Overview
Think of the MSI Modern MD272UPSW as a 27-inch 4K monitor that is also a streaming box. Google TV is built in, so Apple TV, Disney+ and other apps run without a stick, while a 65W USB-C port charges your laptop as you work and a KVM switch lets one keyboard and mouse control two computers. It's a 60 Hz screen, so it suits home offices and shared desks more than fast-paced gaming. It's a handy pick for flats and shared rooms where one monitor has to serve work, video calls and the evening's viewing.
