27-inch Rapid IPS QHD gaming monitor

The MSI G274QPF is a 27-inch flat panel built for competitive gaming. Its Rapid IPS technology delivers a 1ms grey-to-grey response time at a 2560 x 1440 resolution. The 170Hz refresh rate over DisplayPort provides smooth motion for fast-paced titles.

USB-C with 15W power delivery

A single USB-C port carries DisplayPort Alternate Mode video and supplies up to 15W of power to a connected device. The height-adjustable stand adds 130mm of vertical travel plus pivot, swivel and tilt for ergonomic positioning. Two HDMI 2.0b ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 complete the video inputs.

170Hz overclocked DisplayPort refresh

The panel reaches its peak 170Hz only through DisplayPort overclocking; HDMI is limited to 144Hz at the same resolution. Buyers whose graphics card or laptop lacks DisplayPort 1.4 will not access the maximum refresh rate.

Questions about this item

Will the backlight on the Rapid IPS panel need replacing after long daily use?

The LED backlight is rated for tens of thousands of hours; no user-replaceable parts are inside the monitor.

At 170 Hz overclocked on DisplayPort 1.4, what hits the ceiling first — bandwidth or panel response?

The 1 ms GtG response keeps pace; the 170 Hz ceiling comes from the DisplayPort 1.4 link bandwidth.

How loud are the cooling fans when the screen runs at 400 cd/m² all day?

There are no cooling fans; the monitor relies on passive heat dissipation and stays silent.
