I'm having a lot of trouble deciding between TN, VA and IPS for my next monitor. I have a TN now and I would like to get better colors and viewing angles but I don't want to compromise on too much performance as I mostly use my monitor for fast paced gaming.

@@lminsideurwalls from what i can tell. Yes! It's very good for gaming! There is maybe some better monitors out there for either the same price or a little lower! But i recommend this one
I have a question about your laptop reviews, when you perform gaming tests, for how long do you perform the test on one game because in longer gaming sessions the results can differ.
Great monitor. Especially as a consumer that prefers VA, over IPS. I can’t stand playing the monitor lottery in regards to backlight bleeding, and IPS monitors.
Two weeks ago I start considering a gaming laptop but want to know more about the options available, you upload all the video I want. Today I start thinking is there any good value to performance gaming monitor, once again you deliver. Great work keep it up.
Hi Jarrod, I have the possibility to buy either the MAG272CQR or the MAG271CQR at the same exact price(350gbp). The usage would be in order Gaming>office>multimedia. Do you think the the "more subtle curve" and the higher brightness would benefit my usage? I don't need 165Hz. Is there any other ACTUAL differences? I really can't make my mind... Sorry for bothering.
I’m looking into getting a new gaming laptop soon but I’m stuck on whether I should get the Eluktronics Mag15 or the ASUS G14 😭 The g14 'should' be better considering it’s newer, but when I saw the reviews you made I noticed that the mag15 is 144hz and the g14 is 120hz. I also noticed in the g14 benchmarks that the gaming performance was higher on the mag15 on numerous gaming titles. Is there a reason why I should still consider the g14 over the mag15? (or vice versa)
I've had the MSI Optix MAG272QR 27" for about 2 months now and it's a great monitor! Ive had a 144hz asus 1080pm 1ms monitor before buying the msi one but its night and day difference I also dont notice any ghosting or bleeding? Maybe it's worse on the curved model?
Hey Jarrod, love the review. Any chance you can do a review of the Sceptre c305b-200un? It's a budget 2560 x 1080 200 Hz monitor I've been looking To but haven't seen many reviews for it online
Thanks! Not sure, unless I buy it myself probably not unless I can work out who to reach out to for that. Not really worth me buying it myself based on how poorly my monitor videos perform :(
How does it compare with the older MSI Optix MAG271CQR? Is there any reasonable upgrade worth paying a higher price? I know this one is 165Herz instead of 144Herz but besides that is there any other improvements to the panel itself?
Think I mentioned in a couple of places throughout the video the difference, basically curve a little different and this has 21Hz higher refresh rate, if you have the old one not worth the upgrade IMO unless you are playing competitively or something and get high enough FPS.
@@JarrodsTech I haven't tried a curve yet. You think is worth it? From a flat to a curve screen? I'm actually planning to buy this one since that I do gaming as well. I do have an ips monitor and wanted to invest to another screen.
How’s it going m8! I just purchased a monitor similar to this! The MSI MAG270 CR it’s a 27”1080p 165hz monitor with 1ms response time but it’s a VA panel!!! Did I make a mistake getting the VA and not IPS? Please help thank you 🙏
400$ is cheap? I don't know man, I thought all this time we will get these type of monitors for 200/250$ as the tech is becoming more easy and wide spread. I mean what am I gonna do if I have a max budget of say 800$ for a full PC. I can do without all those ports and fancy RGB. Good to see you are staying healthy and getting stuff to review, we got our area in hard lockdown from today😷
@@JarrodsTech I see that makes sense for people who need it. but I really thought we would be getting 144hz monitors with 2k display at 200$ by now. Also 165hz is an odd choice for refresh rate. From a DS players perspective it does not scale well with the resolution (60-75Hz/1080p),(120-144hz/1440p),(4k/240hz).😅
@@JBrown-go8ru Acer makes quality monitor for more affordable prize then both Asus and MSI. 1080p is going to be the get go for a while more it looks like.
I think they have 1080p 144hz product alongside this, please do review if ever you get your hands on one. I think it's called the Optix Mag 273R or MSI Optix G241(I think they're different models) here in Philippines, I'm very interested in this monitor (though I don't have the budget or the gaming system to have one lol).
