The usual thing when talking about gaming monitors is to refer to their response time, panel refresh or even their appearance. However, the MSI MPG27CQ adds a new value: LED lights that help us when we play.

Connecting a strip of LEDs behind the monitor, up to 120 can control, the ROG Aura Terminal shows lights that are synchronized with the colors of the game at the edges of the screen, completing the ambience of the room where we are playing. These strips can also be placed in other places such as inside the PC case and in that case the synchronization would be with the AURA system that we had configured.
