A PC is an essential tool for office workers in this era. Therefore, depending on how the PC is configured, the performance of the work can vary greatly. In particular, the monitor is like a canvas for drawing, and it has an absolute impact on work processing. Just as if the viewing angle is not appropriate or there is a problem with picture quality, fatigue rises and efficiency drops. ‘Modern MD272PW IPS Eye Care PD65’, which MSI launched in the domestic market, is a high-performance work monitor for office workers and students who work in front of a PC for a long time. It includes a multi-stand that can properly change the position of the screen and the adoption of a USB Type-C port that can supply up to PD65W. In particular, to protect the user’s eyesight, a more enhanced high-performance blue light reduction function was added to the existing product, and a 75Hz refresh rate was implemented to show smooth images. In addition, the KVM function required in a specific office environment is also built into the monitor. You can control two PCs with one keyboard and mouse, so space utilization is excellent. It is a monitor with a very high level of satisfaction with the design, enough to win the ‘2021 Red Dot Winner’.

It has a modern yet sensuous design with an emphasis on white color. The sophisticated look that suits any atmosphere is enough to boost the purchase desire. Just by placing it on the table, it serves as an object for interior decoration. It is a stylish monitor with a trendy sensibility and a perfect finish.

Except for the lower part, the width of the top and left and right bezels is very narrow. In particular, the off bezel, which refers to the bezel when the power is turned off, is so thin that you can hardly feel its presence. It plays a part in creating a simple yet luxurious image. It also helps to focus more on the screen and makes the screen appear larger. In a multi-display environment where several monitors are placed side by side, the space between the monitors is minimized to create an atmosphere as if using one large display.
 |
||
The pure white stand supports the monitor stably. The stand adopts a tool-less method that can be easily assembled with bare hands without any tools.
 |
||
A cable holder is attached to keep the cables neatly organized. The meticulous attention to detail is evident.
 |
||
Buttons for monitor settings are on the lower right. It consists of 5 buttons including the power button. The menu is organized in the form of a tree that extends from left to right, so it is easy to move and navigate between menus.

