MSI MPG Artymis 273CQRX-QD review 2024: for work and play

If you want to improve your monitor, you have a lot of options, but a curved display is one that looks especially good. Curved monitors can often be bought for the same price as flat monitors of the same size, but they give you a more immersive experience with a screen that wraps around you, which is great for games. The MSI MPG ARTYMIS 273CQRX-QD is made for just that: gaming.

This is a great monitor for gamers because it has a super-fast refresh rate, an ultra-low response time, and a fairly noticeable curvature. It also has other gamer-focused features, like support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. But there is also a lot to entice artistic people here. The 27-inch screen size gives you a lot of room to work on design or editing projects, and the 95% DCI-P3 color space coverage is as good as some screens made specifically for video editing.

Design and Features

The MSI MPG Artymis 273CQRX-QD has the kind of features that will stand out in a market with a lot of competition. The science behind Quantum Dots is a good place to start. Pure blue, red, and green light comes from these LEDs to make colors that are brighter and stronger.

MSI says that this technology means the Artymis can show all of the colors in the sRGB space and almost all of the colors in the DCI-P3 space with more power than other screens.The 2560 x 1440 resolution is better than 1080p, and it won’t be as hard on graphics as a 4K panel. Still, you should be aware of the GPU requirements of the games you want to play. You can buy this monitor from its official website

MSI MPG Artymis 273CQRX-QD review: Display

The MPG Artymis 273CQRX-QD is a good competitor. The Alienware AW2721D is more expensive, but its IPS display has the same resolution and refresh rate as the MSI. However, it only has a 3ms response time, doesn’t have Quantum Dot LEDs, and isn’t curved.

The Samsung Odyssey G7 has the same resolution, frame rate, curve radius, and screen size as the MSI. It also has a 10-bit VA display without Quantum Dot internals.

Connectivity

There are ports for everyone on the MPG ARTYMIS 273CQR. On the back of the monitor, facing the ground, there is a power jack for the external 20V power block, a DisplayPort, two HDMI ports, and one USB-C port for audio and video links. For PC accessories, there is also a 3.5mm microphone jack, 2 USB-A ports, and 1 Upstream (USB Type-B) port.

Even though ports that face the ground instead of a wall are great for keeping cords organized, they can be very hard to plug a cord into. We found that the best way to connect the cable was to lift the monitor to its highest point, use the flashlight on my phone to see what we were doing, and then use my left hand to connect the cable.

MSI MPG Artymis 273CQRX-QD review: Performance

The main screen specs of the MPG ARTYMIS 273CQRX-QD indicate that it will be a great TV to watch. And there aren’t many things we don’t like about it for both general watching and gaming.

With a 1ms response time and a high frame rate, there is no noticeable screen lag when playing games. This was shown to be true by a benchmark test of reaction time, which also showed no ghosting of images. The image contrast and brightness are also very good.

Final Words

The idea of a monitor that works well in different situations is very appealing, and on paper, the MSI MPG ARTYMIS 273CQRX-QD should be able to do just that. During the day, it should be the perfect work monitor for creatives, and at night, it should be the best gaming screen.

But even though 273CQRX-QD is a great gaming monitor, we’d have a hard time recommending it to artistic people who need color certainty. The VA LCD panel on the screen has a limited viewing angle, so colors change when watched from off-center. This makes the statistically good color accuracy useless.
