About this product
The MSI MAG 27CQ6F is a 27-inch QHD gaming monitor with a 180Hz Rapid VA panel, 0.5ms response time, and 300 cd/m2 brightness. It features AMD FreeSync, 5000:1 contrast ratio, and supports 1.07 billion colors. Priced at $163.49.
Our take
The MAG 27CQ6F delivers a great balance: 180Hz refresh, QHD resolution, and a VA panel with a stellar 5000:1 contrast ratio. The deep blacks enhance dark scenes, and the 0.5ms response keeps motion clear. At $163, it's a steal for a 1440p high-refresh monitor. FreeSync is effective. The main tradeoff is the VA's narrower viewing angles compared to IPS, but for gaming, that's rarely an issue. Brightness at 300 nits is fine. If you want vibrant colors and fast gameplay without spending much, this is a top contender.
