THE DIFFERENCES, MADE VISIBLE

Visual facts

Differences first. Select a topic for its graphic, sources and conditions.

How to read this comparison
  • Manufacturer facts for the exact models shown. Not a quality rating or a test result.
  • “Different” means the known values differ, not that one is better.
  • Missing or conflicting evidence is marked and never counts as a difference. Source chips hold each fact’s sources and conditions.

Max refresh

Maximum manufacturer-listed refresh rate, not measured motion clarity. The port-specific limits below matter; HDMI and DisplayPort can support different modes.

MSI G242L E14144 Hz

Manufacturer specification · Up to 144 Hz at 1920 × 1080 through HDMI or DisplayPort.

MSI G255F180 Hz

Manufacturer specification · Up to 180 Hz at 1920 × 1080 through DisplayPort or HDMI.

Explore the full specifications

Match the monitor to the connection. Refresh limits depend on the input, cable and source device. Confirm the exact regional ports, stand adjustment and mount. Manufacturer response-time methods such as MPRT and GtG are different; neither the image nor these figures establish an independent motion or colour-quality test.

What it brings

What to check

MSI G255F

What it brings

What to check

  • The supplied stand has no height, swivel or portrait-pivot adjustment, and this G255F model has no built-in speakers. The adjustable, speaker-equipped G255PF E2 is a different model.
  • MPRT needs more than 85 Hz and cannot operate with Adaptive-Sync. The manual also excludes MPRT from its Flicker Free claim.
  • MSI's datasheet lists HDR as not available while the shared manual mentions HDR input, so do not count on HDR.
