Reviewer score 37% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from rtings have found:
The MSI Optix G27CQ4 is very good for gaming because it has a high refresh rate with VRR support. Its low input and quick response time deliver a responsive gaming experience, but some motion blur is visible with fast-moving objects. It's decent for office use thanks to its high peak brightness and good reflection handling. It has terrible ergonomics and narrow viewing angles, making it harder to share the screen with someone else.
Pros
  • High refresh rate with VRR support
  • Good reflection handling
  • Low input lag and quick response time
  • Bright enough to combat glare in well-lit rooms
Cons
  • Narrow viewing angles
  • Disappointing ergonomics
  • No local dimming feature
