Gaming OSD APP 2.0
Gaming OSD App allows you to control your monitor display under a software window. You can even customize display settings for different software in the app. It will then automatically apply the presets once you start using the software. Last but not least, the Gaming OSD App allows you to use in-game hotkeys to adjust display settings.
Adjustable Stand
The MSI Optix Gaming monitor is built to make you as comfortable as possible while gaming. Through adjustments of tilting (-5°~20°), lowering, raising (0~100 mm), swiveling (-75°~75°), and pivoting (-90°~90°), you can easily change the position of the monitor for maximum ergonomics and optimum viewing experiences.
HDR Ready

Night Vision
Night Vision smartly computes and amplifies the details in the dark area of the screen, as opposed to brutally brightening the whole screen and causing some areas to overexpose. This creates overall comfortable and pleasing images. You are not afraid of dark anymore, are you?

13 Comments on MSI Announces Optix MAG274QRF-QD Monitor
Can these hideous brands for once release 1 bloodly good panel (like 1080p Pandas were marvelous for price/performance $170) a year, but packing the punch with all the latest features and good quality?
/rant out/:banghead:
If MSI wants to compete, price this at $320 max, because we have VX2758-2KP-MHD at $350 and sometimes found for $330 or under GL850-B/GL83A's $380-450...
And no, 165hz isn't a valuable excuse to price this garbage $450+ since most 144hz monitors can oc to ~165hz.
Frankly, image quality on the IPS was clearly superior, but after some calibration the VA comes close and the smoothness in games is incompatible. The only thing that's annoying is that the VA cannot do a non-static mesh fence even if it was to save it's life. So, a quality 32 inch IPS at a somewhat reasonable price would be great.
