MSI unveils G253PF gaming monitor with 380Hz refresh rate

While many are now starting to go for QHD or 4K monitor upgrades, 1080p displays still have the fastest refresh rates. The MSI G253PF is an example of that. Offering a 380Hz refresh rate, MSI's latest gaming monitor is a compelling solution for competitive gaming.

With a 24.5-inch Rapid IPS panel, the MSI G253PF is sized at what many consider to be the maximum acceptable size for a Full HD monitor. Fortunately, that's the resolution the panel has. Other panel characteristics include a whopping 380Hz refresh rate (overclocked), 1ms G2G response time and 106% sRGB and 83% DCI-P3 colour gamut coverages.

Providing a 10-bit colour depth (8-bit + FRC) and up to 400nits of brightness (typical brightness is 320nits), the display was certified under the VESA DisplayHDR 400 standard. Moreover, the monitor has a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and supports Adaptive Sync (G-SYNC Compatible) and console mode (FHD@120Hz). Other features include flicker-free technology, low blue light mode, and Night Vision.

The monitor has a headphone-out jack, 2x HDMI 2.0b ports and a DisplayPort 1.4a. The Included stand offers height adjustment and tilt capabilities, but that can be improved with a VESA 75×75-compatible monitor arm.
