Key Features of the MSI MAG 275QF
180Hz High Refresh Rate
The 180Hz refresh rate provides frequent screen updates for smooth motion, making it suitable for competitive shooters, racing games, sports titles and other fast-paced gaming experiences. A compatible PC and connection are required to achieve the maximum refresh rate.
Rapid IPS Panel
Rapid IPS technology is designed to combine fast pixel response with the wide viewing angles associated with IPS displays. It helps deliver clear, detailed images for gaming and everyday content.
0.5ms GTG Response Time
The 0.5ms GTG minimum response-time specification is designed to minimise pixel transition time and support clearer movement during fast gameplay. Actual response behaviour can vary with the selected settings and operating conditions.
WQHD 2560 × 1440 Resolution
The WQHD resolution delivers detailed images and additional workspace compared with Full HD. It is useful for seeing more in-game detail while also supporting productivity, browsing and multimedia tasks.
AMD Adaptive-Sync
Adaptive-Sync synchronises the display refresh rate with compatible graphics output to help reduce screen tearing and stuttering. MSI lists a supported dynamic refresh-rate range of 48–180Hz.
AI Vision Technology
MSI AI Vision adjusts brightness and image presentation to help reveal details in darker areas while enhancing overall image visibility. Its effect depends on the content and selected display settings.
HDR Ready Support
HDR Ready support provides compatibility with supported HDR-related content and signals. The monitor has a typical SDR brightness of 300 nits; HDR Ready should not be confused with a premium HDR certification.
Wide Colour Gamut
Support for 1.07 billion display colours and a wide colour gamut helps deliver vibrant game environments, colourful images and detailed multimedia content. Colour coverage varies by the measurement standard used.
Anti-Flicker Technology
MSI Anti-Flicker technology is designed to reduce visible screen flicker and support a more comfortable viewing experience during longer gaming or working sessions.
Less Blue Light
Less Blue Light provides a software-based option for reducing blue-violet light emission. Users can adjust the display to suit their preferred viewing conditions.
Console Mode and VRR
Console Mode supports compatible console connections, including supported 1440p output up to 120Hz on suitable devices. VRR support depends on the connected console, signal and settings.
Frameless Design
The frameless design gives the monitor a clean, modern appearance and is useful for users building a multi-monitor gaming or productivity setup.
HDMI and DisplayPort Connectivity
Two HDMI 2.0b inputs and one DisplayPort input allow compatible PCs, consoles and other devices to be connected. The maximum supported refresh rate depends on the port and input resolution.
100 × 100mm VESA Mount
VESA mounting support lets users install the monitor on a compatible monitor arm or wall mount. Check the mount's weight capacity and installation requirements before use.
Adjustable Tilt Stand
The supplied stand supports tilt adjustment from -5° to +20°, helping users position the screen for their desk setup and preferred viewing angle.
Built for Competitive Gaming and Everyday Entertainment
The MSI MAG 275QF is designed for players who value fast screen updates, responsive motion and detailed visuals. The 180Hz refresh rate can provide a smoother experience in competitive games when the computer or console delivers a compatible high-frame-rate signal.
The 27-inch WQHD panel offers a balance between screen detail and workspace, making it useful beyond gaming. Users can also take advantage of the display for web browsing, media playback, study and general desktop tasks.
For compatible consoles, the monitor supports selected high-refresh-rate modes through HDMI, including WQHD up to 144Hz as listed in MSI's specifications. Actual output depends on the console, game, selected resolution and supported signal settings.

Important Notes Before Purchase
- The monitor's maximum refresh rate is 180Hz over a supported DisplayPort connection. MSI lists HDMI 2.0b support for WQHD up to 144Hz. The actual refresh rate depends on the source device, cable, resolution and settings.
- The 0.5ms GTG response time is a minimum specification and should not be interpreted as a guarantee of identical pixel response in every operating mode.
- HDR Ready does not mean the monitor has a premium HDR certification. The typical SDR brightness is 300 nits.
- The monitor does not include built-in speakers. Use headphones, an external speaker system or audio equipment connected to a compatible source.
- The supplied stand supports tilt adjustment only. Height, swivel and pivot adjustments are not specified for the included stand.
- A 100 × 100mm VESA mounting pattern is supported. Confirm mount compatibility and load capacity before installation.
- Colour-gamut percentages are measured using different CIE standards. Area coverage and overlap values should not be treated as interchangeable colour-accuracy certifications.
- The official MSI India specification page lists DisplayPort 1.2a, while MSI's global product specifications list DisplayPort 1.4. Check the exact regional model and supplied documentation if port-version requirements are important to your setup.
- Specifications, accessories, warranty terms and energy-label information can vary by market and may be updated by the manufacturer. Confirm the details with the local seller before purchasing.
