Great Upgrade From 60hz

MSI 27 inch WQHD 2K 1440P 240Hz IPS with AMD FreeSync Premium 0.5ms HDR Ready Computer Gaming Monitor MAG 274QF X24
MSI 27 inch WQHD 2K 1440P 240Hz IPS with AMD FreeSync Premium 0.5ms HDR Ready Computer Gaming Monitor MAG 274QF X24

Pros: - Great picture quality for an IPS panel - Immersive & speedy for first-person games - HDR support is pretty & vivid with games that support it well

Cons: - There's a minor digital black bevel around the screen in addition to the physical bevel - The bottom of the screen runs a little bit hot when on for more than an hour - The monitor's settings are few and tedious to navigate at first with the single omni-button - The stand is a wide V shape, and is stable but still allows wobbling with the slightest jolts

Overall Review: Great monitor for the price with minor gripes that would most likely still be gripes even with a higher priced monitor. Whenever I get used to the 240hz I shift my games over to my 60hz side monitor and realize how much of a difference quadruple the refresh-rate makes. I cannot go back and even if I further upgrade more in the future, this will make an overkill side monitor.

Everything as Expected

Pros: - Arrived with the listed hardware parts, no downgraded versions or hidden downsides - Looks exactly as the picture on website, even better in person, actually - Booted perfectly with Windows 11 starting pages - No crashes in a month of regular use - Easily customizable Fan Speed Curves & RGB - Parts all perform loads as expected of benchmark tests, nothing slower than usual

Cons: - (Aesthetics) Very miniscule chip on case corner - Size of tower was larger than I expected, but is acceptable for more airflow - Included mouse and keyboard are a little on the lower quality side, so I continued using my previous PC's

Overall Review: In summary, exactly as advertised, with not much at all to complain about. Very pretty build with the power I desired. Not excited to clean the AIO Radiator years down the line, but I am looking forward to having this PC for a long time and will perform the maintenance required. All in all, I'm excited to revisit my graphically intensive games and be prepared for new ones down the line as well.
