[SOLVED] MSI Optix MAG272 27" 165Hz 1Ms or AOC 27G2 27" 144Hz 1Ms?

Hey guys

I am getting a new gaming PC, and with it the required set-up.

I've stumbled upon 2 great monitors, and I'm having a tough time deciding which one to go for, seen that both have almost the same specs and the same price.

MSI Optix MAG272 27" 165Hz 1Ms or AOC 27G2 27" 144Hz 1Ms?

Let me know what you think, and why.

Thanks!

I would personally lean towards the AOC since it has an IPS panel compared to the VA panel of the MSI. While the refresh rate is higher on the MSI, typically VA panels are less consistent in how fast they transition colors between refreshing frames. Although the box may say 1ms response time, that doesn't really mean the monitor consistently performs in that manner. That said most people really can't tell the difference between a 1ms response time vs a 5ms. The IPS panel will more than likely have truer image colors and vibrance, but the VA panel will have better contrast. It's all really up to you and what you think looks best.

I think this video did a great job of comparing and contrasting the differences between the three main types of panels.
