My Gaming Optix MAG272CQR experience/review

[Michael.Techsource]

What's up folks, am new to the LTT forums, figured I'd stop by and share some of my experiences!
 

Since there are so many of you here rocking AMD cpu's and gpu's I figured this would be a great place to share my experience with the MSI Gaming Optix MAG272CQR free-sync monitor.   

This monitor is specifically made #ForEveryGamer who want the best of both worlds with an AMD system.   

It definitely packs a punch with Free-sync support at 165 herzz refresh rate, 1440p resolution, HDR, and 1ms response time which will please all your needs.   

The color accuracy and response time are spot on with this VA panel in comparison to other curved VA panels I've tested. The only thing I noticed is a small white glare on the top of the monitor with default settings but this can be tweaked out by using different scene profiles. 

In terms of build quality there are no complaints, everything feels of premium quality and the stand itself keeps the screen in place.  On top of that it has a collapsible headset hanger on the left and RGB aesthetics on the back.  

Viewing angles are not a problem because you can easily get the correct angle for your preference by turning the monitor up, down, forwards or backwards.   

And this is where it gets interesting because unlike many other monitors, this one can actually be controlled by the Gaming OSD app which essentially allows your phone to act as an remote for settings of all sorts. Pretty neat tbf.   

Priced at a around 400 bucks I'd say this monitor has it all for the expectations, the only thing I would want to recommend to MSI is to include G-sync support in future models in order to appeal to the whole crowd.   

I'll attach some pics down below for post for those who are interested. :)   

Thank you!
