Overview
Aimed at gamers, the MSI MAG 274QF E20 is a 27-inch IPS display with a 2560 × 1440 panel that refreshes at up to 300 Hz. It offers 108 ppi pixel density, 300 nits typical brightness, 1000:1 static contrast and 121% sRGB and 92% DCI-P3 coverage. Variable refresh covers 48–300 Hz, quotes 0.5 ms MPRT response and supports Adaptive-Sync. Inputs include 2× HDMI 2.0 and 1× DisplayPort 1.2. The stand tilts only. There are no speakers, and it weighs 4.9 kg with the stand. It suits competitive players who put frame rate first. The main trade-off: tilt-only stand has no height, swivel or pivot adjustment.
