MSI G2422C 24 Inch FHD 180Hz VA Panel 85% SRGB 1MS Adaptive Sync VA Gaming Monitor

The MSI G2422C provides users with a 165Hz refresh rate that delivers smooth fluid visuals required in competitive gameplay. The display of MSI G2422C can achieve a maximum frame rate of 165 frames per second because of its high refresh rate capability which surpasses standard 60Hz monitors. A refresh rate that reaches 165Hz produces minimal motion artifacts while creating an extremely fast response for gaming which gives players beneficial advantages in time-sensitive video games. Through the integration of its fast response time and its high refresh rate the monitor achieves sharp image quality for moving objects producing clear resolution instead of blurry visuals. Users will experience most improvements when playing first-person shooters together with racing games and competitive esports titles because of their high-speed nature. Adaptive refresh rate technology present in this monitor automatically adjusts frame rates to prevent performance issues which occur when frame rates change during gameplay sessions.

The MSI G2422C entered the market in the middle of 2022 as MSI expanded its mid-range gaming monitor product line. The monitor entered the market to deliver fundamental high-performance features that would not cost as much as MSI's advanced models. This gaming monitor entered the market at a time when the popularity of curved displays had risen significantly among general players who desired intensified gaming immersion. The model functioned as an entry-level product which MSI promoted to users transitioning from standard office screens into gaming displays. As an addition to MSI's rectangular display series the G2422C integrated a curved display design at 24 inches into the already available flat-panel monitor line-up. The monitor gained quick acceptance from buyers focused on getting great performance with budget-friendly curved display options.

The MSI G2422C features a 23.6-inch VA (Vertical Alignment) display which manages to achieve both high performance and superior visual output. VA panels surpass TN as well as IPS alternatives through their exceptional contrast ratios which produce dark shadows and high-definition colours that strengthen gaming focus. Users can enjoy complete image consistency throughout the display since the technology extends its viewing perspectives to 178 degrees each way horizontally as well as vertically. The G2422C from VA panel utilizes its 3000:1 contrast ratio to show additional details in dark game sequences while deepening visual presentation. The backlight strobing technology installed by MSI enables this 1ms MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) optimization of its VA panel even though it does not achieve TN panel speeds.

At 1920 x 1080 pixels (defined as 1080p) the MSI G2422C presents its resolution specification. The 93 PPI (pixels per inch) pixel density of this resolution fits perfectly on the 23.6-inch screen to produce high-quality images for gaming and everyday computer usage. The 1080p resolution provides perfect performance in competitive gaming because competitive graphics cards can reach high frame rates that the 165Hz refresh rate allows. The G2422C stands out as an outstanding esports monitor because it strikes the right combination between high-resolution displays and optimised gaming performance at its peak. Full HD resolution allows this display to support multiple content types while preventing users from applying scaling which produces blurred text or interface elements.

The MSI G2422C demonstrates 98% sRGB colour space coverage which allows it to show content faithfully during gameplay and media watching sessions. This monitor achieves total sRGB coverage for games and videos alongside web content so they display original creator vision without colour distortion. The monitor brings suitable colour precision for general photo editing activities even though it does not target colour-sensitive professional work. VA technology enables full-colour saturation by its natural contrast capabilities which amplifies visible colour saturation. The MSI monitoring system features various colour settings users can activate from the on-screen display which allows them to adapt visual presentations according to gaming or movie or workplace requirements. This monitor displays colors at 8-bit depth level (16.7 million colors) which avoids banding artifacts that often appear in displays with basic color bit numbers.

The MSI G2422C includes built-in stereo speakers that allow users to have sound output thus eliminating the need for additional audio devices. The integrated speakers on the MSI G2422C generate 2W of power per channel which offers sufficient output level for casual gaming and video viewing and regular computer operations when speakers or headphones are not accessible. The speakers include acceptable listening quality yet they fail to deliver bass or rich sounds which dedicated external audio accessories can provide. The integrated speakers function well as a secondary audio solution because they work well in confined areas and substitute for headphones when needed. Windows sound settings provide users with a simple method to change from monitor internal speakers to external audio devices. Users pick external speakers and gaming headsets for their optimal immersive experiences while the included speakers become valuable for daily operational requirements.

The MSI G2422C includes AMD FreeSync adaptive sync technology which operates to remove screen tearing and stuttering when users play their games. The technology dynamically matches the monitor refresh rate with the graphics card frame output during real-time operation to maintain smooth video performance during graphically demanding situations. Freely selectable refresh values within a wide interval starting at 48 Hz and reaching up to 165 Hz allow this G2422C model to offer tear-free gameplay across different usage scenarios. The monitor carries AMD FreeSync certification but NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible feature becomes available upon manual activation through the NVIDIA Control Panel for supported cards. The adaptive sync feature improves gameplay deeply because it eliminates distracting screen problems during play and decreases V-Sync latency for greater controller response.

 Standard configuration of the MSI G2422C monitor does not support height adjustment on its stand. This monitor features a basic stand which enables users to adjust the viewing angle from -5° to 20° in the forward-back direction. Since it aims to serve as an affordable gaming display the product sacrifices certain ergonomic elements to maintain its budget nature. Users who need height adjustment can use VESA-mountable third-party monitor supports and stands for their G2422C displays. The monitor supports industry-standard VESA mounting holes which enable users to connect it to various accessories that offer missing height adjustment and rotation options alongside stand swivel when used independently from the base. Users who need precise ergonomic placement should get a dedicated monitor mounting system because the device stand may not meet their requirements.

The MSI G2422C sports a curved screen with 1500R curvature rating that mimics the natural field of vision of human beings. The 1500R specification enables the monitor to comply with a circular curve touching points at 1.5 metres from the origin which provides full peripheral vision immersion during use. The curved visual appearance of this monitor enables prolonged gaming comfort by providing uniform viewing distances that decrease strain on the eyes throughout the display screen. Users of a 24-inch display benefit greatly from the monitor's curvature since it reduces the distance to their eyes at the screen's edges. The curved shape of the monitor leads to enhanced immersion in video playback since it creates depth that makes images seem three-dimensional. Gaming users needed time to adapt during their initial encounters with curved screens yet most decorators discovered enhanced visualisation later on when adjusting to curved display formats.

The MSI G2422C supports HDR signal reception yet its display fails to deliver true HDR functionality according to present industry standards. The monitor has HDR10 signal receiving capability from HDR-ready devices like gaming consoles and PCs and streaming equipment allowing it to show HDR content with slightly improved visibility when compared to standard dynamic range. The monitor cannot deliver true HDR performance because it lacks the essential traits such as 400 to 1000 nits brightness and full colour gamut range and local dimming control. The display reaches a maximum brightness level of 250-300 nits and exhibits standard colour gamut which restricts its capacity to demonstrate premium HDR characteristics that depend on expanded contrast and colour volume. The display supports an HDR mode although it does not qualify as authentic HDR display performance. Those interested in casual HDR content viewing will enjoy upgraded visibility from standard displays on this monitor but authentic HDR performance demands DisplayHDR-equipped models.
