Der MSI Optix MAG272CQR eignet sich für Gamer gut bis sehr gut, hier punktet er mit schnellen Bildraten und einer tollen Latenz. Die Verarbeitung ist gut, das Design hübsch, die Ergonomie dürfte aber besser sein.

Aside from needing a few tweaks to optimize the image, the MSI Optix MAG272CQR is a true standout in the 27-inch 1440p category. With 165 Hz, Adaptive-Sync, HDR and DCI-P3 color, it delivers almost all the performance of premium screens at a fraction of the price.
