The MSI MAG 274UPDF E16M gaming monitor combines a 27" screen size with a 4K UHD 3840 × 2160 resolution on a Rapid IPS panel, backlit by Mini-LED technology with 1,152 dimming zones. For competitive gamers, it offers a special Dual-Mode that switches between 4K at 160Hz and Full HD at 320Hz. The screen, with a 0.5ms (GtG) response time and VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification, displays content with high contrast and a brightness of up to 1,000cd/m². Quantum Dot technology ensures accurate colours with 98% DCI-P3 and 100% Adobe RGB coverage. This monitor, featuring a USB-C port, is a versatile solution for both work and gaming.

Flexibility for both gaming and work is provided by the Dual-Mode, which allows the user to switch between the native 4K resolution at 160Hz for detailed visuals and Full HD resolution at 320Hz for high fluidity in competitive games. Efficiency is enhanced by a USB-C port that transmits the video signal and powers the connected device with 15W of power via a single cable. Features like AI Navigator automatically adjust settings, and AI Vision improves the visibility of details in dark scenes. The Picture-by-Picture (PbP) function displays content from two different sources simultaneously.

The image quality is built on Rapid IPS technology with Mini-LED backlighting, which utilises 1,152 local dimming zones. This solution creates high contrast and deep black reproduction. The monitor has received VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification with a peak brightness of 1,000cd/m². Thanks to Quantum Dot technology and 10-bit colour depth (8-bit + FRC), it offers colour coverage of 143% sRGB, 100% Adobe RGB, and 98% DCI-P3. Smooth, tear-free visuals are supported by AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible technologies.

The manufacturer designed the monitor stand for full customisation of your work or gaming position. You can adjust the screen height within a 110mm range, making it easy to find the optimal eye level. The panel can also be tilted from -5° to +20° to eliminate glare. For collaboration or sharing content, it can be swivelled 30° to each side. Furthermore, the pivot function allows you to rotate the screen 90° to a vertical position, which is ideal for programming or reading long documents. For mounting on a wall or an external arm, the monitor is equipped for a VESA mount with a 100 × 100mm spacing.

The connector setup includes modern ports for connecting both gaming and work devices. There is one DisplayPort 1.4a, two HDMI 2.1 ports, and a versatile USB-C with DisplayPort Alternate Mode support. For games console owners, there is a Console Mode that activates Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) for a smooth experience. The monitor also integrates HDMI CEC for controlling connected devices. Gamers can use the Aim Magnifier feature, a digital magnifying glass for more precise aiming in games.
