About this product
This MSI Optix MAG27CQ is a 27-inch curved gaming monitor with WQHD (2560x1440) resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. It features a 1ms response time, 3000:1 contrast ratio, and 250 cd/m² brightness. Video input includes DisplayPort. The monitor is listed as broken, so it may have defects or damage. Suitable for gaming due to its fast response and high refresh rate, but note the condition issue.
Our take
I grabbed this MSI Optix MAG27CQ hoping for a budget-friendly curved gaming monitor, but the listing clearly states it's broken. The specs are enticing: 144Hz, 1ms response, WQHD resolution on a 27-inch curved panel. However, with only 250 nits brightness, it's not the brightest. The 3000:1 contrast ratio should give decent blacks. The big downside is the unknown defect and limited video inputs (just DisplayPort). For $70, if you're handy with repairs, it might be worth a shot, but expect potential issues with the screen or electronics.
