Pros and cons
According to our monitor expert
- Thanks to the 170Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, you can game with smooth images even in the most demanding situations.
- You can synchronize your AMD video card with the monitor with the FreeSync Premium technology which prevents screen tearing while you game.
- You can game in Full HD at 120Hz when you connect your console, like the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S.
- The monitor without monitor arm isn't adjustable in height and doesn't have built-in speakers to play the sound of your games.
- You don't get an HDMI cable with this monitor, so you have to purchase it separately.
Description
Defeat your online opponents with the MSI Optix G2712 27-inch 170Hz Full HD gaming monitor. With the 170Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, you can game with smooth images and you're a step ahead of your opponents. That way, you always have an advantage even in demanding situations and scenes. Have an AMD video card? The FreeSync Premium technology makes sure your GPU and monitor work together smoothly, also when you game in HDR. Because it syncs the refresh rates, you avoid screen tearing while you game. The G2712 is also compatible with next gen consoles, like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Connect these to the HDMI 1.4 connector and play your games at 120Hz in Full HD. Done with gaming and want to watch a movie? You can see the same sharp colors and images from every viewing angle on the IPS panel, even when you're not directly in front of the screen. That makes watching together a lot easier.
Note: the maximum refresh rate via HDMI is 144Hz. If you want to game at 170Hz, you have to connect the monitor via the DisplayPort.

This screen is very good for gaming on a budget. Price-quality is excellent and the build quality is nothing to complain about. For a higher pixel density, you should go for a 24-inch screen or 1440p, which costs a bit more.
