What customers say about "Key Specs"
AOC (C27G1) Curved Full HD Gaming Monitor (Freesync, 144Hz)
- Some people warned me not to buy a 27 inch screen with 1080p resolution. Well I did anyways and Im extremely happy for this price especially.
- I had zero dead pixels and the 144hz refresh rate makes gaming super fluid and the curved screen is an added bonus with great viewing angles.
- The upside of the lower 1080p resolution is that you don't need a monster PC to play at high frame rates.
- Decided on this product against ones with higher resolution, for an everyday office/occasion light game use, and really enjoy using it.
- As the resolution is quite low, the individual pixels are more visible.
MSI Optix MAG271C Curved Gaming Monitor
- Great screen size and resolution.
- I mostly play games on it, but I do watch movies as well, and the resolution is just perfect.
- Well I figured what was important to me was going to be screen size and refresh rate. Really good resolution.
- I liked the screen size, curvature, resolution, and refresh rate.
- The curvature is actually really nice with good resolution of this monitor.

What customers say about "Features"
AOC (C27G1) Curved Full HD Gaming Monitor (Freesync, 144Hz)
- The FreeSync feature is very prominent and noticable while playing games.
- Big screen for gaming. Curve is a nice feature. Stand is fantastic.
- I really wish the design took up less desk space. The height adjustment is a nice feature, though.
- Extremely narrow bezzel makes multi-screen set ups look almost natural and multitasking in several windows becomes trivial.
- One of the main selling points for me would be the fact the screen is both height and angle adjustable.
MSI Optix MAG271C Curved Gaming Monitor
- The base of the monitor is a heavy metal which is a very nice feature.
- There is also a smart headset feature on the left side which is super cool.
- It has some cool features like the stand that pops out from the side to hold a headset
- The ability to put an aiming reticle on the center of the screen really good feature.
- This is a great monitor for gaming, it has many great features that are easy to use such as, different video modes.
