Key strengths
Two HDMI 2.0b inputs and DisplayPort 1.4a run the 27-inch 4K IPS panel at 60 Hz. MSI lists 98% DCI-P3 coverage and 8-bit + FRC colour, plus HDMI VRR and an sRGB preset.
PIP accepts up to 4K at 60 Hz; side-by-side PBP accepts 1080p at 60 Hz per input. Eye-Q reference tools and a stand accessory slot are included.
Before you buy
MSI's documents list the net weight as 3.95 kg and 3.9 kg, and the manual mentions pivoting but only shows tilt; check portrait rotation on the listing if you need it.
PIP/PBP disables Adaptive-Sync and HDMI CEC; HDR is unavailable in those modes. There is no USB-C or USB hub, and the stand has no height adjustment.
Only a 4 ms GtG response time is listed with no MPRT mode documented, and power comes from an external 12 V adapter.
Every specification. With its source.