I bought the other version of this one that is 31.5 inches and has a VA panel, it is coming in tomorrow and wanted to see how the quality was because the pixel density on it isn't very good. I and going to be running an ASUS ROG 3080, so I'm not sure if I should upgrade.
Jarrod, do you know about the 2020 acer nitro ? I want to buy an acer nitro but I'll wait for the 2020 version,it is said to be released on may but I haven't seen it anywhere, is it due to the virus ?
To balance high resolution, you need bigger screen as the pixels are much more than usual. Also, if you have a 4k laptop with a 15'6 screen, it will look like shit
The problem is pixel density and screen scaling. At 1440p or 4k the pixles are so small that you need to upscale the graphical interface, otherwise text and icons would be tiny. That however has it's drawbacks as well, which is why 1080p is still the norm. Also because battery life takes a huge hit.
The don't do 1440p on laptops as some laptops cannot handle 1440p 144hz and/or laptop makers would go for 4k 60 as there aren't a lot if any 1440p 144hz laptop panels in production.
Hey guys, I have a serious question, I’m currently trying to buy this specific monitor but I need your help. What’s the difference between a Msi mag272c and the msi mag272cqr, are they the same thing but with different names or just different overal
I'm actually moments away from buying this monitor. I want to use it for my ps4. Not ps4 pro. I'm really hasitating about 4k or 2k and higher refreshrate as I don't want to spend €1000 for a 4k monitor with high refreshrate. I already have the msi mag27 monitor 1080p. Will the upgrade be worth it? I know this one has hdr and mine doesn't. And it's higher resolution of course. Edit: I'm kinda upgrading because of the ps5. Hoping I can use the 165Hz for the new gen.
Honestly, I'm not sure about for PS4, don't think it can do 1440p high refresh but I don't know much about console, I'd expect next gen to support better, could be more worthwhile there but you'd need to look into what resolution/refresh rates it's going to support as I'm not sure.
@@JarrodsTech damn. Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah ps4 doesn't support higher fps. But I was hoping for the ps5 to get a higher fps. Nonetheless I already bought it. I sometimes connect my macbook to it as well so I have a bigger screen. But yeah, hopefully for the next gen console there's a future haha. I know all the advantages of gaming on pc but I can't get used to that. Just give me my controller haha. Thanks again for the reply :) Edit again: thanks to your review I made the final desicion to buy it. I really like my msi monitor right now. This is just a slight upgrade. Just smoother and better resolution :)
I’m in the same boat with a ps4 slim what monitor should I buy since ps4 slim in my knowledge can only play 1080p What’s would you say is the best call for a gaming monitor
@@ryanahmadkani7372 If image quality is your main thing then go with a 4k for sure. I wanted performance and smoothness. Which I can't get with my ps4 but it's kinda focused for the next gen. Which will come this year maybe. So if you want to invest in a good monitor then yeah I think this one will be a great choice without a doubt. I don't think there are many better options than this. It's like a lot of brands advertising the same kinda product. Just a different design. If you have a big budget then go with the 4k with 144hz and 1ms response time. There's no way a console will run 4k at 144hz. So that'll be 60hz. Maybe the ps6 or ps7 in that time. I'm already very pleased with the msi monitor I have right now. But it produces 1080p. Which is kinda a bit of a downside for a 27inch screen (i think i have 27inch or maybe 24inch). I'm not sure what monitor or tv you're playing on right now but if you had a 6 year old samsung tv like me than everything is an upgrade :). Look up the BenQ monitor as well. It runs 4k and 1ms response time. HDR. And is very cheap in comparison. But again, depends if you want smooth images or just quality of the image. I think 1440p with 144hz or 165hz is the sweetspot :). 4k isn't really noticeable I think unless you look very closely. I took the gamble and I think 1440p will do great. Especially if I'm okay with 1080p right now. It's again a upgrade. Sorry if I kinda went everywhere with this comment but hopefully it answers your question. In the end you just have to decide buddy :). There are too many options and I don't think there's a bad one
Just received this monitor yesterday but it kind of looks like there is a haze over the screen or maybe the colors are slightly washed out. Could you tell me what calibrations you used or switched to for the best picture?
