MSI Enters The Gaming Monitor Sector!
It’s probably high time for MSI to have their own iteration of gaming monitors. Much like ASUS’ screens, the all-new MSI Optix MPG series have two 27-inch monitors: the Optix MPG27C and the Optix MAG27CQ. It’s considered to be the next level of gaming monitors with a curved VA panel with a 1800R curve. Both of the models feature a 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time much like most of the gaming monitors out there. The MAG27CQ model runs on a native 1440p WQHD screen while the MPG27C stays on the 1080p side.
Additionally, the MSI Optix MPG series is the first gaming monitors integrated with the SteelSeries GameSense. The monitor uses five RGB zones at the front of the monitor and can be programmed easily with the SteelSeries Engine for in-game timers and cooldowns. Another cool add-on is that Discord notifications or any other important pop-ups or alerts can also be programmed!
The screen uses an anti-glare VA panel with 100 percent and 115 percent coverage of the NTSC and sRGB spectrums respectively. It features 2 HDMI (2.0) ports, 1 DisplayPort (1.2), 1 USB 3.0 Type B, an Earphone out port, Kensington Lock, 1 Mic-in port, 1 audio combo jack and 2 USB 3.0 Type A ports. It also has an adjustable stand to maximize productivity and comfort and supports VESA mounting.
MSI Gaming Desktops Dominate with Incredible Performance and Sharp Design
The Trident 3 Arctic was first revealed in March 2017 to high praise. Now the Trident 3 Arctic has gotten even better with an upgraded Intel 8th Generation processor and NVIDIA GTX 1080 graphics card. The Arctic is the perfect gaming solution for those with space constraints or design requirements and features the ultimate performance for a wide variety of applications.
The Infinite X features a more traditional tower design than the Arctic, but still hosts some unique features. The Infinite X uses either dual steel or dual tempered glass side panels, Mystic Light RGB LEDs, MSI’s award-winning graphics cards, Intel’s 8th Generation CPU and MSI’s Silent Storm Cooling 3 Pro liquid cooling.
MSI gaming desktops excel in gaming performance, audio quality and connectivity. MSI also adds gaming benefits such as Silent Storm Cooling, automatic overclocking with Game Boost, super-speed storage configurations, Audio Boost and Nahimic for an incredible in-game sound experience.
Additionally, the Aegis Ti3 gaming desktop will be available with an Intel 8th Generation processor later this year.
