Pixel response times
The MSI Optix MAG274QRX is first and foremost a gaming monitor. MSI makes this very clear, as it advertises its eSports ambitions. A 240 Hz refresh rate is not necessarily required for the home office. The only question that remains is whether the panel can make the pixels change colors fast enough Let’s find out…
Overdrive Normal
The normal overdrive is a little too slow for my taste above 180 Hz. However, everything below that is perfectly fine.
Overdrive Fast
Overdrive Fastest
The MSI MAG274QRX offers a real single overdrive experience with Fast Overdrive. In Fast Overdrive – above 200 Hz, you don’t even notice the slight smearing due to the slightly too slow pixel response. Overshoot is also not an issue above 150 FPS. Below 150 FPS to 80 FPS there is a little more overshoot, but you hardly notice it. Finally, at 60 FPS, a kind of variable overdrive is used to stop the overshoot. Why MSI didn’t implement this from 150 Hz remains a mystery to me. I don’t have to say anything about the one millisecond from the MSI advertisement, do I? Yes, I was able to measure this in the Fastest Overdrive in the best case, but the overshoot makes the panel virtually unusable.
Display Latencies
The latencies look pretty decent. Here, the MAG274QRX is exactly where you would expect it to be – alongside the other 240 Hz monitors. In terms of input lag, it is only beaten by the OLED competition – just like its IPS competitors.
If you play fast-paced first-person shooters, you certainly can’t blame the monitor for constantly sending you to respawn. Skill? I’m looking for mine too, by the way, it must be next to my innocence, which I lost years ago. The MAG274QRX is one of the fastest LCD monitors on the market. An E2E latency of under 8 ms is pretty damn good. So much for gaming. Now we come to the topic of color fidelity and here Wellenbrecher told me that he places a lot of value on a good sRGB mode. According to the review by Tim Schiesser (Hardware Unboxed), this should be the case. However, since MSI also released a firmware update after Tim’s review, I’m curious whether this is still the case?
