Since the MPG27C doesn’t feature an ECO mode, we merely turned the brightness down to achieve more thrifty targets. Turning the brightness up to maximum or switching to the brightest Racing preset gave a maximum luminance value of 268 cd/m 2 and bumped power consumption up to an average of 34.5W. Out of the box, the Optix MPG27C is decently frugal, consuming around 31W with a brightness rating of 230 cd/m 2. MSI Optix MPG27C Power Consumption and Thermal Performance Someone please, please make a SteelSeries Engine app for Crypt of the NecroDancer! However, if you’re ifeeling particularly brave you can actually make your own app to add some RGB pizzazz to your favourite title. At the moment, there are just six titles in the former category, although this does include a few big ‘uns: Counter Strike: Global Offensive, DOTA 2 and Minecraft, along the lesser-known Gigantic, Utopia 9 and iFeelPixel. What is not endless, unfortunately, is the number of compatible games and apps. Or you might prefer to use all five zones, and assign different, multiple colours to represent various health states on each one the possibilities are endless. You can tell it to flash when your health reaches 30%, to warn you it’s time to focus on not being killed rather than killing.

Or you can set it to slowly change colour from green for full health to red as you approach zero. For example, you can have the Optix MPG27C’s lights show you things like ammo, health and kill counts for CS:GO using a range of effects and options.Īs each zone has multiple LEDs, you can set one single zone as a health bar which ‘decreases’ by turning LEDs off from right to left. And of course, you can sync your preferences to various compatible devices using CloudSync.īut where things get really interesting is if you use the lighting zones, of which there are five at the front and two at the rear, as more intelligent indicators to offer visual updates on compatible games’ alerts, stats and more. So you could choose to have one LED area pulse like a drunk rainbow doing disco, while having the area next to it retain a steady colour and the one next to that shifting slowly, like a river of multi-hued light. If treating all those RGB LEDs as merely ‘dumb’, pretty lights, you can set a range of brightness levels, effects, colours, modes, rhythms and templates for each individual zone, all variable by status and assignable to groups and/or presets. For each you get a lovely and, more importantly, interactive visual representation, that lets you select and set individual light ‘zones’. Selecting the MPG27C will pop up a dedicated window for the monitor, where you can choose to fiddle with the settings for its front or rear (that sounded far less dodgy in our head, honest). As its name suggests, My Gear is where you get to control your hardware. The SteelSeries Engine 3 interface offers three main tabs: My Gear, Engine Apps and Library.

Post-install, the app advised us that a critical firmware update was available for our display, which took around a minute to install.

Just download the latest version of SteelSeries Engine, make sure the monitor is connected to your PC through the provided USB cable, and the Engine software will recognise your monitor straight away. To say we were impressed with the usability and flexibility of the RGB lighting options that partnership provided would be an understatement, so when we saw this tag-team making a comeback for the Optix MPG27C, you could colour us excited. This is thanks to MSI partnering with the famous SteelSeries gaming brand and its GameSense technology, as we recently saw on the MSI Raider GE63VR 7RE. MSI’s Optix range sets out to change that, and though its RGB lights can follow this tried-and-true template, they can also do a lot more. A few, like the Asus ROG Swift PG348Q, can even project lights to jazz up their logos.īut beyond looking pretty – in some cases, really, really pretty – and earning you ‘hardcore hardware’ brownie points, they’re not really all that… useful. Many monitor manufacturers place lights of various shapes and sizes on their gaming displays that can show any colour of the rainbow or match themselves to you RGB-lit case, motherboard, or gaming peripherals. The “Mystic” RGB lighting on the MSI Optix MPG27C is something quite special.
