About this product
The MSI Optix MAG272C is a 27-inch curved VA gaming monitor with 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time. It features 1920x1080 resolution, 3000:1 contrast ratio, and 300 nits brightness. Inputs include DisplayPort and USB-C. Priced at $170.00.
Our take
For $170, the Optix MAG272C is a great entry-level high-refresh monitor. The 240Hz VA panel delivers smooth motion and decent contrast, though the 1080p resolution is a bit low for 27 inches—pixel density isn't great. The curved design adds immersion, and the 1ms response time is responsive. USB-C is a nice bonus for modern laptops. However, color accuracy is average, and you won't get HDR performance. Overall, it's a solid budget option for competitive gamers who prioritize speed over resolution.
