The stand has a tripod design with a shorter back leg, and the screen is curved.<\/p>\n<p>MSI Optix G27C4 is a decent monitor for most uses. It may offer good image quality, but its 1080p resolution is a bit low for a 27-inch screen, which is less ideal for multitasking. It is a great game monitor, however, as it has an refresh rate of 165 Hz, an excellent response time(1ms) and a low input delay to provide a smooth and responsive gaming experience. It also supports the FreeSync variable update rate to reduce screen tear.<a href=\"https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6458\" src=\"https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4.jpg\" alt=\"MSI Optix G27C4\" width=\"1024\" height=\"820\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4-960x769.jpg 960w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4-500x400.jpg 500w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4-585x468.jpg 585w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4-150x120.jpg 150w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4-475x380.jpg 475w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4-750x601.jpg 750w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4-524x420.jpg 524w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4-640x513.jpg 640w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4-681x545.jpg 681w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4-768x615.jpg 768w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4-250x200.jpg 250w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4-860x689.jpg 860w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4-810x649.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>The MSI Optix G27C4 monitor is a very good monitor with impressive gaming performance. With a 27-inch curved display, its 1080p resolution feels a bit poor, but it makes up for it with a high refresh rate, excellent motion management, and exceptionally low input delay. This monitor is suitable for darkroom games due to its high contrast ratio and can offer good image quality with saturated colors and fluid movement. Unfortunately, it does not support HDR, it has very few additional features, and its mediocre peak brightness can be a problem in very bright rooms.<br \/>\nThe back of the monitor is plastic and has a subtle player-oriented design, although it shouldn&#8217;t look out of place in an office setting. The entrances are easily accessible; However, there is no integrated cable management and the media does not have a quick release feature. There is a joystick in the lower left corner to navigate the menu on the screen.<a href=\"https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4-.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6460\" src=\"https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4-.png\" alt=\"MSI Optix G27C4\" width=\"1024\" height=\"820\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4-.png 1024w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4--150x120.png 150w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4--475x380.png 475w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4--585x468.png 585w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4--960x769.png 960w, https:\/\/webllena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MSI-Optix-G27C4--500x400.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>Optix monitors come with an refresh rate of 165 Hz &#8211; 1 ms response time VA PANEL LED that has the maximum advantage in fast-moving game genres, such as first-person shooters, fighters, racing simulators, real-time strategy and sports.
