Customers have good things to say about the picture quality, refresh rate, and color accuracy of the Optix 27" LED Curved QHD FreeSync Monitor. Many appreciate the monitor's value for its price and the vibrant graphics it produces. A few customers noted minor backlight bleed, and the lack of built-in speakers was also mentioned as a drawback. Overall, the positive feedback on image quality and affordability outweighs the reported minor issues.

    This monitor is Excellent! The curve is so nice, great for the new generations of consoles and for even the most beafy PC's. The menu is easy to go through, not overly complicated. Easy setup out of the box. Wish it had more HDMI ports as it only has 1, that would be the only issue i have with this monitor, other than that, its excellent!

    This monitor has had no dead pixels or issues.. this is a 1440 and I have only had 1080s.. big difference. Looks great. A lot of people said they had to mess with the colors but I didn’t have any issues. Also the curve screen took a day or two to get used to but it’s awesome and I actually ended up really liking it. 10/10 would recommend for the price. Always check on amazon because I was able to drop the price by like 20$ because of Best Buy’s price match!

    This is a nice 27 inch 1440p monitor. I upgraded from a 24 inch 1080p monitor from MSI and I wouldn't go back. I can't seem to find any dead pixels, it was easy to set up, and the red lighting on the back of the monitor is a nice touch. I've owned this monitor for a few months and haven't found any issues or defects with it.

    I purchased this monitor for use with an RTX 3060 PC build. The image quality is exaclty what I had hoped for. This is my first curved monitor and I wasn't sure how I would feel about it, but the general size of this monitor and what I use it for makes the curve a plus. Arrived on time and set up was easy.

    I’m loving the refresh rate and resolution on this monitor. Movies and YouTube look alright for a monitor and blacks are decent. Csgo and a couple other FPS titles I’ve played on it really make the high refresh rate shine. I’d give it a 5 but depending on what I’m playing or watching there is some noticeable backlight bleed on the bottom bezel of my unit so I have to take it down a peg.

    Bought this monitor as a gaming monitor, but I use it for everything business related too. Excellent for video conferencing, large spreadsheets, email, Power Point, etc. Now, if I just had time to play games on it! Using it as the second monitor to my work laptop. I use it as the primary screen most often.

    So far excellent. No stuck pixels, and great picture quality for this price range. Included display port cable is a bit short if you have your monitor on an arm mount. Extension screws are included(VESA won't work without them) for mount, and should be in the bag with manual.

    Not for PS5 users

    For my ps5 users, not all 1440p monitors will be able to downscale 4k! This is a feature that is built into the software of the monitor, and Sony currently only supports 1080 and 4k. Therefore, this monitor will run an upscaled 1080 which doesn’t look the best on a 1440 screen. If you want the high refresh rate, just go with a 1080 native monitor. If refresh rate isn’t that important, find a 60hz 4k monitor. OR, you can find a list of 1440p monitors that are capable of built in down/up scaling and go with one of those while we all wait and hope Sony begins supporting 1440 natively. Besides all of that, this monitor is a great budget monitor for any and all other cases. I know Xbox supports 1440p so nothing to worry about there. I tested it out with my M1 Mac and it looks fantastic. There is some light bleed and the colors aren’t the best, but do expect that in this price range for most monitors. The ergonomics are also great (height, swivel, etc). Despite it being an LED display, I found the viewing angles weren’t horrible. Not great! But definitely not bad. With all of that said, I would totally say go for it if it’s for anything besides a ps5. It’s a great “budget” option and should meet most people’s requirements.

    I'm using two 27" monitors side-by-side for video editing. I was told it would be easier if I had a curved screen instead of the flat ones. I caved and was surprised at the improvement. I should have done this a few years ago! The MSI Optix 27 is a very good machine - check out the specs.

    Over all a great monitor, colors are great has fast response time and looks good over all. No screen tearing and works great with pc and Xbox series S. Only problem I have it the fact the the HDMI and display Port are in an awkward spot but its just minor inconvenience.

    I was looking for my first QHD monitor for my new setup, and I have not been disappointed with this monitor. When I took it out of the box for the first time one of the screws was stripped, but after a little elbow grease and some frustration, I managed to get it out. All in all, the monitor is definitely worth the price.

    Purchased this monitor to go with new Cyberpower PC. Does not disappoint. Graphics are phenomenal and refresh rate is top notch. It has adjustable base for height and swivels side to side and angles up and down. The ref lights on the back of the monitor are also cool.

    Great monitor overall

    I like this monitor overall. The picture is crisp and met my expectation. There were no dead or stuck pixels, and there was no damage to the monitor (despite the box looking pretty rough when it arrived). This is my first curved monitor, and getting used to it was pretty quick. However, there are some strange things. The stand is horrible. It’s well made with quality materials, and matches the aesthetic of the display (and the MSI brand). But the max height is laughable. It’s basically a monitor with no height adjustment. I bought an aftermarket stand that virtually triples the max height, and it almost negates the sale price that BestBuy had at the time. It’s strange that at this price point, the monitor doesn’t have at least one USB port. It has two red light strips on the back that I guess are intended to give a backlight effect. I can barely see the backlight, even with all of the lights in room turned off. Luckily that isn’t a feature that I was looking for. All that to say, if you’re looking for a gaming monitor at 2K 144hz, this is a great one to consider.

    Performance, Quality, Visual. Everything is great with this monitor. I love it. High resolution. I connect my playstation/computer to this monitor and it is so much better for gameplay than a TV. I never want to go back to playing on a TV screen

    I purchased this monitor while in the market for a new desktop pc. While the price was more then I was intending to pay for a monitor, the value I got from it seems fair enough; especially given the 2 year warranty that comes included with the monitor. The size is quite large, fortunately it was a perfect fit for the space I had available and setup was a breeze. I was recommended this monitor by the clerk in the shop and I can see why he did so. In the future if I should have to buy another monitor I will certainly be looking into this brand.

    Love this monitor. Great for gaming however pls note that you technically only get 120 fps but if you optimizes your pc settings you can get up to 144 fps. Also there are no buttons to adjust the display settings. You have to do those things on the attached device.

    Fine for almost a year, but then issues began

    I give it a four because I suspect my issues were not typical for the monitor. For almost a year I loved it, then after a windows update, I suddenly started having flickering issues, that others also reported and traced to driver issues. The MSI website did not list a download driver for my model, but their customer support sent me one, and it worked well, until the next time windows updated. The third time, instead of flickering, it looked like it absolutely shattered, though it was not dropped, moved, etc. People reporting a similar issue indicated they discovered poor soldering connections, that only became an issue when the monitor was left on too long. (They didn't specify what too long meant). I think my issues were fairly unique. So if you get a good price on it, buy the extended warranty.
