The MSI Optix G27C4 monitor has a very simple design. It is mainly made of matte black plastic. The top and side frames are thin, but the lower bezel is much thicker. The stand has a tripod design with a shorter back leg, and the screen is curved.
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.
The back of the monitor is plastic and has a subtle player-oriented design, although it shouldn’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.
MSI Optix G27C4 monitor is a media-friendly monitor. Its 1080p resolution is a bit low, but its 27-inch screen allows you to see comfortably without having to sit up close. Display angles can be a problem if you want to share content with other users, and although it has excellent reflection management, displaying the screen in a bright room can be difficult due to the monitor’s low peak brightness.
