The MSI Optix MAG272CQR is an impressive display in several key areas. Image quality, for starters: ignore its lack of HDR ability and its poor gaming modes, and you've got a screen with stunning contrast levels, great black points and top-notch colours...

Abstract: MSI's MAG271CQR monitor was already one of the most popular 1440p 144hz monitors last year, with it's VA panel and decent overall performance, and especially good price. So, when I heard they had a new version with similar specs, with a bump in refresh ra...
Overall, the MSI Optix MAG272CQR is a decent upgrade over the previous MSI gaming solution, that increases the frequency range, offers greater display control, and now a USB hub. And, it's cheaper than the MAG27CQ was at launch which is unusual for new te...
Great feature set, Punchy colors and contrast, 165Hz refresh and adaptive sync
Patchy response from VA panel, Not a true HDR display
MSI's new 27-inch 165Hz 1440p panel is a great all-rounder, but its VA panel doesn't quite make for the quickest gaming monitor on the market despite claimed 1ms pixel response...
QHD resolution and 165Hz adaptive sync, Works with both FreeSync and G-Sync, Gaming OSD software comes in handy
Not the brightest, Ghosting could be off-putting to some, HDR support is basic
Choosing a gaming monitor at any price point is typically a balancing act, with users having to identify the features that matter most, while attempting to minimise the various drawbacks inherent to modern display technologies.In the sub-£500 space, M...

There are a lot of very impressive gaming monitors out the right now. MSI set out to create a gaming monitor that offers up just about every feature a gamer could want, while also aiming for a price that most PC gamers can realistically afford. Yes, it is...
Pros, UHD (aka 4K) native resolution, Large 31.5-inch screen, Optional In-Windows OSD utility, Mini-joystick menu controller, Solid port selection
Cons, Modest 60Hz refresh rate, No support for adaptive sync
Bottom LineWith features geared to casual gaming, paired with the high resolution, large screen, and color coverage of a productivity monitor, MSI's Optix MAG321CURV is a decent, price-aggressive fit for both worlds: working by day, playing by night...
Great performance in both gaming and productivity tasks, Well-refined software, VESA compatible
Stand lacks feature for swivel and cable management, RGB lighting is more of a gimmick and is sort of pointless
The MSI Optix MAG321CQR offers great performance not only for gaming, but also productivity and entertainment. It has a well-thought out feature set, and the software is quite refined. Some things could've been made better, such as the stand's lack of fea...

GOOD CONTRAST AND BRIGHTNESS LEVELS, DECENT ERGONOMICS, GREAT BUILD QUALITY, GOOD ANTIMOTION BLUR IMPLEMENTATION, ADAPTIVE SYNC SUPPORT, REFINED MSI GAMING OSD, GOOD CONNECTIVITY OPTIONS
GAMMA CURVES COULD BE BETTER, NO GAMMA OPTION, SCREEN UNIFORMITY, VIEWING ANGLES
The Optix MAG321CQR is overall a rock solid 144Hz curved gaming monitor from MSI. Despite its flaws, it managed to impress us with its build quality, set of features and a VA panel that does the designated job just fine. That includes the much appreciated...
