Wide Colour Gamut
MSI monitors feature wider gamut coverage compared to generic monitors. Colours and details look more realistic, which enhances gaming immersion.
Display Colours: 1.07 Billion
sRGB/DCI-P3*: 113.8%/90.4%

Night Vision & HDMI CEC
MSI Night Vision, the smart black tuner, can enhance crucial details and provide a glimmer of light during the darkest hours.
HDMI CEC Profile Sync supports multiple devices (PC, Mac, console, mobile, or laptop) and can automatically detect device settings.
Less Blue Light, Anti-Flicker
MSI monitors are optimized to produce less blue light, so that users view predominantly white backgrounds (search engines, online games, Windows apps) for longer periods of time without having to suffer unnecessary eye-strain.
Anti-Flicker technology provides a superior viewing experience by reducing the amount of flicker, unlike generic monitors that typically display with a flicker-rate of about 200-times* per second.
*Although unnoticeable to the naked eye, this can cause fatigue over time.
Adjustable Stand
The monitor stand includes tilt (-5°~20°) & height (0~130mm) adjustability for improved viewing comfort.

Bought for the gamer in the house because they need those few ms faster response time? All I know is the picture is amazing and it hasn’t had any issues after 1 year.
I wasn’t sure before buying. I was concerned about both the colour quality (being used to oled p3) and the curved-ness.
Colour is good (not oled, but I don’t notice it unless they are side by side or I’m doing gfx work. Playing games, even dark ones, and its not noticeable).
Curvature was instantly better, and took about a week to get used to. Essentially anything you look at is perfectly shaped as though it was centre screen. This really helps when having windows side-by-side.
If I want write an essay, the words are not so clearly. In rest everything is looking good
The monitor is good, easy on the eyes even if you’re using it for extended periods of time. There is screen bleed on them and I have had to replace it and get a new one but after researching I’ve come to the conclusion that it is apparently an inherent problem with the curved screens. Maybe that’s not true for expensive ones but it is for this one.
The screen bleed isn’t too bad and it doesn’t hinder performance. I only notice it at completely dark
wallpapers with the lights completely off, not in regular usage.
fantastic monitor however my old pc let it down so i returned may get a new one for my new pc
Great monitor for the price, if you play fps games and need a good mid range 1440p this is a good place to start. A little backlight bleed but hardly noticeable, good picture with lots of settings to play with to find your preference.
Bought on the spur of the moment. There is nothing wrong with this item. Nice screen and really clear. It does take some getting used to. I have been using it for a couple of weeks. I still cannot see any benefit regarding the curved screeen wwhere usage is concerne.. Not sure if it would have been a wiser decision to opt for the norm. One good thing is the way it fits ino the corner where my PC is situated. I ccan pussh the unit closer to the wall. It does look quite classy. The stand is very wide. I don think it needs to cover so much area. Repeating myself…..This moitor does take a while to get used to.. really strange at first. I did consder returning deciding not to. Glad I didnt. I chose it…nothing wrong with it so kept it. Delivery quick as usual. If you are thinking of buying without seeing I suggest you see one first.
Wouldn’t buy this monitor full price but if you got it on sale like I did I highly reccomend i
Best monitor iv ever purchased,takes gaming to a different level,thinking of purchasing anothe
The monitor is excellent but the Quick start guide is totally useless and the manufacturer is virtually impossible to contact for support . I have now assembled the screen so oif anyone wants help let me know
So I ordered thinking I would get 1440p. But I was wrong. I got 4k !!!!! def not sent the wrong model as most specs were identical . You can run 1440p at 120 fps. And 4k at 60. Hdr really had an impact as well.
I got this for my son 21st and he love it, He had got myself a PS5 and was using a 1080p Monitor which was ok, But he says this monitor is so so good so much better. The monitor is well made and easy to put together. The only thing is make sure you have a screw drive Philips to screw to stand arm to the back of the monitor, Apart from that very good and great price.
I had it delivered on time and assembling it was very easy. No need for screw drivers and set up with my Dell laptop was quick and simple. Great picture quality and good screen size. Perfect for multiple screens. My coding and programming just got better!
Love this screen! Married it up with my Asus Scar Strix G733 Laptop and its a great companion for it.
1440p and 165hz with Freesync Premium does everything I want and more. 32″ is beastly but if you have a large office desk/space like mine it works, don’t go so big if you are on a smaller set up.
Also, the stand requires quite a bit of desk space so keep that in mins, its not a small stand like many other screens.
LOVE MY NEW MONITOR! i been for ages using my big tv i bought a desk and chair with this and have my own gamming corner very happy game
Very well made monitor sturdy. I purchased two of these monitors for my new setup and I think they are fantastic great graphics and colours.
his is 60hz not the adviertised 75hz, apart from that its a good monitor. should be maybe be 30/40 cheaper as the hz is wrong.
To be honest i didn’t expect to be that good, im really sodify about it… Im using it for my xbox one and it works perfectly and great graphics… Im also using it to watch movies but unfortunatly have some dellay from video audio(im using an hdmi to ios converter) the monitor is coming by default with 60hz and you can change it only when you connect on your pc … This is something i discover and none saing it in the comments
They arrive in a branded box, on opening your meet with a well made lightweight curved monitor, that feels a little plastic, however this is an great entry level gaming monitor. In the box is the monitor, stand and hdmi cable (which is pretty short). I did not use the stands i was mounting mine on arms.
The MSI Optix G27C6 is good for gaming. It has features most gamers want, like a 165Hz max refresh rate, which can only be achieved using a display port cable (my personnel choose) FreeSync support, and G-SYNC compatibility. Input lag is really low, but the response time can be slow, resulting sometimes in blurry motion. It’s a good choice for dark room gaming thanks to its high contrast ratio, but there’s no way to dim the monitor.
The monitor can be controlled with a small joystick feature on the rear right bottom side near power switch.
Over all they are good monitors im happy to recommend
While using the monitor I have noticed some ghosting in titles such as Sea of Thieves and dying light 2, ghosting is less noticible in games like call of duty, halo or destiny, probably less noticible because in those titles I’m normally running at the 165hz refresh rate.
In my honest opinion while I like the monitor I wish I had grabbed an IPS panel instead of a curved VA.
Settings I’m using-
Game mode – Fps
Night vision – Normal
Response Time – Fastest
Pro mode – Cinema
HDCR – On
Image enhancement – Weak
Out the box the ghosting is horrendous in games with a dark gritty environment, the bright/colourful pixels are very responsive where as browns, blacks and greys are very sluggish making ghosting very prominent there is a easy way to fix this issue. turn the refresh rate from fast/fastest to normal and turn on night vision mode ( I use the strong setting) then make a custom user profile to make the image match your needs. (brightness, sharpening, contrast etc) Once you follow these steps you will be hard pressed to notice any ghosting.
One other thing to note is that unfortunately at the time of writing this review this monitor is not currently G-sync compatible and you will get flickering while using Freesync with a Nvidia GPU. This could change soon however as one of the models below this recently got G-sync compatibility through GeForce drivers.
All in all if you’re looking for a cheap 1440p monitor with a high refresh rate and decent image quality and you don’t care about fancy stuff like HDR I’d recommend this little gem.

