According to our monitor expert
If you have an AMD video card, FreeSync prevents image stutter during while you game.
Thanks to the 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, you can game smoothly and you're too fast for your enemies.
The curved design llows you to take in the whole screen, which leads to a more intense gaming experience.
This monitor doesn't have built-in speakers to play music and hear the sound of your games.
This monitor isn't height-adjustable.
De MSI Optix G27CQ4 is a 27-inch QHD gaming monitor designed for shooters and other fast-paced games. Because this screen is curved, it bends around your field of vision. This is especially useful with shooters, where you want to focus on the center of the screen without losing the overview. Thanks to the high refresh rate of 165Hz, the screen refreshes very quickly. That means you'l be less bothered by ghosting. Motion blur will also be a thing of the past, thanks to the 1ms response time. Adaptive sync compatibility ensure smooth gameplay. You'll reduce the risk of strained eyes with the blue light filter and the flicker-free technology.
Note: for QHD gaming, you need a powerful video card, such as an NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU or AMD Radeon RX 5000 series GPU, an Xbox One, Xbox Series X or S, or a PlayStation 5.

No complaints, perfect monitor

Have had the monitor for about a week now. I kind of underestimated how big 27 inches is, but I can't complain. Installation was quite easy, but the ports are quite difficult to reach. The colors are beautiful and the installation and settings were pretty straight forward. The menu couldn't be clearer, it immediately indicates whether Freesync is on, how many hz the monitor is set to, etc. I do think it's a shame that there is some ghosting. The ghosting is especially bad if you are scrolling through a document/web page where the background is white and the text is black. This can be solved by setting the reaction time from Fast (default) to Normal. During/after gaming I have to set the reaction time from Normal to Fastest all the time and vice versa.

This is a nice display. However, I returned it for several reasons:
The monitor (on the playstation 4 pro) regularly suffers from ghosting. I don't have this with another monitor from MSI.
The specs are too good for a playstation. This does not support QHD and you do pay for that. Playstation 5 does support 120hz. (Playstation 4 max 60hz). Good to know in advance.
27' is quite big, 24' suits me better.
The curve is beautiful though! I'm also curious if you don't suffer from ghosting in combination with a gaming PC. Other than that, very nice specs!
Whether this is recommended depends on your wishes and situation. So research what suits you, hopefully this review will help you :)
