Micro-Star International, known as MSI, is a computer component and peripheral manufacturer which became one of the more reputable motherboard and graphics card manufacturers in the world shortly after its establishment. Although the company has been known by gamers for a long time through its work in PC components, more recently MSI has also engaged in creating products particularly geared towards gamers.

The MSI MPG ARTYMIS 273CQR is part of the MPG Series that spans both monitors and computers. The monitor features a 27-inch VA panel, which supports up to QHD resolution at 2560 x 1440 and a maximum refresh rate of 165 Hz. While the panel uses a lower-end VA technology, the company has managed to provide high dynamic range (HDR) support via HDR400 certification, which allows more vivid colors. The screen is also 1000R curved, which gives it a better viewing angle all around the screen even when viewed close by.

The Rapid Boost technology of the monitor combines the fast refresh rate with an almost instant response time of 1 millisecond, which allows smooth gameplay without input lag. Both fast refresh rate and response time are essential when playing fast-paced games at high frame rates. There’s also support for AMD FreeSync Premium, which allows tearless and stutter-free gameplay at even lower frame rates. Night Vision feature, on the other hand, allows gamers to see clearer in the dark and perhaps be the first to spot the enemies. Now for a limited time, MSI MPG ARTYMIS 273CQR 27-inch gaming monitor is $299.99.
