The operating humidity shows the acceptable level of humidity, in which the display will function flawlessly. It sets a lower and an upper humidity level for safe operation and is measured in percentage. When purchasing an HDR monitor, the usual caveats apply when researching the range of HDR options available. Exercise caution with products that advertise HDR without actually offering any genuine HDR capabilities. These monitors (often advertised as DisplayHDR 400) simply aren't worth buying or considering in any regard. The MSI G274QPF-QD is compatible with both FreeSync and G-Sync for tear and stutter-free gaming. This is a must-have feature now since both GPU brands have excellent 1440p cards at various price points. Input lag sits at 4ms at 170Hz, so it’s suitable for high-level competitive play. Thoughts on the MSI G274QPF-QD Calibrating the monitor reduced its dE average to 1.97, which is decent for an affordable gaming monitor. That score looks better if calibrated in relation to DCI-P3, showing an impressive 0.67 score. However, you will need a colorimeter to achieve results like this since no amount of copying ICC profiles or settings will guarantee identical scores. The G272QPF doesn’t require calibration and does not benefit from adjustments to the user color temp. The default, Normal, is nearly perfect with no visible errors. Gamma runs a tad light and there are no presets to change it which is a bummer. The default color gamut covers 92% of DCI-P3 so by the specs, it’s too large for SDR content. If you want sRGB, that option is available in the Professional menu. Choosing it grays out other picture controls but allows you to change brightness.

Size class of the display as declared by the manufacturer. Often this is the rounded value of the actual size of the diagonal in inches.Previously to access this refresh rate, you'd have needed a 1080p display, which isn't the best these days. With the PG27AQN you get a higher 1440p resolution, delivering a sharper image and additional versatility as this is also a great monitor for single player games thanks to its pixel density and excellent IPS color quality.

The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively. The MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD doesn’t require calibration and, in fact, does not really benefit visually from adjustment. In the default User mode, which has the Normal color temp, it hits the marks as well as any factory-calibrated screen we’ve tested.From the front, the G272QPF sports a thin bezel that lends itself well to multi-screen setups. With such a low price, the prospect of three 27-inch screens on the desk is attractive. The MSI logo appears in the center in a polished finish with nothing else visible except a tiny power LED. It glows white when the power’s on and orange in standby mode. For the ultimate 4K monitor, we believe HDR options must be considered, with several choices available. Real HDR comes at a several hundred dollar premium, but in some instances, this is definitely worth it for the visual upgrade, especially for those after the very best.
