Community Reviews

This refurbished 27 inch curved MSI gaming monitor stands out as a cheap 1440p, 180Hz option that can look surprisingly good for gaming and media. The panel has been described as decent to better than a pricier Samsung IPS, and the curved screen is not distracting once in use. NVIDIA owners can also force G Sync over DisplayPort with FreeSync enabled. The main catch is the rebate, which is central to the deal and has raised concerns about eligibility, UPC issues, and even conflicting support info. A solid budget pick if the rebate process works out.

Common Questions (5)

  • The 27-inch curved VA panel is generally described as not distracting in normal use, and it can be a good fit for gaming and media. It is still a curved screen, so it is best for shoppers who are comfortable with that format.

  • The deal is advertised with a $50 mail-in rebate, but support reportedly said there is no rebate on this refurbished item and that rebates are usually not available on refurbs. If you buy it, verify the current item details before relying on the rebate.

  • Some units arrive in great shape and look like new, but others have shown issues such as heavy dust, grime, a smeared UPC, or even a missing power supply. Refurb condition appears inconsistent, so inspect the unit and accessories right away.

  • Paze can be used to buy Newegg gift cards and may reimburse up to two $50 cards, letting you cover most of the purchase and pay only the remaining balance plus tax. $50 is the minimum card amount, and $10 Newegg gift cards or third-party gift cards are not available through Paze.

  • It does not officially support G-SYNC, but it can reportedly be used with NVIDIA cards by connecting over DisplayPort, enabling FreeSync in the monitor menu, and turning on G-SYNC in NVIDIA Control Panel. VA-panel quirks such as occasional flicker may appear if the frame rate drops.

Ordered one. Arrived filthy, covered in dust and grime and no power supply. Processing return now. Maybe just bad luck, but wanted to let y'all know.

I stopped buying from Newegg after I bought a "NEW" projector from them that clearly was not new in any way shape or form. Someone had even left their Netflix account still logged into the OS of projector lol I had to go thru the annoying RMA process to get refunded.

I ordered one. I have not ordered anything from Newegg in like 10 years after they screwed me over MASSIVELY.

I need a new monitor, I have a $90 at retail monitor from Amazon after my old one died and been looking 27", 1440P, 0.5ms and HDR ready?

WTF is HDR ready? Does it have it or not?

I guess, I'll see how good a $60 monitor is, once I get it in, confirm I will not be returning, then the rebate will go out right away.

Let's see if newegg can't screw this one up.

Looking for my son as a gift. This does not support nvidia G-SYNC right? He has an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Overclocked.

it does not officially support G-sync but as long as you use displayport you can force activate g-sync (make sure freesync is on in the monitor's menu, and in the nvidia control panel on the PC run through "set up g-sync") and the monitor will sync to prevent tearing. But supposedly there are some quirks when doing this, especially on VA panels, such as occaional flickering if the framerate drops below a certain level. Not sure how bad the quirks can be.

some discussion on the topic here...

I haven't done any rebates in last 15 years and not going to do one now. Will look for other flat screen options for $100.

As for rebates, I do them all the time for engine oil. They're easier now with online submissions and Venmo, PP, etc payouts.

I got one and it looks much better than my significantly more expensive samsung ips monitor from last black friday. I use it for gaming and media consumption. Was a bit skeptical about the curved screen but it's not distracting.
How is the VA panel color? people say VA is not as good as IPS for color production.

So many variables in the manufacturing of panels where really there is no wrong or right answer to this just depends on how it was made.

I bit for my 12 year old son. It'll be a "big" holiday gift; start shopping now! I'm a video engineer and I wasn't expecting to be wowed, but the image quality is decent. I'm sure he'll be supper happy, and he'll like that he can "flex" about curved 😅. We just did his first gaming build on an $870 budget that he saved up for.

I'll write back if I get the rebate or not 🤞. I used to shop Newegg all the time. But since third party sellers started I've only bought a few things. I also hate paying sales tax on rebates. It's 11.25% where I am, so there went five bucks.

Silly question on this, as I have not rebates in over 10 years.

On the UPC there is 2, one with all the specs on the monitor another on the bottom of the box with a UPC on it....

I had a huge problem with them. They didn't charge tax, never worried about it, I was building custom gaming machines those years and selling them. One year, I was busy, like 15 custom machines, I ordered everything from them, fair pricing and fast shipping at the time.

So, I made about $100-200 a machine, during the year all about 10-15 machines, I made about $1400 out of it.... Newegg starts reporting taxes at the end of the year.

At the end of the year, no notice, just random get a bill for $2400 in taxes for all the items I ordered from them.

I would of passed the charge to the customer, if I knew, instead I worked many hours and lost over $1200 on that year, I stopped selling PCs after that.

Closed the account with newegg, this is the first purchase in over 10 years from them.
