Review: As much as I love MSI, as they have been my go to for hardware components and peripherals for my PC needs for a long time now - I have to scold them now which really hurts because they've never steered me wrong until now. This screen, while it does the job a screen should do - has some glaring problems (literally as well). My issues with this screen are as follows: 1) There is horrid IPS bleed coming through the corners of the monitor and lightly in the centre of it. 2) Ghosting is an issue and seems to occur with specific font formats. 3) Horrid white balance. (Yes the monitor has been calibrated) 4) (Possibly the result of IPS bleed/anti-glare material used): There always seems to be a layer of greyish green over the monitor. 5) Extremely limited OSD options (Your monitors built in settings controls). There isn't even a saturation slider. This is a basic thing that was in monitors for decades I do not know how any self serving gaming company cannot include this simple feature. All of the above present a huge problem for me. While I did buy the monitor to purely play games on, something that strikes me is that all of the issues stated above seemingly do not exist in my other monitor which is almost 9 years old now. For reference my other monitor is a BENQ GL2450 from 2013, as far as I remember it is a TN panel and while TN panels seemingly get a bad show of things for gaming, I have gamed on it for years and my only gripe was that I was stuck at 60hz. Now I have a monitor with 144hz but all the strengths of my other monitor do not exist within it. The GL2450 is far clearer in picture, the colours are more vibrant and truer to what my eyes see. What this G272 monitor does is apparently apply a very thin greyish green filter over everything no matter what I do. The whites are "ok" but the blacks are not true blacks, they appear grey and so I have to shove the contrast down further to make them true black but then that intensifies the greyish green layer which I assume is coming from the IPS bleed or the Anti-glare material they used, super imposing a filter over the colours due to the material used. This has forced me to use Nvidias GeForce Filters for every game I play to get the best colour settings for them. Elden Ring Fortunately seems to enforce its own colour profile of sorts which seems to override SOME of the issues, but the rest I have to manually change myself. Again this is a non-issue on my 9 year old monitor, so clearly this is a hardware issue not a user issue. My conclusion is this: Do not buy this monitor unless you're on a budget. It seems MSI skipped QA on actual quality and seemingly sold it on the premise of it being a 144hz gaming monitor. Due to the extent of the IPS bleed I can only conclude that the parts were extremely cheap as well. MSI I know this is an older, cheaper model but dear lord please do better and at the very least go the extra mile and pre-calibrate your monitors (and I do mean properly) to ensure they're not defunct.
