MSI G274QPF QD

Product Information

Is standard calibration using something like Xrite i1display calibrator enough to decrease the oversaturation and gamma of this monitor to a normal, more natural level while still covering a big percentage of the AdobeRGB gamut?

Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image. Adobe RGB (1998) is a color space, developed by Adobe Systems in 1998. It has a wider gamut than the sRGB (mainly in the cyan-green range of colors) and is widely used in professional printing. What impressed me, especially when switching to more cinematic games like Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered and Resident Evil 4 on PC, was just how crisp and vibrant the image quality is. The Rapid IPS panel deployed here is more than the 'Rapid' part of the description; it's also all about impressive color accuracy, contrast level, and the crispness you get from an excellent IPS panel. MSI has put most of the focus on the panel when designing the MSI G274QPF-QD - and that's a choice we can get behind. Final Thoughts 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.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. If you're interested in going down the ultrawide path and feel that format is right for you, you've made a great decision. In our opinion, the QD-OLED ultrawides are some of the best HDR gaming screens available today. We also personally appreciate the 21:9 format for its superior immersion compared to standard 16:9 monitors, although it's not for everyone. Often even a higher peak luminance can be achieved under certain conditions. For example, when a smaller area/APL of the display is used for showing a bright object, when a bright object is displayed for a short time, etc. We tested the monitor with the PS5's new variable refresh rate feature and confirmed that it's not compatible, since the PS5 only supports HDMI Forum VRR. The Gaming menu offers five picture modes, four of which are game-type specific. User is the default and best mode and requires only that you set brightness to taste. A Night Vision option tweaks shadow detail for better visibility. Response Time is a three-level overdrive. The Fast (middle) setting is best.

The ratio between the horizontal and the vertical side of the display. Some of the standard and widely used aspect ratios are 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10. The storage temperature shows the range from a minimum to a maximum temperature, within which storing of the display is considered to be safe. If you're after a standard 16:9 monitor, the choice, in our opinion, is between three options: the Asus ROG Swift PG27AQDM, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7, and the LG C2 OLED TV in a 42-inch size. Each offers something different, and the right one for you may come down to factors such as size, resolution, and format. Firstly, high-quality gadgets and technology products tend to be more reliable. This means that they are less likely to break down or malfunction. When you’re relying on a product for an important task, such as work or communication, reliability is key. Investing in a high-quality MSI G274QPF-QD Quad HD 27″ Quantum Dot Gaming Monitor can give you peace of mind and help you avoid frustrating situations where your device fails you. The Professional modes feature excellent accuracy out of the box, but you can still drill down to adjust image properties like Brightness, Contrast, Sharpness, and Color Temperature.The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen. 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. The 1440p monitor market continues to evolve rapidly, and we believe it's currently more challenging than ever to recommend products in this category due to the sheer number of options available. Let's begin with the budget 1440p category, which currently comprises medium refresh rate monitors within the 144-180Hz range.

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.Asus also delivers outstanding color calibration, which is often not the case with other competitive-focused gaming monitors; this strengthens the versatility of this display and its usability for all types of gaming. DCI P3 is a color space, introduced in 2007 by the SMPTE. It is used in digital cinema and has a much wider gamut than the sRGB. The operating altitude shows the maximum admissible altitude, at which the display will function flawlessly. Above this level it might not operate properly and/or might seize to function. Information about the minimum amount of time, in which the pixels change from one color to another. Very often the manufacturer provides the response time for transition from grey-to-grey (G2G). However, if you're interested in a true HDR product, there are some excellent options on the market these days. While they can be quite expensive, the experience they offer is outstanding. To determine which HDR monitor is best for you, we'd recommend first deciding between a regular 16:9 format or an ultrawide, then considering screen resolution and display technology.

We tweaked the RGB sliders and were able to lower the grayscale error by a tiny amount. However, we couldn’t notice this improvement with our naked eyes. Approximate width of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. 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.Updated the monitor to the latest firmware, and retested the accuracy out of the box with the new sRGB mode. Another important factor to consider is longevity. When you buy a high-quality MSI G274QPF-QD Quad HD 27″ Quantum Dot Gaming Monitor, you’re making an investment that is likely to last longer. Cheaper products may seem like a good deal at the time, but they are often made with lower-quality materials and are not designed to last as long. This means that you may end up having to replace your device sooner, which can end up costing you more in the long run. In the categories discussed so far, the focus has largely been on 27-inch 1440p monitors, which is where the best performance products are today. But for some gamers, 27 inches is just too small and that's where the 32-inch display format comes into play.
