MSI, the world’s leading manufacturer for true gaming hardware, is proudly expanding the hardware possibilities for all gamers. This time, we are honored to introduce our latest IPS eSports Gaming Monitor: Optix MAG274R. Equipped with an IPS panel, a high refresh rate of 144Hz and a fast response time of 1ms, Optix MAG274R will let you enjoy the best viewing experience and the smoothest gaming experience at the same time.

Why IPS? Compared to a traditional TN panel, IPS panels provide a wider viewing angle with minimum color shifts and an astonishing viewing experience. However, most gaming monitors are not equipped with IPS panels due to response time. For a fast response time equal to or less than 1ms, you had to turn to TN or VA panel gaming monitors in the past. With the ever-changing nature of technology, fast response time and high-quality viewing experience are no longer mutually exclusive. Always improving, MSI will keep on challenging itself in the design of gaming monitors, and ensure that you are always ahead of your opponents.

IPS PANEL – ASTONISHING VIEWING EXPERIENCES

Optix MAG274R is equipped with an IPS panel that produces no image distortion and minimum color shifts when viewed from different angles. Additionally, the IPS panel will offer clear images and instantly optimize screen color and brightness to ensure that you enjoy every scene at its best.

144HZ REFRESH RATE AND 1MS RESPONSE TIME – SMOOTHEST GAMING EXPERIENCE

Optix MAG274R is equipped with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time. It will undoubtedly be beneficial to professional gamers, especially those playing fast-moving games. Games like first-person shooters, fighters, racing sims, real-time strategies, and sports will no longer look quirky since our monitor will be able to keep up with any FPS your graphics card produces.

GAMING OSD APP 2.0 – YOUR GAMING ASSISTANT

Optix MAG274R is further strengthened by the Gaming OSD App, which allows you to control your monitor display under a software window. You can even customize display settings for different software in the app. It will then automatically apply the presets once you start using the software. Last but not least, the Gaming OSD App allows you to use in-game hotkeys to adjust display settings.

HDR READY – BRINGING YOU THE MOST VIVID IMAGE

High Dynamic Range (HDR) display delivers better color and contrast accuracy. Optix MAG274R is equipped with HDR technology that can produce images with more details, a wider range of colors, and look more similar to what is seen by the human eye when compared to traditional monitors.

NIGHT VISION – SMART BLACK TUNER

Night Vision is merged into MSI’s monitor configuration software – Gaming OSD App 2.0. It smartly computes so that it amplifies the details in the dark area of the screen can, as opposed to brutally brightening the whole screen and causing some areas to overexpose. This creates overall comfortable and pleasing images. You are not afraid of dark anymore, are you?

ADJUSTABLE STAND – TAILORED FOR THE PERFECT FIT

The MSI Optix Gaming monitor is built to make you as comfortable as possible while gaming. Through adjustments of tilting (-5°~20°), lowering, raising (0~100mm), swiveling (-75°~75°) and pivoting (-90°~90°), you can easily change the position of the monitor for maximum ergonomics and optimum viewing experiences.
