In fact, the specification here is really quite similar to the AOC AGON AG273QX that Katharine picked asthe best 1440p monitor overall, with the MSI monitor only missing out on HDR support - but also coming £170 cheaper. That seems like a fair trade to me!
It’s also worth noting that Katharine hasn’t reviewed this particular model for RPS, but she did like theearlier MAG272CQRwhich is almost identical - the only major differences appear to be the MAG272CQR includes an RGB light on the back and a USB hub, neither of which really justify a £140 higher asking price. Canadian outlet RTingshasreviewed the G27CQ4, and they described it as “a very good budget-friendly gaming monitor” with “the features most gamers are looking for”.
The monitor is cheapest at Very, where you canget it for £259 delivered, but it looks like Amazon have also dropped their prices in response - so if you have a Prime membership, you mightconsider their £262 listing.
Whichever way you go, this is a good all-around choice and I’m sure you’ll be happy with it.
