Key features
MAG 272CQRCurved Gaming display (1500R) – The best gameplay immersion. WQHD High Resolution – Game titles will even look better, displaying more details due to the WQHD resolution. Night Vision: See every detail clearly in the dark, helping you find and attack enemies before they notice. Connect with Type-C: Easily connect your laptop or PC to the MSI Optix MAG272CQR display via the type-C port. AMD FreeSync – prevent screen tearing and Display Technology: Lcd.
The MAG272CQR also increases the size of its color gamut over its predecessor, enough so that we can call it a DCI-P3 monitor. The preceding MAG271CQR was more accurately dubbed “sRGB+.”
HDR is also a new feature of the 272. The panel, manufactured by Samsung, has 10-bit color, courtesy of an 8-bit engine with Frame Rate Control. This means you shouldn’t see any banding with 10-bit HDR signals, and we didn’t observe any during the review.
Of course, the MAG272CQR offers Adaptive-Sync to fight screen tearing, as expected of any modern monitor targeted at gaming. It claims AMD FreeSync but hasn’t been certified by Nvidia for G-Sync (see FreeSync vs G-Sync). Still, we got the screen to run G-Sync unofficially by using our instructions for how to run G-Sync on a FreeSync monitor.
