MSI has released the Optix MAG272C monitor that features not only a 27″ screen, a VA-based panel that offers a 1080p resolution, but also the higher refresh rate of 165 Hz. The higher refresh rate isn’t just perfect for gaming but also content creation and content consumption. One feature that gamers will enjoy is the 1500R curvature that MSI has added to the screen allowing all of the screen to stay in your field of view.

The Optix MAG272C monitor features a 1500R curvature to the 27-inch screen that has a 1080p resolution with a refresh rate of up ot 165 Hz

The Optix MAG272C monitor is designed with both gamers and content creators in mind, as the super-narrow bezels can allow for a much more immersive multi-monitor 180-degree setup. The super-narrow bezels also work perfectly in a modern streaming setup. Another reason why the Optix MAG272C monitor is perfect for a tri-monitor set up is the curvature to the 27″ screen, and this screen features a 1500R curvature allowing each edge of the monitor to remain in view with ease.
