MSI MAG 272URDF E16
The MSI MAG 272URDF E16 is designed for gamers who want both sharp visual fidelity and super smooth motion. It features a 4K UHD resolution (3840 x 2160) at up to 160 Hz, which can drop to Full HD (1920 x 1080) in “Dual Mode” to reach an incredible 320 Hz refresh rate.
Its panel is Rapid IPS with a 0.5 ms grey-to-grey response time for fast transitions and minimal motion blur. Brightness peaks at around 400 nits, matching its DisplayHDR 400 certification, providing decent HDR highlights. The color gamut is broad: about 131% sRGB, 93% DCI-P3, and 88% Adobe RGB, so colors look vivid and accurate.
The monitor supports Adaptive Sync to reduce tearing, and also has HDMI 2.1 x2 and DisplayPort 1.4a for versatile connectivity. The stand is highly adjustable — height, tilt, swivel, pivot — and the monitor supports VESA 100×100 mounting for more flexible setups.
On the design side, it has an anti-glare finish and is Flicker-free with low blue light modes, helpful for long sessions. The chassis includes bezels, but overall the look is gaming-oriented with practical ergonomics.
