MSI Monitor Lags While Playing Anime

Post by razexix » 29 May 2021, 03:50

It probably lags on all media with lots of effects. The stuttering is very noticable on my MAG274QRF, which is a 165 Hz 1440p Rapid IPS Monitor. I cant send a video because it looks fine on video (something to do with the recording software) but it just looks laggy.. like there is alot of blur and nothing is clear. There is also reduced visual fidelity I feel on this monitor, it doesnt even look HD when I watch say a video online. The weird thing here is that... games actually run perfectly on the monitor, no lag. The monitor seems to look 1440p apart from the video issue, including in games.

Now, I tried playing the videos with a ps4 macbook air and pc connected to the monitor, but it lags for all. I also tried lowering the refresh rate of my monitor to 60 or 120 hz, or reducing reso to 1080p, which had no effect. I also switched off adaptive sync to no effect. I reinstalled my GPU drivers also to no avail.

If anyone knows what to do, I'd appreciate it. I do have warranty, but I'm scared they cant fix it, and i wont be able to refund it (i bought this. monitor used a few weeks ago). Furthermore, it would take 2 weeks. Thanks in advance
