Design:

With a classic front panel, the MSI screen follows the zeitgeist and features a borderless design on 3 sides. As usual, MSI offers a very aggressive design on the rear of the screen. As for the stand, it’s heavy and super-stable, with a quick-release system for mounting the monitor. The VESA 100 mounting system can also be used if the monitor is to be mounted on an arm.

Ergonomics:

The stand lets us adjust the height of the screen.

To adjust the screen, there’s a mini joystick on the back of the screen, which simplifies settings in the OSD. But the software will make the experience even more pleasant, by adding a host of new features.

Gaming Intelligence software offers automatic installation as soon as the display is plugged in via the USB cable. However, MSI checks the Norton installation box by default.
