What customers say about "Features"
MSI Optix MPG27CQ Curved Gaming Monitor
- Build quality is very strong and sturdy. I was worried because of the small bezels, but everything is super sturdy.
- This monitor has a lot of settings to pick from within the intuitive UI menu accessible from the rear joystick like button.
- The monitor is easy to connect and adjust. Very convenient OSD joystick.
- The RGB lights on the bottom of the monitor are distracting and don’t have many game sync options.
- VESA mount 100 x 100mm is very misleading. The manufacturer provides virtually zero guidance.
MSI Optix MAG27CQ Curved Gaming Monitor
- In conclusion, this monitor is a reasonable price for the features it packs.
- MSI added the feature of allowing the stand to adjust up and down.
- Nice stand which adjusts for the correct height.
- I have to say though that my favorite feature of the monitor is the curve.
- Great features and value. The 2k gamers dream.

- You get 1 DP, and 2 HDMI connections, which is enough for everybody's setup.
- Monitor has super speed USB type A to USB type B.
- With an HDMI 2.0 connection could get 120hz and the free sync working well.
- The biggest cons for me in this display is lack of DVI port.

- Amazing 2K monitor. Lots of good connections.
- Good monitor, good and durable connect.
- Great connect, easy setup, good manual.
