The MSI MEG

Artificial intelligence is being integrated into all types of devices that we regularly use in the home. But on this occasion MSI has presented a monitor that already integrates this technology without the need to add any software. The monitor has a integrated AI processor that will help you in your games with SpectrumBar+an RGB lighting system that reacts to in-game events. MSI has offered all the information about this new monitor in its MEG X series on its website.

MSI MEG X: 34-inch 360 Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor

The monitor, which we had already seen last CES, has a 5th generation QD-OLED panelwith a size of 34 inches and resolution of 3,440 x 1,440 dots. Its panel, manufactured by Samsung, uses technology Penta Tandem with five layers to improve lighting efficiency up to 30%. As a good gaming monitor, it has a 360 Hz refresh rate with a response time typical of OLED panels of only 0.03ms. A versatile monitor thanks to its RGB Stripe pixel arrangement to improve text sharpness.

The panel has the film DarkArmor for deeper blacks, although it is also more resistant to scratches up to 2.5 times compared to previous generation panels. Brightness won’t be a problem either with up to 1,300 nits maximum and certification VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500. It also has almost complete DCI-P3 coverage (99%).

As for connectivity, a monitor like this cannot be missing DisplayPort 2.1a with full 80 Gbps bandwidth (UHBR20)along with two HDMI 2.1 ports and a USB-C to connect your laptop and charge it with 98W PD. It is compatible with technologies that prevent image tearing such as AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and G-SYNC.

Integrated AI processor with game-enhancing features

Up to this point we can say that it is a gaming monitor with premium features, but what differentiates this MSI MEG X is your integrated AI processor. This allows you to perform various functions such as AI Gaugecapable of detecting horizontal bars in games and displaying it on its SpectrumBar+ lighting system integrated into the monitor. Effects include flashing when below 30% health.

Come into action in dark scenes AI Vision+which allows you to improve images when black predominates in the image. If you are using the integrated sight, AI Crosshair It is capable of changing its color depending on the current background color. AI Scene allows you to select settings automatically based on the content being viewed and AI Super Resolution offers better resolution when the original is lower.

SpectrumBar+, Glow Sync+ and AI Care: smart lighting and OLED protection

To improve lighting effects, SpectrumBar+ It can also be synchronized with the content on the screen with GlowSync+. EchoVision allows you to represent the audio channels using the lighting zones. The already known sensor AI Care It allows detecting the user’s presence to turn off the screen when we are not in front of it, while activating the protections for the OLED panel.

A premium finish has also been included in the design, with aluminum elements on the stand and back.

At the moment there is no release date and recommended price for Europealthough in Japan it seems that it will be available in December. We leave you the complete specifications shared by MSI.
