For all the bells and whistles I was looking for for gaming at my work desk, this fit the bill and was a full 150 cheaper than the next option. Thanks for the review, it helped inform my decision and I'm very happy with it :D

[Onkoe]

This video is excellent! Seriously - it's crazy how many questions you answered that no one else on the entire web did.

Thanks for helping me decide on these things! :)

Looks like MSI didn't bother to tune Fast mode of this monitor. Could've been ~6ms with manageable overshoot.

[shahrukhwolfmann]

Love the new presentation look, Tim! Keep up the good work! Blessings!

[Buffinator]

I'm guessing its the same panel as gigabytes new m27u.
It would be interesting to see if that one has better tuned overdrive.

I have the GP950 since more than a year and it wasn't exactly new when I bought it. It's weird LG hasn't released an updated model.

[brettmassia]

Man numbers on a spread sheet don’t do this experience justice. Got a 3080ti and just bought this thing and damn ! Auto hdr is usable and actually for once is bright enough to look Amazing. Also response time is tight in person. I can’t see any artifacts and it feels faster than my 600 dollar aorus monitor

[bort]

It's 469 CAD which is about $350 USD right now on sale at Costco. Fantastic price for this monitor.

[SirJohnsonP]

I expected more from 4k offerings this year, but seems like companies are still pushing 1440p as their main offering. Releasing almost similar model for the same/higher price just confirms it

This channel is better than Hardware Unboxed

1ms advertised and you get 9ms should be a class action sue case!
They won't stop lying about the product until it starts hurting their precious brand name.

Please review the Gigabyte M27U and the LG 27GR93U. I think these two are going to be direct competitors to this MSI.

This monitor was on sale today at $399 on newegg. That seems to be an insane deal. Hoping the slowish response time doesn't affect me that much! I also hope MSI decides to tweak response times further... the abysmal difference between Fast and Fastest clearly shows there's a LOT of room for improvement.

I would to see you guys do a ktc m27p20 pro review. I've been hearing good things about it. But you guys do the best in depth reviews and I would to see how this monitors compares to other 4k 27 inch monitors.

[TheDaoistheway]

what do you think is a best monitor for the money, best value

[dawkinshater]

im watching this because there's a black friday sale on this product for 499$ cad (363$ usd). and there's even an open box one for 449$ cad (326$ usd). think i gotta pull the trigger for this one

[ZEROMENTEDR]

At Amzn it cost $360 USD (Feb 17, 2024), i think for the price its a good monitor.
Im planning to upgrade from a 27" inch 1080p 60hz monitor to that one

[kerkertrandov]

Please review MSI MAG 274UPF E2, the E2 is a newer version sold for around 400 euro in Europe that is 160hz instead of 144hz, might have other improvements too

[DctrGizmo]

Do you have any plans on reviewing the new M27u monitor? I can’t find any videos on it.

[x_Krios]

Can you review the Gigabyte M27U. Haven’t seen a decent review on it on YT but saw it was highly rated on rtings
