A review of the MSI MPG 274URF QD. A 160Hz 3840 x 2160 '4K' UHD IPS monitor with wide gamut Quantum Dot LED backlight and USB (65W PD) plus KVM. HDMI 2.1 support is included alongside Adaptive-Sync for AMD FreeSync and Nvidia 'G-SYNC Compatible'. Excellent colour output with very wide gamut makes this a versatile choice and aids vibrant output, whilst well-tuned pixel responses provide a convincing 160Hz performance.
