading too many reviews. The monitor stand it comes with is fantastic, you can move the monitor into all the positions, it has in my situation, saved me from buying a monitor arm. I've added a few photos, white colour test one shows the no dead or frozen pixels, I would have added more but mobile pics of the monitor really don't represent how good it actually looks. Overall I feel it was the right purchase for me and do feel like it's excellent value compared to other monitors in this price range.

My main reason for buying this monitor is the 180Hz refresh rate because I'm sitting very close So with this monitor I have no issues with headaches from flickering or like tiredness from like a 60Hz monitor. My only issue is there's a tiny blurry dead pixel or smudge/slight burnt pixel near the center I cleaned and wiped multiple times my screen but it's inside the screen It's not as bad as on my picture I zoomed in so if I watch a movie it's not an issue at all but if I edit photos or using Ableton I see the "slight smudge" there. I'm going on a holiday so I'm most likely not going to return it. I don't know I'll see

Very bad backlight bleed along the sides and corners, I will be returning this one and I am not to sure whether to chance a 2nd one. The photo was taken during the day, it's a shame as apart from this issue it's a nice monitor.

Firstly this review is taking place almost 9 months after I recieved the monitor, no major issues so far, no dead pixels, picture quality and colour accuracy is fantastic, only image quality issue I have is it does have quite a bit of "IPS bleed" which basically means playing a game or watching a film that's supposed to be dark, has that kind of grey glow under the screen, but this is quite common on all IPS panels, think I got a bit unlucky with one that's slightly worse than average, but it's not a big issue. 180hz, VRR, smooth for gaming, even games that are not well optimised feel smoother due to VRR. In terms of value for money, you won't find much better than this, I would highly recommend for a 1440p gaming experience.

I purchased 3 of these monitors in total attemping to upgrade my current dual monitor setup, but was saddened to see that all 3 of the monitors that I got had defects of some kind, including dead pixels, pink hues to the screen, and so on. The monitor has some really good specs if you are able to get one that isnt defective, but unfortunately it seems that most of them have at least one defect that im not happy to get on a brand new monitor.

The MSI MAG 274QRF QD E2 is an exceptional choice for gamers and content creators. Starting with its build, the monitor feels robust, and the stand, while slightly heavy, ensures that it remains stable, which is important for those who require precision in their work, such as 3D artists like myself. In terms of display, it’s a standout performer. The 1440p resolution on an IPS panel, combined with a 180Hz refresh rate, makes gaming buttery smooth, delivering a crisp and immersive experience. The G-Sync compatibility with Adaptive Sync technology further elevates the gaming experience, reducing screen tearing and ensuring fluidity in fast-paced games. One of the most impressive aspects of this monitor is its Quantum Dot technology, which produces stunning colors. The DCI-P3 wide color gamut is particularly beneficial for content creators, ensuring accurate and vibrant colors, and making it great for professional use. The contrast ratio is excellent, outperforming others in its price range, and HDR support adds another layer of depth when watching movies or gaming. As a 3D Digital Artist, I’m thoroughly impressed by how content looks on this display. Every detail is sharp, and the colors pop, which has made my workflow more enjoyable and precise. Having previously used an MSI Optix 1080p monitor, which I was already happy with, this upgrade has surpassed my expectations. MSI continues to deliver quality, and I will consider their products for future purchases. Rating: 9.5/10.

The monitor is good but the screen has a lot of light bleed around it. Not happy.

165 Hz, VRR, 1ms response time and great colour reproduction. What more can I ask at this price? Has been working perfectly and I am very happy with the investment. The low blue light mode is also great and is effective paired with night mode on desktop. Overall, this is great value at the listing price.

The MSI MAG 274QRF QD E2 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a 27" 2K monitor. The 180Hz refresh rate makes gaming super smooth, and the colors are vibrant thanks to the Quantum Dot panel. The KVM feature is very handy for switching between devices easily. Only downside is that my unit came with a single red stuck pixel, which is noticeable on dark/black backgrounds. Not a dealbreaker, but taking one star off for that. Overall, a fantastic monitor for the price.
