MSI and SteelSeries launch Optix MPG curved gaming monitors

MSI and SteelSeries are collaborating once again, and this time they have made a monitor that syncs up with other SteelSeries PC peripherals. This week, the companies launched the Optix MPG displays, which are a pair of 27-inch gaming monitors that feature some impressive specs.

Optix MPG comes in two variations, the MPG27C and the MPG27CQ. Both are the same size with a curved VA 144Hz Adaptive Sync panel. The 27C has a 1080P resolution, however, while the 27CQ does 1440P. That VA technology ensures that the Optix MPG has a wide viewing angle, better color reproduction, and less flicker, but it may also mean more input lag. That’s a common drawback of VA LCDs, but MSI is promising a 1 millisecond response time.
