Reviewer score 72% (normalized by Neofiliac) MSI Optix MAG272CQR is a decent upgrade over the previous MSI gaming solution. It increases the frequency range, offers greater display control, and now a USB hub. It's cheaper than the MAG27CQ was at launch which is unusual for new tech. Samsung VA panel isn't the best we've tested or as fast as a TN technology panel for gaming, but it's more than adequate for most PC gamers.
Pros
- HDR Ready
- Good value for money
Cons
- No G-Sync support
- Lack of RGB lighting

Reviewer score 55% (normalized by Neofiliac)MSI Optix MAG272CQR is a 27-inch curved gaming monitor with a 1440p resolution and 165Hz refresh rate. It comes complete with AMD's FreeSync adaptive syncing technology. The Samsung-supplied panel boasts static contrast performance of 3,000:1. However, with a peak brightness of just 300cd/m2 this isn't a true HDR display.
Pros
- Fantastic build quality
- Bright, punchy colors
Cons
- Poor pixel response
- No local dimming

Reviewer score 80% (normalized by Neofiliac)The MAG272CQR has plenty of native contrast and doesn't need help from simulated or dynamic contrast. Brightness is locked at maximum, so it's not possible to reduce output. Adaptive-Sync worked equally well when paired with an AMD graphics card or an Nvidia one to use unofficial G-Sync.
Pros
- High native contrast with deep blacks and bright highlights
- HDR simulation is easy to use
Cons
- No sRGB mode
- No HDR simulation
