MSI G274QPF-QD (27" 1440p 170Hz Rapid IPS Quantum Dot)

The G274QPF-QD is an enthusiast 27-inch 1440p Rapid IPS monitor running 170Hz with a Quantum Dot layer reaching 95% DCI-P3 for vivid wide-gamut color. It suits gamers who want fast, colorful 1440p without OLED pricing. It's not the panel for true HDR, since the HDR400 backlight is edge-lit, nor for deep blacks given IPS contrast limits.
