Buying call

Buy the MSI MAG 274UPF if you want an affordable 4K gaming monitor that also works well with consoles: reviewers praised its gaming performance, good color, surprisingly decent HDR, HDMI 2.1 and FreeSync and G-Sync support. Skip it if you want a big 4K screen, since 27 inches is small for 4K, or OLED-level contrast. Some inverse ghosting shows at 144Hz.
