About this product
The MSI G281UV is a 28-inch 4K UHD IPS gaming monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate, 4ms response time, and AMD FreeSync support. It features a 300 cd/m² brightness, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, and inputs including DisplayPort and HDMI. Priced at $215.00, it's an affordable entry into 4K gaming.
Our take
For the price, the MSI G281UV is a decent 4K monitor. The 28-inch IPS panel has good viewing angles and colors are acceptable out of the box. The 60Hz refresh rate and 4ms response time are fine for casual gaming, but competitive players will want faster. FreeSync helps reduce tearing with compatible GPUs. However, the stand is basic and lacks height adjustment. If you're on a tight budget and want 4K, this is a viable option, but don't expect high refresh rate performance.
