The MSI Optix G27C4 is a good monitor for gamers. It benefits from very good responsiveness and a high-performance black image insertion system, but it suffers from its limited ergonomics and its perfectible calibration. In the end, it doesn’t really manage to stand out from the competition, especially the AOC 27G2U which, at the same price, is still our preference.

The Lenovo G27c-10 benefits from a good factory calibration which allows it to display faithful colors and an overall good rendering, with in particular deep blacks specific to the VA type panel. However, this monitor suffers from an afterglow time that is much too high, especially for a monitor intended for video games. It therefore has a hard time competing with the AOC C27G1 which, for the same price, is much more responsive.