Is there a way to manually set the resolution on input coming through the HDMI port to 1440p 144hz? Because whenever I plug my capture card through the HDMI slot I can only get the monitor's resolution on the HDMI input to 1080p 60hz :( please help
Hey jarrod, have you ever tried to game in full hd on a 1440 p monitor? How bad is it ? I want an all in one monitor for gaming in hd and browsing in 1440 but I heard it is just so bad and blury to play non native resolution
A15 looks interesting, waiting for availability in my country. I will probably never cover undervolting as it's already been done well by others: th-cam.com/video/yNt9L3BWOFo/w-d-xo.html
They advertise this as being HDR ready (with no certification). I feel like that's clearly a marketing gimmick since it implies being able to display HDR, but at 300 knits with your recorded 1500:1 contrast ratio I seriously doubt it comes close to being regarded as the lowest HDR400 classification
@@JarrodsTech I see thanks. Pretty much thanks to your review I have decided to get one of these!!!! The price is right for me and specs to match, but I will need to figure out how to calibrate the screen to be more colour accurate. I was also considering the LG GK650F but I think the better PPI and the smaller screen did it for me although the LG seems better in every aspect apart from the response time
I have this Monitor but is it supposed to take awhile to turn on normally? If I boot my pc while the screen is in standby or turn off I get a white led light on my mb. I have to quickly time the monitor turning on then quickly hit the power on my pc to bypass white vga light.
I have a video on that so you can compare results :D 1440p 32" was ok for me but many people think the pixels are too spread out due to the larger size.
it's pretty much identical to a 24.5 inch 1080p panel, though I guess if I did want that sharpness boost 27" 1440p is the only choice. been bugging about panels lately trying to build out my game station. alot of releases I was eyeing have been delayed significantly, so for me, this cov thing has just made me sad in so many ways #firstworldproblems
I think this monitor was kind of a betrayal of the customer by MSI. A quick cash-in with something seemingly "cutting edge" and new, at a "reasonable" (not cheap) price, apparently fast and fluid and with good image quality. Then it was slow as heck, like something ancient (and the image quality was hardly worth mentioning). Luckily I decided to send it back after playtests against my old (2013) and even another non-gaming (image editing) monitor. (I bet many "kids" were stuck with it, either because they had to or weren't sure how to judge it.) But then the next year or thereafter they finally brought out something "modern" that is not a straight-up betrayal, it seems. However they betrayed everyone in that year.
I already have videos on both so you can watch both and determine it :) I don't have both monitors together so would be difficult to do a dedicated comparison.
Hey Jarrod, I know this isnt one of ur laptop videos, but i need help. So i need a laptop for school that isn't big and chunky, but still need the processing power to run video games at a decent quality. I also need one that is under $1000 usd. I've had my eye on the Lenovo L340, but am not the most educated in the laptop field. Can yiu help me out please.
L340 should be well under 1000 USD, generally that price range gets you dual channel/i7/1660 Ti in something like Y540 or Helios 300, though price of course varies by region.
@@JarrodsTech Great review as always but it's a shame that the previous model was brighter is this due to the refresh rate bump for 144 to 165hz, have you reviewed gaming monitors with a contract of say 2000:1 or higher? Thank you for making great content and stay safe.

@@JarrodsTech I can get it for the same price..... Which one would u choose personally?
Yes more gaming monitos! Maybe the Dell S3220DGF or Dell S2719DGF !
I'll see what I can do! One more next week for now.
@@JarrodsTech Awesome, Lenovo Legion Y27q-20 is also interesting!
I just bought this monitor. Glad you approved for the price point. I wonder if display to type c will be able to get 165hrz?
Hmmm it apparently uses DisplayPort so depends on the version.
Has anyone bought this and would you recommend it, or is there a better option for a similar price?
Are you going to do the review of Asus Tuf A15 (2060 model)?
Yes, just waiting for availability in my country.
Love the vids man keep it up, I was wondering if you could review the
Samsung LC27HG70QQNXZA sometime. Keep up the great vids
Thanks! I don't currently have any Samsung contacts unfortunately so not something I can get at this time
0:23 cool wallpaper, do you have a link for it ? :o
i want to buy this monitor so what is diffrence between expensive msi and this one pixels hz or i think nothing is diffrent
How does it compare to an IPS panel?
