MSI Optix G273QPF 27" Black 2021
The MSI Optix G273QPF delivers excellent 1440p performance, color accuracy, and a smooth 165 Hz refresh rate, making it a favorite for gaming and productivity. However, several buyers report reliability issues like dead pixels, missing screws, and a common "no input" failure after about 11 months, requiring costly shipping for RMA. The adjustable stand and sleek design are praised, but the lack of PS5 HDR support and a few quality-control problems temper overall enthusiasm.
Pros
- Excellent 1440p image quality
- Great value for the price
- Smooth 165 Hz refresh rate
- Adjustable ergonomic stand
- Crisp colors and deep blacks
Cons
- Common "no input" failure after months
- Dead pixels out of the box
- Missing screws in new condition
- No HDR support on PS5
- Costly RMAs due to shipping
