MSI introduces the Optix MAG274R gaming monitor

MSI is set to launch a new gaming monitor. The MSI Optix MAG274R is MSI's latest IPS esports monitor featuring a high refresh rate and fast response time, designed to deliver an enhanced viewing and gaming experience.

Sporting a 27-inch IPS panel with 144Hz refresh rate, 1080p resolution, and 1ms response time, the Optix MAG274R is aimed at competitive gamers, particularly those who play fast-paced games. Thanks to the panel's IPS technology, this monitor offers wide viewing angles of 178° (H) / 178° (V), preventing colour shift as your viewing position changes. This 10-bit (8-bit + FRC) panel covers 95% of the DCI-P3 wide colour gamut, and 132% of the sRGB colour gamut, while also boasting 300nits of brightness and contrast ratio of 1000:1.

There's support for AMD FreeSync Premium (48Hz – 144Hz) and HDR content. The screen also features MSI's ‘Night Vision', designed to enhance darker scenes, and the Gaming OSD App 2.0 which lets users manage the monitor's settings and create keybinds to adjust the display.

As for connectivity options, there are 1x DisplayPort 1.2a, 2x HDMI 2.0b ports, 1x USB Type-C (DP. alt mode), a 3.5mm audio jack and a USB hub with 2x USB Type-A ports, and 1x USB 2.0 Type-B port. Additionally, the stand can be adjusted by tilting (-5°~20°), swivelling (-75°~75°), pivoting (-90°~90°, and adjusting the height (0~100mm). There's also VESA 100x100mm mounting support if you wish to change the stand.

Pricing and availability details have not yet been disclosed. You can learn more about the MSI Optix MAG274R HERE.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