Can you please do a review on the new AOC C27G2Z gaming monitor, I haven’t found any review, not even one
I'll see what I can do, no current contact with AOC though, tried to reach out once and no reply 😰
Jarrod'sTech thats rough lmao
Ordered the 1080p version and didn’t get a display port with it. I also found the preset user game mode very blurry.
increase contrast
Is there a way to manually set the resolution on input coming through the HDMI port to 1440p 144hz? Because whenever I plug my capture card through the HDMI slot I can only get the monitor's resolution on the HDMI input to 1080p 60hz :( please help
Hey jarrod, have you ever tried to game in full hd on a 1440 p monitor?
How bad is it ?
I want an all in one monitor for gaming in hd and browsing in 1440 but I heard it is just so bad and blury to play non native resolution
Yeah it's definitely not great.
Jarrod'sTech thank you 😊
Is the 1500r curve noticeably tighter than the 1800r on the MAG271CQR?
I didn't have them both at the same time, but yeah would be a little tighter.
Hello Jarrod, could you please try the PIB / BIB on this monitor? Do you still have the option for do this?
Just wondering what game you were playing?
Dota 2
can u do a video about undervolting cpu and gpu? and what do u think about asus tuf A15
A15 looks interesting, waiting for availability in my country. I will probably never cover undervolting as it's already been done well by others: th-cam.com/video/yNt9L3BWOFo/w-d-xo.html
Should I get this for my Xbox One S
No
Is the monitor not suppose to be at a 10 bit color instead of 8 bit?
They advertise this as being HDR ready (with no certification). I feel like that's clearly a marketing gimmick since it implies being able to display HDR, but at 300 knits with your recorded 1500:1 contrast ratio I seriously doubt it comes close to being regarded as the lowest HDR400 classification
It's not HDR, they told me it has a mode to try and mimic it, but it does not offer HDR.
@@JarrodsTech I see thanks. Pretty much thanks to your review I have decided to get one of these!!!! The price is right for me and specs to match, but I will need to figure out how to calibrate the screen to be more colour accurate. I was also considering the LG GK650F but I think the better PPI and the smaller screen did it for me although the LG seems better in every aspect apart from the response time
I have this Monitor but is it supposed to take awhile to turn on normally? If I boot my pc while the screen is in standby or turn off I get a white led light on my mb. I have to quickly time the monitor turning on then quickly hit the power on my pc to bypass white vga light.
Better this or LG 27GL83A? The msi one is curved and lg not, and don't reach 165hz, but apart from that? Thanks
Never tested that one so honestly cannot say, I'd just be guessing sorry.
More gaming monitors please, especially curved ones.
Hey man, would you test AOC Q27G2U/CQ27G2U or Msi G241? Thanks
I don't currently have any AOC contacts so can't get anything from them at this time, sorry.
hey jarrod! any idea about the MAG271CQR 2k144hz ? is it a good unit? can it support gsync with dp? thanks!
I have it for a year and yes for the price its actually good! And yes it is supported for g-sync compatibility in only dp
I have a video on it here, and mention it at the end of this video: th-cam.com/video/kGAMQFynhG8/w-d-xo.html
What is a good 1440p 144hz 27 inch that has the best blacks/least back light bleed?
Something like this which uses VA would give better blacks vs IPS, as for bleed hard to say, really varies by panel even of the same model.
Hiii . İ7 9700f , Msi rtx2060 super ventus 8 gb works well in 1440p or should I go with 1080p ? Tyy
Depends on the games and settings, I could see it taking on many titles at 1440p well though.
I’m newbie. I want to that do every pc need to have hardware - desktop? Does this one in the video need? Thank you!
Jarrod, very well done!
Cheers Alex!
BUT is it better than the lg 32gk650g, which is the same price, 32", 165hz, a faster panel, gsync, higher contrast, better colors, etc 🤔
I have a video on that so you can compare results :D 1440p 32" was ok for me but many people think the pixels are too spread out due to the larger size.
it's pretty much identical to a 24.5 inch 1080p panel, though I guess if I did want that sharpness boost 27" 1440p is the only choice. been bugging about panels lately trying to build out my game station. alot of releases I was eyeing have been delayed significantly, so for me, this cov thing has just made me sad in so many ways #firstworldproblems
I think this monitor was kind of a betrayal of the customer by MSI. A quick cash-in with something seemingly "cutting edge" and new, at a "reasonable" (not cheap) price, apparently fast and fluid and with good image quality. Then it was slow as heck, like something ancient (and the image quality was hardly worth mentioning). Luckily I decided to send it back after playtests against my old (2013) and even another non-gaming (image editing) monitor. (I bet many "kids" were stuck with it, either because they had to or weren't sure how to judge it.) But then the next year or thereafter they finally brought out something "modern" that is not a straight-up betrayal, it seems. However they betrayed everyone in that year.
