Good review, can you please also review MSI mag274qrf qd e2 and compare these two monitors. Thanks.

[@pvhari2000]

Solid pick at 20k, good monitors have become easily accessible now. Please ask MSI is they're planning to launch their 27" QD OLED in India. Thanks!

[@maccagamingx]

Just pick this monitor up what settings are people using?

[@Drifter-fx4pn]

Nice review. Can you add a screenshot of UFO test at 60hz?

[@TechReflex]

Thanks. And no.

[@vincewithaz]

Does this support VRR on the PS5? Some monitors support VRR even with 2.0 HDMI, so I’m curious if this is one of them.

[@prayashbasnet320]

Hello Siddhartha sir . i am going to buy this monitor for ps5. will it support 1440p 120hz with hdr on ? because in some specs list it says console limited to fhd only .

Show ghosting of 60hz, 120hz, 144hz also.

[@yusufgumus654]

Ps5 Does it support 120hz 1440p

[@pratiklandge3207]

How does this one fair in comparison to the 27Gr75Q-B by LG. Both have almost identical specs, I am getting LG for around 1.5K cheaper. Would love to know your insights! PS: Really nice review. Most reviews talk about the QD model only. So this one was very helpful.

[@TechReflex]

I think this MSI one is better: 15 extra FPS, USB C input, more flexible stand.

[@sunnysalunkhe1195]

How is it compared to Gigabyte G27Q and M27Q?

[@sudharshanjazz1369]

Yes. I have the same question

[@8045MCKS]

I have this one i cant find the button to turn off the monitor can you help me ?

[@TechReflex]

Press the joystick at the center, like you press L3/R3 on a PlayStation remote.

How is this compared to the Acer xv272u v3? its a lot cheaper but seems to be ticking off all the boxes with a decent response time.

[@khadijabegum8530]

Where do u live because the acer Nitro xv272u v3 doesn't ship to Bangalore so I want to know where it ships to

[@abhinaym1017]

I know, its not shipping anywhere, although I found a seller online, mostly will buy from them

[@khadijabegum8530]

Can u tell if it's a company's website or personal contact? If u could tell I would like to know if u don't mind

[@TechReflex]

This monitor is a around 4K costlier (it may drop in price soon on the link I shared in description). For that you get a MUCH better stand, and Type C input with PD charging. QC wise, Acer is also not the best in my limited observation. But you can decide according to your needs.

[@thedarkmask4155]

So does it support 144 hz or 180 hz refresh rate for pc?

[@TechReflex]

Yes, 180 and 144 both

[@inert64]

hello i am from Bangladesh, i accidentally broke my gigabyte g27fc monitors display so should i buy this monitor? its 400 dollars here (40,000 taka)

I am using a laptop which does not have a dp port but have a HDMI 2.0 and USB - C 3.2 Gen , so how can i connect my laptop with this monitor and get proper 180 hrz.Will a Type c to display port convert work and give 180 hz or what shoud i do?? Please help need to buy this asap.

[@TechReflex]

Laptop should have a thunderbolt port or a USB C port with DP Alt mode. If it has that then yeah, you will get 180Hz.

[@Iamkeshavnandan]

@@TechReflex My laptop has 3.2 Gen USB Type C port and it does support DP alt Mode but i am not sure about it is thunderbolt or not because there is no sign of the lighting logo. Can you help me which cable or connecter do i need to use the full 180 hz .

[@TechReflex]

@@Iamkeshavnandan if it has dp alt mode, you should get 180Hz, you just need a USB Type C to C cable for this montior.

I too would like to meet the people who named these monitors 😂 I realized the usb is 2.0 so is it capped at 60 fps for ps5 ? Since it is not usb 2.1 so vrr is not compatible

[@TechReflex]

Why would you connect it via USB? It's HDMI is 2.0b, so it'll support 144Hz

[@kiretan8599]

@@TechReflex sorry i meant to say hdmi 2.0. Since vrr for ps5 is only available with hdmi 2.1. I misunderstood what vrr is when i typed my first comment and now i know it caps at 120 for hdmi 2.0

Hello bro is it better than LG Ultragear Gaming Monitor(27") 27Gr75Q,Black

[@AviDeol333YT]

Reply fast plz

[@TechReflex]

Yes, it has 15Hz higher refresh rate, has 19% wider color gamut, is 100 nits brighter, and cheaper. So definitely better.

[@AviDeol333YT]

@@TechReflex thanks 🙏🏻 And bro plz tell me ryzen 7600 non x and rx 7900 gre is enough for gaming and streaming (budget limit reached 💀) otherwise i have to buy 7800x 3d cpu only ,for 5-6 months use than buy a gpu plz help 🙏🏻

[@pratiklandge3207]

@@AviDeol333YT 7600 is enough for 7900 GRE.. 7800x 3d is like the best gaming cpu in the market right now. and almost 15k more expensive than 7600. People are using 7800x 3d with 4080 or 4090. If you plan on upgrading your gpu later, I would recommend 7800x 3d..otherwise budget wise 7600 is best. It won't bottleneck your gpu. I have also heard that NVIDIA is better for streaming. So you might want to look into 4070 super (faster than 7900 gre). I recently ordered Zotac 4070 super trinity from flipkart for 58k (With axis card discount). It usually goes out of stock very quickly though. So grab it while you can.

[@pratiklandge3207]

Also, you will get better warranty/ after sales with zotac, than sapphire or Asrock in india.

[@gaminguniverse320]

Does the DisplayPort cable that comes with the monitor, supports 180hz?

[@TechReflex]

Yeah

[@user-zx3bo1yq7m]

This or gigabyte m27q??

[@MarcinPvP]

Probably M27Q is better but it is more expensive in my country by about 25 bucks

this is gsync compatible ?
