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 G272QPF E2180 Hz

Manufacturer specification · Up to 180 Hz at 2560 × 1440 through DisplayPort; HDMI is limited to 144 Hz.

MSI G274QPF170 Hz

Manufacturer specification · At 2560 × 1440 over DisplayPort or USB-C with DP OverClocking on; default 165 Hz. HDMI supports up to 144 Hz. Needs a compatible source and cable; lower the rate if overclocking causes errors.

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.

MSI's specification page and global datasheet give 613 × 228 × 539 mm (W × D × H); the V1.1 manual and UK specification sheet give 613 × 228 × 409 mm. The 130 mm difference equals the stand's 0–130 mm height travel, so one pair gives the highest and the other the lowest stand position; MSI does not label which. · Manufacturer specification · Manufacturer dimensions with the supplied stand; allow extra room for cables and stand movement.