It’s not the best quality screen out there but it’s doing ok for me, I’m not a gamer so I don’t need all the bells and whistles and high speed refresh rates, I do a bit of programming, watch videos and do a bit of internet browsing so it’s plenty good enough for what I need.
I’m not sure why but there was a 10 amp fuse in the mains plug, the power supply says 1.5 amp max input and 3.42 amp max output so 10 amp is way over the top, I’ve swapped it out for a 3 amp and everything seems to be okay so far (if the 3 amp blows I’ll swap it for a 5 amp).
I didn’t realise it was a curved screen until I unboxed it, I must have been too eager to buy and obviously didn’t read all the spec, and although I had never seen a curved screen in the flesh (so to speak) and they have never really appealed to me, I was quite pleasantly surprised by it.
My old monitor was 24″ and this being 32″ it seems twice the size so it’s a lot better as I can have more windows open at the same time (side by side instead of on top of each other) and now I can see everything at once without having to keep swapping in/out windows.
All in all I’m quite happy with it, if for any reason anything changes that alters my opinion of it rest assured I’ll update this review.
You can barely tell that it’s curved – it does not impact your experience in any way as far as I can tell.
The only 2 things I would mention are:
– DP cable should be a little bit longer, it’s better to go longer than shorter, and I could barely connect the cable to the GPU. This will be different for everyone of course.
– The adjustable stand. Once again, everyone will have a different opinion but I would like for the stand to be adjustable when it comes to height. If you wanted to follow all of the guidance on how to position a screen (on the level with your eyes), you would need a bunch of books to bring it to that level.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the screen.
