Hallo, schaue deine Videos echt gerne super geile builds, informative und ausführliche Reviews mach weiter so!
Grüße aus Deutschland
Have a nice day all of you👍
Banger of a video fams, the monitor looks legit. Keep up the hard work
Great review mate! I’ve got the old 274-QRF version and have loved everything about it besides the price. Nice to know prices have come down as technology advances with SOME things (cough, Nvidia).
Which model do you think is better the mag 274qrf qd or g274qpf qd?
@@youknowwhoiam1412Cuál es la diferencia?
@@Raiex51son modelos distintos, el del vídeo es el modelo más reciente
Bummer that i just bought the 274QRF-QD right before the end of the year...but i must say that it has been a joy to use. I just need to get the colour calibrated on it. Other than price and the extra 5Hz, what else would you say are the biggest differences and potential reasons to upgrade from the one i just bought?
I know others have tested this monitor and found that the actual brightness was closer to 430 nits than the advertised 300 nits. I bought two of the monitors recently, and one of them had TERRIBLE color accuracy out of box. I went through the sRGB user settings to color calibrate, but I couldn't use my color calibration profile and HDR at the same time. Troubleshooting with MSI was unhelpful so I exchanged the monitor for another, and it was perfect out of box. A bunch of us got together for the launch of Diablo 4 and everyone unanimously agreed that the MSI G274 looked amazing with the HDR enabled, even compared to older high end gaming monitors that had higher specs on paper. Overall, highly recommended.
Hey dude, I just got this monitor and explorer for example looks really washed out and brown-gray, unless I adjust the colors in my driver settings. I think it should’nt be like that and that I don‘t get the colors and experience showed in this video. Any ideas what I could‘ve changed in the setting that it would look like that? Or should I get a new one?
@@mrpanther44 I think an outdated driver could have been the cause of my issue, but I spent over an hour trying to update it, and couldn't figure it out. I'd start with restoring your monitor to default using the buttons, then updating the driver. If that doesn't fix it or you can't figure out the driver update, I'd just get a replacement.
Awesome review! Keep up the great content. :D
Hey! Quick question here, the prices between this and the MAG are $50USD apart, which would you suggest for content creation / gaming? Been struggling with this decision for days!
great video guys, i was just looking at a new monitor
A better monitor than MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD and LG 27GP850-B? contrast
thank you very much
I saw this but the Older version on Costco for 220 bucks which looks like an absolute steal! And with USB C port it’s more impressive touch so I’ll be picking it up for sure and 27 inch screen is the sweet spot for my desk setup
I can’t seem to find this one, but found its older brother. Is the pass through worth the extra money?
Great review I just got 1 today and don't know how to turn it on and off so frustrating 😂
Does it have Windows Software for controlling the monitor settings like Acer/Asus Display Widgets?
Great review THX
Good review !👍
the monitor stand is the bomb
When is this monitor releasing in the US?
Hi! Excellent review. 👌. Do you know what happen if you want to play 1080p content or games?
1080p on a non-1080p monitor looks worse than on a 1080p monitor
Just got this monitor was wondering what are the best settings
nice review really helpful 👍
Glad it could help :)
Just picked up a refurb on ebay for $140USD and I'm really digging it. Only complaints are a little light bleed at the bottom and the blacks aren't very black.
Can't use the MSI app to set up the monitor and save profiles like the MAG version? Greetings.
Watching this review on my MSI MAG274QRF monitor
Hello! Thank you very much for your review! I found it through recommendations among the comments in a Reddit post.
I live in Russia, in the Far East, I apologize in advance if I wrote something wrong. On New Year's Day, discounts began at a local store, and I decided to choose two identical monitors for certain tasks with certain characteristics. I thought that the monitors would hang above each other on the NB-H180 bracket, and would be connected to the gaming video card via the Display Port. The lower (main monitor) will display daily tasks: games, surfing, photo and video editing (non-professional) and watching videos, sometimes working in a 3D editor. And the lower (additional) one will display the remote desktop of the virtual machine, a preview window of the photo/video editing result, as well as Skype / Discord etc. And sometimes I will connect other computers and laptops to these monitors for testing (via HDMI). I want both monitors 27" QHD (2560p1440) on an IPS matrix with a frequency of more than 144 Hz, preferably with G-Sync support. Why two are the same? The second should not be cool - so the perfectionist in me will be satisfied. Moreover, in the future, if If I don’t like something, I can change the configuration by placing the monitors in a row, or give one of the two to my girlfriend.
