MSI Optix MAG273R

The MSI MAG273R is a good monitor for most uses, but due to the low pixel density, it's not ideal for multitasking or office work. It has low input lag and a great response time, making it a great choice for gaming. It has wide viewing angles, good reflection handling, and good peak brightness, so it looks good in most rooms. Although this monitor supports HDR, it has a low contrast ratio and small highlights can't get very bright, so HDR doesn't add much.

The MSI Optix MAG273R delivers more contrast than most IPS panels and video processing that’s without fault. HDR is lacking, but budget-minded gamers should check it out.