Adopts USB Type-C port to power PD65W
Improve work efficiency by supporting KVM
The port for video input is on the back. In addition to the commonly used HDMI, it also has a DP port. However, there is another port that stands out, and it is ‘USB Type-C’. If your laptop or tablet PC supports DP Alt mode output through USB Type-C, you can use it instead of HDMI or DP. In addition, since it contains USB-PD technology capable of transmitting power of up to 65W, video input/output and laptop charging can be solved with a single USB-C cable. This means that you do not need to connect a separate power source to the laptop by simply connecting the USB Type-C cable to the monitor.
 |
||
You can also see the USB port. It can be connected to a PC and used as a USB hub. However, in addition to simple hub functions, it also supports KVM switch functions, expanding its use in work environments. KVM is an acronym for keyboard, video monitor, and mouse, and refers to a switch that can control multiple PCs with a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor. If a desktop PC and a laptop are used at the same time due to the nature of work, or a network separation PC is used separately for security reasons, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor must be connected to each PC separately. However, if you use a KVM switch, you can use a PC alternately with one keyboard, mouse, and monitor, so it is much more convenient and you can use your desk more leisurely and spaciously.
 |
||
| ▲ Supports KVM switch function. | ||
Meanwhile, the monitor has a built-in stereo speaker that produces 2W+2W output. You can hear pretty good sound even without connecting external speakers. Since there is a commonly used 3.5mm stereo audio output terminal, you can connect headphones/earphones and listen to music quietly by yourself.
Supports various modes such as tilt, swivel, elevation, and pivot
The stand has a special function. In addition to tilt, which is provided for most monitors, it is possible to manipulate such as swivel, elevation, and pivot, so you can look at the monitor in a more stable and comfortable position depending on the installation environment.
 |
||
| ▲ Equipped with a multi-stand. | ||
Tilt, which adjusts the vertical angle of the monitor, can be adjusted within the range of +20° to -5°. An appropriate angle can be maintained according to the user’s line of sight or the height of the monitor.
 |
||
An elevation function is provided to adjust the height of the monitor. The monitor can be raised and lowered within a range of up to 110 mm. It is no longer necessary to place a book or stand under the monitor to maintain eye contact.
 |
||
There is also a swivel function that allows you to rotate the monitor left and right. The monitor can be rotated left and right within the range of +30° to -30°, or 180°. You can switch the screen to the desired direction no matter where you place the monitor. Or when you need to share the screen with a co-worker in the office, it’s convenient because you can easily turn it around.
 |
||
A pivot function that allows the monitor to be used vertically is also provided. It is suitable for environments where there is a lot of document creation or chart work. In particular, when two or more monitors are connected, the pivot mode provides a larger work space and screen size, which enhances the sense of reality in games and improves work efficiency in daily work.
 |
||
In particular, the pivot mode is very useful when viewing direct-cam vertical video or SNS images and videos that are popular these days. It can be viewed in an aspect ratio that is almost full vertically without black spaces on the left and right of a normal horizontal screen.
 |
||
| ▲ Using the pivot mode, you can watch videos such as direct cams on a full screen. | ||
On the other hand, when the stand is removed, a 75*75 vesa hall appears on the back of the monitor. It can be attached to a monitor arm, which is widely used these days, and can be fixed to a wall or used by attaching other special-purpose stands.
 |
||
| ▲ 75*75 VESA mount is supported. | ||
Excellent wide viewing angle characteristics using FHD IPS panel
The 27-inch screen is the most suitable for everyday use, such as web surfing and office work, and the entire screen is visible at a glance. The resolution supports FHD (1920*1080), which is higher than HD. It provides ample space even when two or three windows are open at the same time, so it is convenient to handle multiple tasks at the same time.
 |
||
I used an IPS panel that produces bright and clear picture quality, and the wide viewing angle characteristics are very good, so it is bright and clear without color distortion no matter what direction you look at it from up, down, left, or right. Response time is good at 5ms. There is almost no followingimage, so fast-moving images are displayed clearly. Due to the nature of the IPS panel, the contrast ratio supports 1000:1.
 |
||
| ▲ An IPS panel with excellent wide viewing angle characteristics was used. | ||
 |
||
 |
||
It supports a relatively high color reproduction rate to enhance the quality of work with more reasonable colors. In the case of sRGB, which can be said to be the standard for color gamut of LCD monitors, the size of the color gamut was 92.9% when measured directly. Since the original color is reproduced as faithfully as possible, it has the effect of enhancing realism and immersion.
 |
||
 |
||
| ▲ The area marked with dotted lines is sRGB, and the area marked with rainbow colors is the color space supported by the monitor. | ||
The luminance characteristics are also acceptable for office use. When measured directly, the maximum brightness is regarding 232.1cd/㎡, and it is not a big difference from general monitors, but it feels bright and bright with the addition of IPS panel characteristics.
 |
||
It supports 7 screen modes so that you can view the screen in the optimal screen setting state according to the working environment. There are various modes such as Eco mode to reduce power consumption, sRGB mode to work with more accurate colors, and Black-White mode to convert the screen to a black wall, as well as movies and offices.
 |
||
| ▲ Supports 7 screen modes. | ||
Supports 75Hz refresh rate… Smooth video playback with adaptive sync technology
It operates at a refresh rate of 75 Hz, which is higher than that of a general monitor (60 Hz). It is not a gaming monitor, but by raising the refresh rate to the next level, you can enjoy better quality images than existing monitors. Motion is very smooth in sports videos with fast scene transitions.
 |
||
| ▲ 75Hz refresh rate is supported. | ||
Adaptive Sync (AMD Free Sync) technology is also included to solve the screen tearing problem by synchronizing the video signal between the graphics card and the monitor. When the FreeSync function is activated, the video signal output from the graphics card and the refresh rate of the monitor screen are synchronized to solve unnatural output problems such as screen tearing or stuttering. That way, you can focus more on the screen. Adaptive Sync can be used in compatibility mode on AMD graphics cards as well as Nvidia GTX/RTX graphics cards.
 |
||
| ▲ Supports adaptive sync, a refresh rate synchronization technology. | ||
 |
||
| ▲ If you enable Adaptive Sync, you can use the related function in the AMD graphics card settings. It can be seen that the refresh rate is variably changed within the range of 48 Hz to 75 Hz. | ||
Equipped with more powerful blue light reduction technology
Office workers who spend most of their day in front of a PC. As such, the strong light emitted from the monitor increases eye fatigue. MSI has strengthened the function for eye health in consideration of the environment where PC work is inevitable for a long time at work. The first thing to look at is blue light (blue light) reduction technology, which is known to be harmful to the eyes due to its relatively high energy compared to other lights. In particular, unlike existing products that noticeably emphasize yellow by removing the entire blue wavelength part, this monitor minimizes color distortion by reducing the problematic wavelength part among blue wavelengths. Blue light can be reduced without any discomfort, so the eyes are much more comfortable.

||
| ▲ Equipped with a high-performance blue light reduction function that removes only harmful blue light wavelengths. | ||
Flicker-free technology is also used to eliminate minute flickering that is not directly visible to our eyes but appears depending on the brightness of the LCD. Screen flicker greatly improves fatigue when exposed to the eyes for a long time and can appear as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), so it is becoming an essential function of LCD monitors. In particular, the highly reliable TUV Rheinland Research Center has been recognized for its anti-flicker technology, so you can feel different comfort from other monitors. In addition, to minimize unnecessary light reflection, the panel surface was treated with an anti-reflective coating (anti-glare). As the surrounding light source shines on the monitor, it prevents the viewing of a specific location and blocks the cause of increasing eye fatigue.
Work monitor that improves productivity even more with a mini PC
The ‘Modern MD272PW IPS Eye Care PD65’ is quite different from the previously released commercial monitors. It is a monitor that helps you focus more on your work with differentiated features and performance, including a USB Type-C port including USB PD, a multi-stand that supports pivot mode, and a KVM switch function. Compared to other monitors with similar specifications, it has a reasonable price, so it is good for individuals who do a lot of PC work. In particular, it is optimal for work environments that value space efficiency. When used with MSI’s high-performance mini PC ‘MSI PRO DP21 series’, the desk can be used widely, and in an environment where two PCs must be used at the same time due to the nature of work, the mini PC not only saves space, but also provides convenience with the built-in KVM switch. can enjoy If you choose a monitor for the best work efficiency, it is a recommended product.