Now I use an Acer Nitro VG252QPbmiipx and a simple cheap 23.8" FHD 75Hz monitor. They are in a row now, and because of the difference in diagonal and frequency, my eyes get tired. I would get another Acer, but they are not on sale. So I don’t want to take similar ones.
In my city there are models suitable for my tasks:
AOC Q27G2S/EU price ~280 USD ;
MSI G274QPF (non QD) price ~300 USD ;
Philips Evnia 27M1N5500ZA/00 price ~350 USD.
Besides them, there are also monitors from Asus, Gigabyte, Xiaomi, LG and CoolerMaster, but almost everyone criticizes them. Frequent marriage or matrix is worse than those chosen.
I've been sitting and biting my nails for a week now (from the stress of torment of choice).
Could you please advise which monitor should I get?
Happy New Year!
I understand that you may not respond, but I still appreciate this review. Like and subscribe.
If suddenly someone can help or recommend some articles/forums (in case I missed something) I will be glad!
I would recommend against using this in hdr in any way. It has literally none of the proper hardware for real hdr. No local dimming, no dimming zones, very low brightness, terrible blacks, and a bad contrast ratio fro hdr. Sdr this is a solid monitor but no one should buy this for hdr use.
I was planning to get this one but the regular version that doesn’t have QD but does have Wide Color Gamete but regardless I just want a monitor with decent quality screen, everything else I’m not worried about but it’s cool that it also has usb C port
@@Obikenobi93HD do you got it? How is it?
Thank you for the review. I bought the monitor here in Spain, I'll tell you something when I got it.
How is it?
@@kingpopo1872 he didnt say something when he got it :(
Sad
@@mitzfuentes6764 hi, i had to return one unit, dead pixel. Now I have a new one and it's amazing. 300-400€ worth it.
@Nesarius People are waiting for your feedback compadre
Does this monitor support 2k/120 fps & 1080/120 fps on xbox series x ?
Can you do a review on the gigabyte m32qc? 😄
Hello - I just bought this monitor primarily to play DMZ. I'm excited. How did you like playing DMZ on this monitor? Thanks advance
Hello, are you satisfied with this monitor? How are the colors and quality of the images in the games?
Hey mate, where can I purchase this monitor from in Australia? I can only seem to find the MSI G274QPF-QD 27... Is that the same monitor? Specs look identical.
It's exactly the same. That's same model number in the video title as well ;)
Do you have any experience with the Gigabyte M27Q and, if so, how do you think this monitor compares?
Gigabyte hasn't sent us anything in a while
The M27Q is a very good monitor
It's sad that you don't use a display calibrator when testing a monitor. You have a good and kind review, but it doesn't say much to the buyer about this monitor. We heard more here your subjective opinion. Thanks anyway. Could you please tell which panel is used in this monitor? (Model P/N)
If you're after super in depth reviews like mentioned I recommend having a watch of Monitors Unboxed's videos as well. 😊
Brother im in the market for a 1440P monitor for my GPU, using a curved 27" 1080P right now. Is it a smart play to pull the trigger on this brand new and will I be burning because i'm moving away from a curved monitor?
As you mentioned, for the specs, I definitely think this will sell out as well.
G-Sync compatibility heavily influences my decision so curved 27" 1440P options are limited/costly in Australia ($800+) as you would know.
I live in Australia and all the other options i was considering or that are reccomended are always $200 - $300 more so i said screw it and gambled on this
@@Magama567 yeah brother I feel you, i pulled the trigger on this today this review just g'd it up further
@@erksk1742 After 4 months has the monitor held up well? After this review I've heavily considered pulling the trigger on this monitor as well.
@@toxicSonder mate I have no regrets best thing I've bought recently would buy another again in a heart beat
I was planning to get the QRFQD but will just wait for this.
