MSI MAG 27CQ6F gaming monitor debuts with 2.5K 180 Hz curved panel

The MSI MAG 27CQ6F has been officially announced. It’s a 27-inch gaming monitor that features a “Rapid VA” panel. To be specific, the VA panel features a 0.5 ms GtG response time. Combined with the 180 Hz refresh rate, this fast response rate makes the display deliver “a competitive edge” in fast-paced games.

To smoothen the gameplay even further, the MAG 27CQ6F features Adaptive Sync. Similar to Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync, this display tech syncs the refresh rate with the GPU to eliminate stuttering and tearing. As a result, you get a smooth gaming experience.

As for the resolution, the VA panel of the MAG 27CQ6F has support for up to 2560 x 1440 pixels. Besides, MSI has integrated Anti-Flicker technology, which aims to offer a comfortable viewing experience by lowering the flicker rate. It also comes with TÜV Rheinland certification for low blue light output.

In addition, the MSI MAG 27CQ6F sports a wide color gamut, with the sRGB coverage at 105%. The monitor also has some gaming features, such as Smart Crosshair and Optix Scope for aim assistance and AI Vision for better visuals in dark areas.
