Hello, good review. I have 2x this monitor. I hear in Your review is this monitor support freesync but MSI support tell my is freesync is not supported.
@UCsfbNk_K9A4wkVCNooHTDKw I left mine on default and it looks the best in overall use and gaming. The fps setting looks a bit too washed out imo, the other settings don't really fit my needs. One thing you need to check is in the controlpanel of your pc is the option to run at 165 fps, it may be set to 60 by default. I noticed this when I was ingame and pressed down on the red button at the back.
Mag is a lot more expensive but a little better and has better calibration with a couple extra features, don’t quote me but it’s just a quick inspection of when I saw the mag, I got this one cuz it’s wayyyy cheaper and practically has the same things

@SkypredatorGaming Colors are not over saturating in games or youtube? Is there sRGB mode? I m looking for 1440p 144 Hz(or more :P) but most of them have ~800:1 contrast if they fast enough and today i find out this model G273QF (G273QPF with better stand?) and MAG274QRF-QD but is more expensive. Both of them have 1000:1 or more contrast and still they are fast and not so much smearing ghosting. MAG274QRF-QD have USB ports, HDR(weak one but work...) and sRGB mode after update. G273QF/G273QPF this looks very promising for me but i m not sure if there will be over saturating colors or not. For now i m using Iiyama AMVA it's pretty good for me but 24" Full HD and max 67 Hz is not enough.

Any monitor with IPS panel and no local dimming can not really support HDR, so any mention of HDR would only be marketing, with no real advantage over SDR. True HDR gaming monitors are coming this year, but they will be very expensive.
@@karripartanen forget it, you're not gonna get a monitor that has an *actual* HDR at this price point. Want to get a true HDR experience? Get ready to spend over 1k on the monitor.
This monitor has 2 kinds of ports: Display Port 1.4: 2560 x 1440 (Up to 165Hz) HDMI 2.0: 2560 x 1440 (Up to 144Hz) And according to a Reddit user, you can downscale 4k content to 1440p on the PS5 with this monitor. With this, the monitor can trick your PS5 that you're playing on a 4k monitor. You'll get better image quality than 1080p, but a bit worse than 4k. Since PS5 still doesn't support 1440p, this is a great solution for the time being. Since this monitor has HDMI 2.0, it supports either 4k/60fps, or 1080/120fps. (The PS5 does support HDMI 2.1 which supports 4k/120fps or 8k/30fps but those are rare and expensive) So this sounds like a good deal to me, You can switch to (downscaled)4k/60fps for open-world/3rd person games. And you can switch back to 1080p/120fps for 1st person shooters like Call of Duty Reddit comment source: www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/m0py7l/what_do_you_think_of_the_msi_optix_g273qf/guotq3z?context=3 MSI's specifications page: www.msi.com/Monitor/Optix-G273QF/Specification
