MSI launches MEG X OLED gaming monitor with AI lighting that mimics your health bar

MSI has introduced a new ultrawide OLED gaming monitor, but this one comes with some unique and interesting features, in particular, AI features. There is a built-in AI processor dedicated to handling these features that are meant to offer an in-game assistant, improved immersion, and possibly a leg up over your opponents.

MSI MEG X features and specifications

The curved 34-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor boasts a 3,440x1,440 resolution with a 360 Hz refresh rate and 0.03 ms (GtG) response time. For the panel, MSI is using a 5th-Gen penta tandem OLED for a 30% improvement in light efficiency and reduced fringing. It also features the DarkArmor film that apparently boosts black levels and makes the screen tougher. There are also a host of OLED care features like turning off the display when no one’s using it, adaptive dimming, auto brightness and color temperature, and more.

Coming to the AI features, the MSI MEG X has AI Super Resolution for upscaling lower-resolution content, an AI Gauge that syncs with the SpectrumBar+ LED lighting to show in-game health bar status, along with a flashing indicator when health falls below 30%. AI Vision+ brightens up darker areas, while AI Crosshair changes colors to maintain contrast and not have it blend with the background.

The MSI MEG X comes with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification, and the company claims 300 nits SRD and 1,300 nits HRD brightness. You get support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and compatibility with Nvidia G-Sync. For connectivity, there are two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 2.1a, one Type-C (DP alt.) with 98W Power Delivery, two USB Type-A ports, one USB Type-B port, and a headphone out port. The included stand offers tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments.

Price and availability

MSI has not shared pricing or availability for the US yet, but it is expected to arrive in Japan later this month. Global availability should be revealed soon.
