Product Manuals
Q: Does the Hdmi that comes with this support 120hz or do I need to buy one seperatly.
A: It comes with an hdmi cable and displayport cable. The monitor supports hdmi 2.0 and display 1.4 I am only using the displayport cable it came with. I am able to achieve 144fps on 1440p using display port, but Im sure hdmi 2.0 is able to achieve the same results. If the hdmi cable doesnt say 2.0 or your not achieveing the same results hdmi 2.0 is capable of, you might have to buy the 2.0 cable.
Q: Are there USB ports on the back? How many?
A: There are no USB ports on this monitor.
Q: How well will this work with NVIDIA graphics card? Compatible now right?
A: I use a 2080 Super on mine and it looks amazing. Didn't have any issues when setting up the monitor, and displays amazing picture.
A: This is just a monitor. Not a PC.
Q: How many HDMI ports does this monitor have?
A: The Optix MAG27CQ comes equipped with one HDMI port. https://www.msi.com/Monitor/Optix-MAG27CQ/Specification
Q: Can you plug in speakers directly to the monitor?
A: Yes it does plug in to the monitor.
Q: Would this support 120 frames on ps5?
A: Yes, it will. The monitor is a 1440p 144hz monitor. If you only plan to use the 1080p 120hz option for your PS5 and don't have a PC or don't plan on getting one, just get a 1080p 120hz monitor as it will save you some money.
