MSI recently announced its latest e-Sports Gaming Monitors, Optix MAG273 and MAG273R, delivering high refresh rates and fast response times for those who demand performance.
Both the Optix MAG273 and MAG273R are equipped with IPS panels that produce no image distortion, minimum color shifts, and clear details, allowing you to enjoy every scene at its best.
144Hz Refresh Rate and 1ms Response Time are both beneficial to pro gamers, especially those who play games that involve a lot of fast movements – FPS, Racing Sims, RTS, and sports, etc.
Both are also equipped with HDR technology for images that exude details, a wider range of colors and look similar to what the human eye sees.
Both monitors are bolstered with the Gaming OSD App, which allows you to adjust your monitor’s various settings. The Night Vision feature enhances dark areas on the screen without overexposing the entire screen for a comfortable viewing experience.
