Our Verdict
MSI G274QPF-QD
LG 24GS65F-B
The MSI G274QPF-QD and the LG 24GS65F-B are both cheap gaming monitors, but they have different specs. The MSI has the bigger 27-inch screen with a higher 1440p resolution, so images are more detailed. That said, the lower resolution on the LG requires less bandwidth from your graphics card, and you can reach its max refresh rate over HDMI, unlike on the MSI. Though, the MSI is a bit more versatile overall, as it supports more signals from gaming consoles, and it has a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode, which the LG doesn't have.
