Preamble:
When it comes to high-brush gaming monitors, I believe that many friends who like games are salivating over it, especially FPS players. In the past, 27-inch high-brush gaming monitors often cost as much as 2K or more, so many users with tight installation budgets chose to reduce the cost of the monitor and switch to accessories such as graphics cards and CPUs. Nowadays, with the intensification of competition in the gaming monitor market and the maturity of the computer screen industry chain, as long as you are in the early 1K, you can buy a 27-inch 180Hz high-brush Fast IPS 1ms gaming monitor produced by a first-line brand.
I saw MSI's MSI MAG 274QRFW gaming monitor on Aunt Zhang's good price channel, the price is only 1399, it can be said that this price is quite lethal, Ah Lu chopped one back for the installed user, and today I will unbox it to see how it performs.
Product unboxing:
The packaging of the kraft box is relatively simple, and the product highlights such as RAPID IPS, 170Hz refresh rate, 1ms GTG response, HDR READY high dynamic contrast, and multi-angle adjustment are marked below.
There is also how to install the monitor and how to properly handle the monitor on the inner box page, which is very intimate, if these operations are printed on the manual, I believe few people will look at it.
The inner packaging is also very stable, with a large area of white foam wrapping the display body.
The monitor base is connected to the stand with a tool-free design, and the base is equipped with a non-slip mat, which I believe any boy can complete the installation in 30 seconds.
The connection between the monitor and the stand is also very simple, just tighten the two paired screws.
Let's take a look at the true face of the MSI MAG 274QRFW monitor, the white bracket and the bottom bezel and the black screen form a strong visual impact, and the black and white combination always gives people a very good feeling. It would be nice if the MSi LOGO at the bottom had RGB, haha.
The monitor arm is equipped with a diamond-shaped line management control, and the desktop is no longer afraid of messy due to the soul wiring of the monitor, after all, it is now the trend of multi-purpose.
The monitor power button is located in the bottom right corner of the screen with a two-color indicator, orange when in standby and white when in use.
The input of the display is richer: 1*DP 1.4, 2*HDMI 2.0b, 3.5mm audio output interface, 3 video interfaces are enough for most users.
The screen supports vertical rotation ± 90 degrees, left and right rotation angles ± 45 degrees, and front and rear elevation angles of -5~20 degrees to meet the needs of users in different scenarios.
The back of the display fully reflects the designer's talent, and various lines intersect and cut, which greatly enhances the appearance of the display, and it is pleasing to the eye anywhere in the home.
Since it is a gaming monitor, how can you get RGB less, MSI MAG 274QRFW has a hidden RGB light strip embedded in the back, which fully satisfies you who like light pollution.
The red OSD stick in the lower left corner has a finishing touch, and it reminds me of the ThinkPad's signature little red dot, which can be said to have the same effect.
Introduction to the OSD menu:
Even in the 1K5 price segment of gaming monitors, MSI has not scaled back the OSD function, on the contrary, it has also given more new features, in addition to the OSD menu options are quite rich, in addition to the common multiple screen mode switching, there are also night vision, picture-in-picture switching and other functions.
The screen assistance of the signature is also indispensable,For me with CS rookie technology,Every time you start playing, you have to open this "plug-in",The so-called technology is not enough.,Equipment to make up.,Hehe.。
What is amazing is this night vision function,After you encounter a dark scene in the game after opening,It can significantly improve the brightness of the dark part of the game,It is recommended to use AI files,It can automatically adjust the brightness of the dark part according to the brightness of the game scene,Greatly improve the game experience。
Game Experience:
The screen display status of the five user modes (user, FPS, match, RTS, RPG) shows that the brightness and darkness of the screen and the details will change with the mode switch.
The aim assist crosshair has also been added to white and more forms to meet the needs of different game scenarios and user preferences.
It is also quite convenient to switch the color and type of the crosshair, and you can directly push up the OSD joystick to enter the replacement interface.
Screen quality performance:
The gaming experience of the monitor with less than 1K5 is very good, so what about its color performance, the screen was tested with the Datacolor spyder5 elite.
The default screen has a color gamut of 100% sRGB, 94% DCI P3, and 85% NTSC, which is remarkable for a gaming monitor at this price point.
The measured gamma value is 2.0.
In terms of color accuracy, the MSI MAG 274QRFW Delta-E averages 1.42, which is a good performance of less than 3. In addition to the game, the materials are taken into account and the P picture is also proper.,No problem.。 This powerful performance stems from the wide color gamut panel.
As multi-purpose gaming consoles become the norm, so too do game consoles connected to computer screens, and the MAG 274QRFW supports 4K input via console mode, which can significantly improve clarity.
Summary:
I have to say that the current consumer market is really rolling,Not just cars,As long as 1K5 is less, you can buy a game experience with excellent quality,The screen quality is remarkable27Inch170HzHigh refresh rate、1ms response rate、Support G-SYNC、HDR、Rheinland flicker-free e-sports monitor,It is still a product of a first-line big brand。 If you want to chop your hands on a gaming monitor in the near future, you can consider the MSI MAG 274QRFW.
