Reviewer score 37% (normalized by Neofiliac)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
