MSI Optix G273 Review

The LG 27GP950-B beats it out the Optix G273 in terms of resolution, as its 4K screen delivers sharper picture quality compared to that of the G273, which has a 1080p resolution.

While the MSI Optix G273 delivers pretty solid gaming features and brightness levels, the Optix G273QF is just a cut above it in terms of screen resolution and contrast. The G273 has a 1080p screen and a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and is outclassed by the G273QF’s 1440p screen and 1200:1 contrast ratio.

The G273 does prove to be a better pick compared to the MSI Optix MAG271CQR, as it delivers more accurate color, and is also NVIDIA G-Sync compatible.

The MSI Optix G273 has slightly wider viewing angles compared to the Samsung G7 Odyssey, which has a curved screen. The Samsung may be ideal for users who would want to enjoy an immersive viewing experience, but, despite it having a curved screen. This makes the Optix is a much better alternative for co-op gaming.

Released in November 2021, The MSI Optix G273 came about six months after its predecessor, the Optix G272, with a few subtle improvements that might make a difference for users who want to get the most value for their money. The G273 features an increased brightness level of 300 nits compared to the G272’s 250 nits, as well as an extra HDMI port for added convenience. The G273 also features HDR support which is lacking in the G272.
