Recently, Steam, the world's largest gaming platform, released the latest hardware survey report, and in the field of graphics cards that players are most concerned about, Lao Huang's RTX 3060 compared with 0The percentage increase of 25% once again topped the list, combined with the overall data, the dessert-level 60 60ti and 70 70ti continue to maintain**, and the lower-end graphics card as a whole is**, it seems that the graphics card** is becoming more and more reasonable and the player's equipment is gradually updated.
For gamers, this level of graphics card can basically ensure the smooth operation of 3A masterpieces at 2K resolution, and it is also the most cost-effective interval in the graphics card market. In addition to some new brands fighting the best battle, old manufacturers have also begun to put down their noble bodies, trying to expand their own advantages from multiple levels such as cost performance, high quality, and precise positioning. The display shared this time is a new product MAG 274QRFW launched by MSI, which uses a rare white body, high brush and high color accuracy as selling points, positioning the entry-level thousand-yuan display.
As a new addition to MSI's G-series, the pure white MAG 274QRFW is elegant. The 27-inch display screen with ultra-narrow bezels on three sides visually enlarges the display area and brings a stronger sense of immersion. The simple color matching can also be seamlessly integrated into various styles, and friends who like to create desktop scenes should not miss it.
The back of the monitor is MSI's family-style design language, with irregular geometric patterns and different heights of flat design, and slender lines gradually closing from left to right, which is very layered and fully reflects the elements of e-sports.
The ARGB light bar on the top is narrow and long, and the lighting effect lights up just like the finishing touch when the power is on, and it also puts the atmosphere in place. It's a pity that the lighting effect here only supports rainbow mode, and it can't be synchronized with the host.

Although the five-dimensional rocker is not a rare thing, it is rarely seen in thousand-yuan machine products, let alone a first-line brand like MSI. Compared with the physical buttons commonly used in low-end machines, the five-dimensional joystick is more in line with the operation logic when adjusting, and there will be no wrong presses.
Interface-wise, the monitor offers HDMI 20*2、dp 1.4*1, and other than that, it's the regular 35mm audio output and DC power connector. It's a pity that the display castrates the USB port, and friends who like to use the screen to hang lights need to pay attention.
The hand-screwed screws used for the base and bracket are connected to the monitor and can be quickly assembled, making it easy and quick to install. The surface of the bracket is also specially brushed, which is very textured to the touch.
The stand supports a variety of adjustments, including 130mm height adjustment, 45° left and right adjustment, and -5° 20° tilt adjustment, with a 90° portrait display, which can meet almost most use needs.
I've always liked the design of MSI's flat base, which looks a lot better than the common Trident style of traditional gaming monitors, and at the same time, it doesn't take up too much space on the desktop, and the base can also be used to place small items such as mobile phones, mini consoles, and figurines, which is quite convenient to use.
How to judge the advantages and disadvantages of the display, you can say it in one sentence. It is the so-called "lower limit of panel guarantee, upper limit of training representative". MSI MAG274 QRFW basic parameters include 2560 1440 QHD resolution, PPI pixel density, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 167M, 100% Adobe RGB display color, and 180Hz frequency, standard thousand-yuan high-brush display, from the actual point of view, the overall performance is good, the color is bright and the picture is clear, and the high contrast ratio also makes the color transition more natural.
MSI monitors have always attached great importance to eye protection, and the MAG 274QRFW has naturally not been left behind. The display uses a hardware-level low blue light panel, and also specially found a foundry to customize a hardware-level low blue light module, and has passed the TUV Rheinland anti-blue light certification, which avoids the peak of blue light waves in the most serious 455nm range and minimizes irritation to the eyes.

The MSI MAG 274QRFW is able to cover 100% of the SRGB, 87% Adobergb and 94% P3 color gamut in the default user mode.
Tonal response curve and gamma value 22 Perfectly coincided.
In terms of color temperature, the default value of the display is 6500K, and normal hardware low blue light displays will be yellow and warm at this color temperature. However, MSI adjusted it to around 6700K, which effectively circumvented this drawback.
The maximum brightness of the display in user mode is 311nit, and even if HDR mode is turned on, it is less than 380nit, and the brightness performance is relatively average. The advantage is reflected in the contrast ratio, the maximum 1220:1, the maximum brightness of 1090:1, the first-class performance of the display in the same class.
Monitors like this one tend to have poor brightness uniformity around the corners, and the MSI MAG 274QRFW does a good job in this regard, with a maximum deviation of 43 at the top right of the screen.
The 48-color calibration results of the Red Spider showed an average e=083, maximum e 212,The color accuracy performance is quite eye-catching,Not to mention in the e-sports circle,Even if it is placed in the quasi-professional design display, it is considered first-class。 That is, as I mentioned earlier, the advantages of large factories in terms of tuning.
The MSI MAG 274QRFW natively supports 144Hz and can be overclocked to 180 Hz when connected to the DP port. Compatible with N-card G-Sync and A-card FreeSync Premium Pro features, you can see in the UFOtest test that the high brush state can provide more images in the same amount of time, which means that there is less drag, which is essential for fast-paced games.
I have to say that the MSI MAG 274QRFW is a rare white monitor, and it can be said that it is quite competent as a desk pair. 2K plus 180Hz can also better meet the needs of esports gamers for smoothness. If you like to play console games, especially XSS-based players, it's a perfect match.
The display supports dynamic enhancement of the dark part, and the display will automatically recognize it after turning on this function, and automatically increase the local brightness through the algorithm to show more dark details. This function provides four gears: Normal, Strong, Strongest, and AI, which has a certain improvement for games with dark graphics. However, one thing to say, this feature is noticeable on MSI's high-end displays, and for the MAG 274QRFW it is mediocre, after all, the innate brightness is just like that.
As a hardware black technology, the physical front sight is basically the standard configuration of e-sports monitors, especially suitable for CS, PUBG and other first-person shooting games, and it is inevitable that the temporary amplification of the opponent will be slow to take a beat, and there is a ten-character crosshair that can ensure the first time**, and the survival rate will be greatly improved. The MSI MAG 274QRFW sets this function to a downward toggle of the 5D joystick, which is also quick and easy to switch.
The IPS panel brings a 178° ultra-large viewing angle, whether it is a direct or side view, the screen display screen still performs consistently, and there will be no exaggerated color shift, distortion, etc., and the large viewing angle is more obvious for the advantages of group dual screen and multiple screens.
Although 4K has become mainstream in the current monitor market, there are still a large number of gamers who choose 60 70 series dessert graphics cards because of budget or the pursuit of high smoothness, and the corresponding 2K level monitors still have a huge user base. As a product with a clear positioning in the early 1,000 yuan, the MSI MAG 274QRFW uses 2K and 180Hz high brushes as its selling points, which can well meet the needs of mainstream graphics cards. In addition, the excellent quality control and technical tuning unique to big brands are also great advantages, coupled with its rare pure white style, it is very suitable for players who pursue minimalist style and like table building.