What you have now bro
@@knowwork9 using an AOC ultrawide lol
@@Le_Mon9 oh its va 😓
Any remarks about IPS glow or bleeding? I would like to know if there is any in this model. Im aware that is lottery but Im asking about your unit. Thank you very much.
It is a luck thing. Dont buy this model.
@@irsshill4502which model should we buy then???
@@knowwork9 Dell, Acer, and Red Dragon have a lower probability of failure. Specially Dell.
I got a 1440p 165Hz 32inch LG for $200 on Black Friday.
At hdmi 2.0 , dose it support 2k on 180hz ?
Can I plug my PS5 or Xbox Series X to it???
6:04 these panels have a "nighttime mode" that auto-adjusts brightness based on what you see on the screen. I'm willing to put money on this feature being responsible for the weird brightness swing.
Can anyone help me for this monitor calibraiton ?
how i turn off this monitor?
Hello! Any chance to know what panel exactly is used in this monitor? I mean AU or BOE or Innolux or something else?
AU optronix
BOE is used in the non QD version
@@dzyrgaming5976 where did you get such information that the qd version has a panel from AUO
Still worth now ?
I got the m27q-p on sale for $512 Aussie bucks :) feel kinda scammed that the MSI launch price is less and they have similar specs, however I have got no problems so far and the
M27q-p ticks all my boxes other than the fat logo up front 😂
Hey does your explorer and your settings app also look light gray-brownish?
nope? I don't see anything wrong with mine :)@@mrpanther44
Would you say this is better than the Gigabyte M27Q? Honestly I've narrowed my options down to these two and I am stuck! Please help.
what happened bro what did u buy?
I went for this MSI. Honestly, it's the best purchase i have ever made. Insane monitor for £449. @7m.Exilio
I notice my MAF274QRF-QD doing some automatic HDR kinda like when playing videos (CZcams, Netflix, etc). I already make sure the Windows and Monitor HDR mode is already OFF. Anyone experience this or know how to solve this problem?
It's a little bit annoying since-if it's not too much HDR activated-the monitor acting like blinking.
Thank you for the help.
Which model do you think is better the mag 274qrf qd or g274qpf qd?
@@youknowwhoiam1412 I haven't research about g274qpf since it's a new model and I bought MAG274QRF-QD already. sorry~
@@muhammaddio9925 do you know when g274qpf released? this year or last year?
do u still notice hdr kinda like when playing videos youtube,netflix on your monitor? and how its been so far? do u recommend this monitor get in 2023? bcs i am planning to get soon one but difficult to decide whether getting MSI MAG274QRF-QD or g274qpf-qd?
question totally unrelated to monitors:
is it possible to replace the included top-mounted AIO that comes with the Cooler Master NR200P MAX case with the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280mm?
I want to get the best cooling for my CPU and wouldn't mind buying this AIO and selling the included one.
If you have both of these components on hand, could you find out if it will fit? I'm not sure because the Arctic has a thicker radiator.
I've done research online about this and couldn't find any example of it in an actual build.
I would say yes except that I don't have an Arctic cooler to test. The CM cooler is pretty standard in dimensions so as long as it's the same or similar it should fit.
@@GearSeekers thank you, i'll have to test it for myself I guess.
What video cable did the monitor bring? Display Port or HDMI ?
both
this is a great goddanm monitor i bought it a couple days ago.
Do you use it with a series x by any chance ?
Got really bad motion blur with mine and have tried everything, can anyone help?
U fix it?
Can you play with it with 120hz refresh rate on a 1440p setup for ps5 even though you only use hdmi 2.0?
Same question here ... Any new info ?
Yes you can. But keep in mind, you need to use the correct HDMI cable for this. Ones that is done, you can change the resolution (or it will do that automatically, idk) in the PS5 settings.
Hi I also have this monitor, and also have the problem that you have at 6:04.. while HDR enabled, does anyone know how to resolve this issue? It also comes up in Diablo 4 and other games. The screen flashes to white in certain areas only....☹
Sorry to hear that.Someone said that this thing happens even with HDR mode disabled. Is this true?
@@ytctuser Actually it only happens with HDR on for me.🤔
@@Markusz925 Sorry,I got the monitors mixed up.The person with the HDR set to off issue was talking about it's older brother,the MAG274QRF-QD.MSI and their stupid names.I do hope they fix this problem with a firmware update.Also hope that they can do something about the minimum brightness as well,as I heard it was very high for dark room viewing.
