Customer Ratings & Reviews

[Employee of bestbuy] Is a pretty solid pick for the price 2k definition and 180hz for 189$ is a really good price and it has really nice features. Yes it doesn't have G-sync nor free Sync but they include Adaptive sync and it works perfectly fine. Biside that you have HDR and 27 inches on a curve monitor. The only thing I would add as an improvement would be a smaller base because the one that comes with it i really big.

The monitor has worked well, and the overall picture clarity is great. The resolution size and awesome stand allow for great adjustment. My biggest downside is the overall settings. All these new features are pretty lackluster and normally not really usable, as they tend to either completely wash out or destroy color and depth. So, all the fancy advertised features like AI enhancements really just seem more like a marketing tool than an actual necessary feature, as they tend to ruin colors and over-sharpen. Using manual controls and standard color settings and keeping things fairly default, the overall monitor experience is great. However, as soon as you try to utilize all these fancy features, they just don't seem to make the picture any better beyond just saturating certain colors or washing things out woth added sharpining.

Very vibrant colors, very fast response time, really good picture quality. If you’re scared of buying a monitor with a VA panel due to ghosting, don’t be scared when it comes to this monitor. Once you turn on adaptive sync, this thing is as smooth as butter. This is well worth the money

The MSI Gaming Monitor seems to be an excellent choice for gamers such as Myself who prioritize build quality and image clarity. With its superb construction, the monitor not only promises durability but also adds a sleek, professional look to any gaming setup. The standout feature, however, appears to be its pixel quality. Outstanding pixel performance ensures sharp, vibrant visuals that enhance gaming experiences, making details pop and providing a more immersive experience. Whether you're gaming or consuming media, this monitor delivers both aesthetically and functionally, making it a highly recommended choice for those looking to upgrade their display. I am loving it so far!

Great monitor for gaming , immediately was able to tell a difference in refresh rate and quality. Buying another for my second monitor !

Excellent, it's a great option. I use it for productivity and for gaming and the screen adjustment system is the big plus

This is a pretty good gaming monitor that didn't break the bank and it had everything I was looking for. My games are running pretty great on this and I love the color clarity

This monitor is so awesome I love so much, the quality and resolution is the best for the price

Pretty good monitor, refresh speed is amazing for 2k

THIS PRODUCT IS FALSY ADVERTISED. Paying more money for a lower grade monitor. The description claims this monitor to be an LED monitor but, it's actually an LCD monitor. Package was delivered and on the manual AND on the actual monitor says it's an LCD monitor. I notified Best Buy that there's likely a mistake on their website but, reassured me that an LED monitor is available and will be sent out only to receive ANOTHER LCD monitor. No compensation was offered and I called them out on their false advertisement and NOTHING was done. Be careful and make sure you're receiving the product that YOU paid for. Incredible lack of accountability and needed this for my work. What a shame. If they don't update their info, I'll be convinced that they'll be deliberately be scamming people.

Received in August and after 3 months, the bottom right corner of the monitor no longer works and just has the Window's notification bell in the corner constantly. Pretty disappointing to receive a monitor that doesn't work for even a full 3 months.

This is a newer monitor going for cheaper then displays from 2-3 years ago and with much better specs. The rapid VA is legit this will produce cleaner motion then most IPS panels and the input latency seems quick. I don't have the means to measure input latency but my input just felt more precise on this display so I'm curious to see when someone does test with input latency measurements. Being a VA panel it doesn't have the terrible IPS glow so you'll see details in dark places better with this then a typical budget IPS monitor, but or way cheaper price. This might not be a 240hz+ ultra competitive e-sports display pro league gaming but this is an exceptional deal for anyone who just likes to play competitively without breaking the bank for the most expensive display and machine to push 300 fps. You could go for a 1080p TN higher fps but this will give you better image clarity with a sufficient refresh rate to hang around in platinum leagues in whatever game you play. Only negative is the colors aren't vibrant as an IPS, but you get contrast in exchange. sRGB mode uplifted the colors to look better than my IPS but it comes at the cost of dark zones looking too dark to see enemies in a game. Best bet is to switch in and out of sRGB based on what you're playing or watching.

Got this for our teenage son for his gaming PC and Xbox series X and he couldn’t be happier. I chose this as it is one of only a few HDR gaming monitors that supports the Xbox with 2k @ 120hz and the PC @ 180hz. Being a curved VA panel it’s viewing angels are not good, however when centered in front of the display the images are pristine.

[Employee of bestbuy] Cheap does not always equal bad, It runs at 1440-144hz and partners with my computer or Xbox flawlessly. The HDR is satisfactory but the quality is top-notch.

Has a good picture and color, wouldn’t mind if it had one more HDMI, however I only paid $159 for it and I wanted a fast response VA panel. It’s been a great monitor and I love it. My only complaint is the stand. It requires about 11” of depth so if you have a monitor shelf of the stand 8” or so you will need to buy an aftermarket stand. Fortunately it uses the standard 100x100 VESA mount so that it easy to do.

Very good screen quality, very good image, good hrz

This monitor is a steal for its price. Super fast response time and great contrast and picture clarity. I got this to exclusively play FPS games on PS5, and I can almost say its better than some IPS panels out there. It does require some tinkering with some settings to get nice colors (COD Warzone). Overall, best bang for your buck!

The MSI MAG27CQ6PF is a fantastic option for gamers who want a fast, immersive, and visually appealing experience without breaking the bank. It nails the essentials: high refresh rate, quick response time, and a crisp 1440p resolution with great contrast. If you're ready to dive into curved gaming and prioritize performance for the price, this monitor is definitely worth a serious look.

I just got this today my first gaming monitor ever and wow it’s so smooth the 180 hz is great and the colors look amazing and it being curved give it a nice feel it was also easy to assemble

Nice colors and quality gaming monitor. Fast and beautifull. Very pleased.
