According to our monitor expert
The MSI Optix MAG271CQR is a 27-inch WQHD monitor for fanatic gamers. Smoothly play fast shooters and racing games thanks to the 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time. This widescreen monitor has a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels, which means the monitor clearly displays games and movies. Do you have an AMD video card? If so, FreeSync makes sure you don't experience tearing and stuttering. The curved screen truly wraps itself around you so you're in the center of the action. The LED light at the back of the monitor can easily be adjusted via the MSI app. Tilt and adjust the height of the screen to ensure a nice sitting posture. You can use the MSI remote display to adjust the image settings from your smartphone.
Note: For QHD gaming, you need a powerful video card, such as an NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU or AMD Radeon RX 5000 series GPU, or an Xbox One X or S.

Been using for a few weeks now. Initial findings are very good. Very good value for money in my opinion. Has a fairly sleek appearance and therefore fits on every desk (in other words, does not look 'too' gaming). Only downside are the cables that are only 1.5m (too short for me already) Plus a free game at (The Division) Definitely recommended, top monitor in my opinion

The resolution and size of that screen are ideal for a normal desktop. The colors are very deep, with especially red and green going beyond the sRGB standard. The default colors don't require any adjustment, but if you want to do that, it's almost impossible due to a bug in the software where the starting point for custom colors is completely different from the "normal" colors. Gamma doesn't have a slider either. You can adjust the black values, but the jumps are way too big.
You can connect the screen with a USB cable and then control all settings via the OSD software in Windows. This also allows you to associate profiles with certain programs and switch them automatically. I find this very useful because the colors only really come to life when you raise the brightness, which my eyes can't handle if you have too much white on the screen, such as surfing.
The curve makes the image have a more 3D effect. Subtle but enough to feel.
The freesync option works but may flicker. A solution for this is to turn the screen off and off for a while. Make sure you have a graphics card that supports it and your screen is connected via hdmi or displayport without adapters!
Finally, it is also equipped with a vesa mount. I hardly used the foot but it was very easy to put on.

It's everything you need for what you're asking for: 144hz, 1ms, 27 inch etc. There is only 1 huge drawback (for me), I get a constant headache with this monitor. Not during normal use (eg: using the Internet), but only during gaming. I've tried everything: moving further away, adjusting brightness, trying another cable (HDMI and displayport). I thought it would go away over time, but after three weeks I saw that I was only getting worse. A real shame because it was exactly what I was looking for, but it's not fun gaming with this monitor because of the headache.
