Product Overview

MSI Optix G27C5 is a affordable 27-inch FHD 1500R-curved gaming monitor in MSI's 2020 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit VA panel.
Its 1500R curvature provides a more immersive visual experience. In terms of color reproduction, one can expect above average performance. Additionally, this monitor can get quite contrasty.
In terms of drawbacks, this monitor lacks HDR support, comes with limited adjustments, and is not very bright. Further, the 8-bit panel is rather limiting in terms of color reproduction.

Reviewer score 37% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from rtings have found:
The MSI Optix G27C5 is an okay overall monitor. It performs best as a gaming monitor because it has an incredibly low input lag, FreeSync VRR support, and good response time. It's alright to use in an office, but its 1080p resolution, narrow viewing angles, and bad ergonomics might not be for everyone.
Pros
  • Incredibly low input lag
  • Good reflection handling
  • Decent contrast ratio
  • Great response time at its max refresh rate
Cons
  • Narrow viewing angles
  • Bad ergonomics
  • No HDR support
