Q: Does this monitor have speakers?

A: The Optix G271 monitor does not have built in speakers.

Q: With a Ps5 I want a HDMI 2.0-2.1 to run at least 120fps… is the hdmi 2.0 at least? Thanks in advance

A: The Optix G271 is equipped with HDMI 1.4b ports. https://www.msi.com/Monitor/Optix-G271/Specification

Q: How do i adjust the brightness for this monitor? i cant find anything that can adjust the brightness

A: There is a little joystick on the back of the monitor (bottom right) you can click to open the monitors control panel. You'll need to thumb through to image settings and brightness is in that tab. Hope that helps. (I've also included a few pictures for visual aid)

Q: How do I set 120Hz or 144Hz? When I tried to set it then the screen blacked and says “No Signal”. When I set it back to 60Hz then it comes back. And I used HDMI. How to solve this problem? I use this monitor as extending from my laptop.

A: is your gpu capable of 120-144hz? a common misconception of buyers of 144hz monitors is that it will display 144hz regardless of their pc's capabilities. if your graphics card isn't capable of 144hz, the monitor will not display such. although, this shouldn't be causing a loss of signal. make sure your cable connections are secure. it could also be possible you have an old hdmi cable incapable of handling 144hz.

Q: This is a gaming computer correct? I'm looking for one for my son.

A: This is only a monitor, not a full computer. But it is specialized for gaming.