@@ytctuserjust tell me bro did they solved it
@knowwork9 I have no idea.
Is the Nvidia Gsync logo removeable?
Just a sticker
what is better than MSI G274QPF-QD ? or MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD ???
I have the same question
Did you find out
@@NeBaL4 did you find out
MSI G274QRF-QD is better, the MSI G274QPF-QD is a trimmed version.
Usually Mag has been better than G series on MSI. But this both are co-related… that means they almost have the same specs (except the screen and refresh rate) but almost all functionality can be equalized by the G successor. I got the MSI G series and. Gygabyte m27q pro (because the LG screen) to complete my x2 2k set and they both work splendid and made my workflow too much easier…
I found the same monitor but without the QD is that still the same?
did u buy it?
the HDR is false and missleading ...do not have true hdr
How does it compare performance wise against LG 27GP850-B?
A bit late but after buying both I can tell you the msi has better contrast and more vibrant colors right out the box, reviews said lg has faster response times and while i could notice it in UFO test in game the msi set on normal overdrive is just good enough for me, cannot notice a difference
@@tether23bro im still confusing between these two monitors and third one is viewsonic.. How is it with you if you have a good knowledge in monitor
@@knowwork9MSI better but you have to be careful with backlight bleed
@@tether23 im between this and benq mobiuz ex2710q if you have idea help me im really lost man and (this msi dose comes with 10bin or not?)
@@knowwork9 i do get 10 bit over dp. I think this is the most monitor you can get under $300, not familiar with the benq so cannot really advice there
Has anyone here tested wether this monitor supports VRR on PS5 ? I think that you absolutely need HDMI 2.1 to get VRR but I've also heard that some 2.0 still support VRR so I'd like a input?
No unfortunately .. only xbox can support vrr with hdmi 2.0
@@Ryan_tremaine_klarenbach I know but did you test it to be 100% sure?
@@adonbanchamek2254 yeah you can get the 4k signal at 60hz but no vrr tho sadly the only way you can obtain vrr is by having hdm 2.1 which this monitor doesn’t support
@@Ryan_tremaine_klarenbach thank you for your help. As I said in my previous comment some rare PS5 owners who own a 2.0 display can still get VRR, so I wanted to be sure. Hate Sony's VRR implementation on PS5
@@adonbanchamek2254 anytime man yeahh i agree it sucks ..
i have 7900xtx. can i use the gsync comp
It's just adaptive sync so FreeSync will work too
Gsinc ist only with Nvidia cards
‘G Sync compatible’ and freesync are the same thing.
I got 2 red pixels and it just feels really cheap
I bought it on Amazon for 205 euro month ago 😊❤
love this monitor my only issue that im on xbox series x and for some reason it doesn't let me play at 1440p 120hz, other than that it is honestly a great monitor.
Tengo el mismo problema aunque el monitor es compatible con 1440p a 120
Pudiste solucionarlo ?
Are you using a displayport or hdmi?
Hdmi 2.0 del monitor y 2.1 del cable del Xbox
@@DavidPerez-fc8ho Pudiste solucionarlo? He visto que es necesario poner la consola en resolucion 1440p para que lo detecte, y no en 4k. O ponerlo en 4k y 60 fps. No recuerdo bien, pero con aldo de eso se soluciona.
Have you found a solution yet ??
Just bought it and damn 27 inch is really big coming from a laptop

Hello neighbour =D this monitor or the gigabyte m27q.
Someone looks like he’s been on the camo grind 😉
Only 7 days on play time 🤣
Finally, a gaming monitor that doesn't look like a gaming monitor! I agree about RGB on monitors, it's kinda dumb/gimmicky.
Also, finally a nice gaming monitor that doesn't have the huge/wide V-shaped stand/feet! I have a relatively small desk and need a small stand. I'm looking into getting a monitor arm to clamp on to the back of the desk so that the stands won't be an issue. Do y'all have any recommendations on a monitor arm setup? Preferably one with up to 2 arms so I can put dual monitors on it.
According to RTINGS the QRF is the better monitor.
