MSI G274QPF-QD

[Adam1984]

Hi, I game casually and like to have decent visuals, mainly fps and some sim and sports games. This monitor is about my budget, would you recommend it?

I just ordered one of these yesterday - it hasn't come in yet so I can't say definitively. It was in hardware unboxed most recent 1440p gaming monitor video.

 

 

I will say, on Amazon you have to pay shipping for this particular item so regardless of where you buy it, it should work out to 250-280 dollar (USD) monitor.

I recently just got gigabytes M27Q (the updated model of the G27Q in the video above) for (from what i can find about american prices) about 1/3 less than the MSI one, same refresh rate, lower response time, same resolution, same size and only a slightly worse color gamut, would recommend

Yeah I was looking at that one, it always gets a mention so I know its a good monitor. Does the msi one having quantum dot make much difference in terms of image quality?

I can certainly let you know what I think. Should be a nice upgrade from my Asus VG278QR!

Quantum Dot allows the MSI the extra color gamut, its a technology that offers almost unparalled color space for the price, however its slower, hence the Gigabyte having half (0.5ms vs 1ms) the response time

 

Its colour vs speed essentially

I went from a 1080p 165Hz to a 1440p 170Hz HDR monitor yesterday. The change is astounding. Im sure youll like it
