Long story short, MSI listed 1ms G2G and 1ms MPRT for this monitor, but a user on Reddit said that it was the company's mistake and that it was actually BFI.
According to Blur Buster's article on G2G and MPRT (GtG represents how long it takes for a pixel to change between two colors. MPRT represents how long a pixel is continuously visible for.), I found out that for example 180Hz is equal to 5.5ms refresh, so MPRT is the amount of time a fixed pixel is displayed, which in this case is 5.5ms, and G2G is the amount of time after 5.5ms the pixel can change to another color, so if according to the manufacturer it is 1ms, after 5.5ms, 1ms of time is needed for the pixel to change color (of course, this may be more or less depending on the color) and this G2G is actually the same Response Time index that RTINGS measures in its reviews. This is what I have found
1. If the above is wrong, please correct it.
2. If it is true, what does the MPRT feature do in the monitor's OSD settings? According to that Reddit user, this is actually BFI, now the question is what does 1ms MPRT(BFI) mean? That is, in that 5.5 ms interval, the color pixel lasts 4.5 ms and the backlight turns off for 1 ms, or is it the other way around, that is, 4.5 ms is off and the color pixel lasts 1 ms?
Here is 2 perspectives (Suppose the monitor displays a blue image, then red, then yellow)

3. The overdrive feature, which is shown in the OSD as response time and has three modes: normal, fast, and fastest, is actually directly related to G2G and overshoot, so you can adjust G2G, but it is not possible to adjust the MPRT value in this monitor. Now the question is, in what mode is the 1ms G2G that MSI states achievable? In the fastest mode?

- fast + MPRT OFF = very little ghosting, i.e. a slight fading is visible behind the UFO, but UFO With Text is unreadable.
- MPRT ON (which makes the overdrive settings unavailable) = very little ghosting again, but no more fading (Its trail is seen evenly), UFO With Text is readable, although the text it is not completely black and seems to have a very very small red trail.
4. This is a completely different question, I am not a pro online gamer, and I am not a professional designer either, but I like the monitor to have a balance between the two. Now my question is about the modes available in the Gaming tab and the Professional tab. I noticed that some modes, in addition to changing the available settings (such as sharpening, brightness, and contrast), also seem to change inaccessible settings. For example, the first time I turned on the monitor and looked at the colors, while it looked very colorful compared to the old monitor, the colors, especially the red, were so intense that it was a little difficult to read white text on red. I tried all the modes and by activating sRGB, the colors became less, and it became a bit like my old monitor and the text became more readable, while I can never repeat this by manually adjusting the colors. What I also read in RTINGS reviews is that some companies limit the color gamut range by setting the sRGB mode. Now my question is, does this mode make the colors more natural or unnatural? The conclusion I came to is that I use User mode when designing, gaming, and watching movies, because it provides more colors for gaming, so it makes the gaming experience more enjoyable, and for designing, a wider color gamut means seeing more details, but when working with text and browsing the web, I prefer sRGB. Is this true? Or does using a wider color gamut in designing make the image look different on other devices, so it is better to use sRGB mode for design as well, since it is a widely used standard?

I'm also curious about the FPS mode in the Gaming tab, which removes green colors, but I don't see any difference in the ghosting test, is FPS mode worth it?