Dose it have black bars around it ?
Its freesync advertised in UK, but nvidia users will have no worries using gsync with it too. The term freesync is slowly becoming arbitrary.
Yeah, worked fine with either.
Do you have a preset to get the best visual for this monitor? Or just like a list I can follow. Just received mine!!!
I don't sorry.
Would you recommend this for Ps5?
Yes it is AMAZING
how did you get it to 2560 by 1440? i got a 1660ti and this exact monitor cant get it past 1920 by 1080. theres no option to go any further up.
Did you buy the 1080p model? 1440p should basically just work otherwise.
anyone got this monitor? any good? any ghosting? hows the picture quality etc?
a MSI Optix MAG272CQR vs BenQ EX3203R Video , please , best value for money
I already have videos on both so you can watch both and determine it :) I don't have both monitors together so would be difficult to do a dedicated comparison.
@@JarrodsTech I've already watched both of your videos. I just wanted to know which one has the best colors. Thank you for everything.
Hey Jarrod, I know this isnt one of ur laptop videos, but i need help. So i need a laptop for school that isn't big and chunky, but still need the processing power to run video games at a decent quality. I also need one that is under $1000 usd. I've had my eye on the Lenovo L340, but am not the most educated in the laptop field. Can yiu help me out please.
L340 should be well under 1000 USD, generally that price range gets you dual channel/i7/1660 Ti in something like Y540 or Helios 300, though price of course varies by region.
Can I use the RGB lighting when connected with my Ps5? If yes, how?
How is the flat version of this monitor , haven't seen any reviews on it.
Haven't had a chance to use it so honestly can't say, could be delays getting it to reviewers due to recent virus issues, may explain lack of reviews.
@@JarrodsTech Great review as always but it's a shame that the previous model was brighter is this due to the refresh rate bump for 144 to 165hz, have you reviewed gaming monitors with a contract of say 2000:1 or higher? Thank you for making great content and stay safe.
Great monitor for Call of Duty Warzone if you have Ryzen 7 3700X and RX 5700XT.
🤩
so it can charge usb c powered laptops? is it using usb PD? any wattage information?
Not sure, didn't see that specified so I guess not but I didn't try it.
Actually u can get 1080p 144hz display for 190$ in India from Acer Nitro series 23.8 inch with freesync too and a. Ips panel only drawback is brightness is 250 nits 😑
Nice, lower res/refresh rate though.
@@JarrodsTech but very good for most of user wont even get 100fps
Nice review mate.
Thanks! 👍
Any reason why this screen doesn't fill to the edge, to the bezel?
I guess it's just the way they make the panels, pretty much nothing does that, there's always the black bit.
Forgot mention the HDR
Yeah because it's not HDR, it has a setting that tries to emulate it but that's it.
Still would been nice to review that though
@@Skuffer2 It sucks at HDR dont bother with it
All I need is a 3440x1440 144hz 1ms 1000R HDR600< display :>
HDR 1440p seems harder to come by 🤔
So basically the x27?
What's ur calibration settings?!?! Plz reply
Can the usb c be using with a MacBook Pro for display?
Yes, it supports DisplayPort over Type-C.
Hey jarrod did you review acer predator helios 500 amd version
Nah they never sent that one to me :(
@@JarrodsTech okay
whats the wallpaper at 0:30 its very nice
i.imgur.com/EqjP9cH.jpg
If you put a hdmi cord in it doesn’t work?
to display 1440p at 165hz you need Displayport
can't find reviews on mag322cqr
Thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
Why isn't there an Australian price bro? Aren't you Aussie?
I mentioned Australian pricing in the video, there are no links because it's not for sale til later this month.
@@JarrodsTech oh okay, sorry, should have watched further, I will continue the video
@@CalSniffsMilo All good! They told me it'd be coming to JB Hifi late April for $829 AUD I think it was (going off memory, but yeah mentioned later in the video).
