fit wits coverage of CES 2018 is brought to you by fantex and cable mock click the links in the description below for more info all right yeah so I made a pit stop at msi booth at CES 2018 and I found a pretty sexy monitor that I think you guys are gonna like it's the msi optics MP g27 CQ 27 inches 2560 by 1440 VA curved panel with free sync support a 144 Hertz refresh rate and a 1 millisecond response time so this is a blazing fast monitor and it looks fantastic and it's curved it's it's very moderate it's got it's got all the bells and whistles that you might expect from a panel here in 2018 2 HDMI 2.0 ports and 1 DisplayPort 1.2 it has an aggressive stand with the triangular base featuring tilt swivel and height adjustment so a lot of flexibility there with a 100 by 100 base mount if you wanted to wall mount this guy now there is a little joystick behind the monitor for navigating through the OSD which works perfectly fine however MSI has also developed an app which allows you to control all the same settings straight from your operating systems so it's really convenient if you want to adjust things like brightness or contrast on the fly or even that enabling or disabling free sync for example you can do that all now straight from their new app which is pretty handy now perhaps the biggest standout feature of this display besides the panel itself is the collaboration that MSI has done with SteelSeries to implement those 5 LED lighting zones or lighting strips that you see just below the panel each of those strips have eight individually addressable LEDs which you can configure with an MSI mystic light of course or the SteelSeries engine app and from there things get pretty interesting because you're no longer talking about just aesthetics but you can actually build in some functionality with how these LEDs operate as well for example they gave us say a demo within csgo where they actually configure the different lighting zones to reflect different Diagnostics in-game for example I think the first two LED strips represented your health and you'd start to see that diminish as you got shot another one was ammo so every time you take a shot obviously the LEDs would go down there and then they had another lighting zone that was just dedicated to the to reflect the number of headshots that you got in-game so really cool just at a glance very easy to see your sort of specs or your stats I should say in different Diagnostics that way I mean the fact that it's just right next to the monitor pretty much right up to this where you're looking anyway makes it super visible and easy to see whereas a lot of these same features that we've seen implemented on keyboards and mice and in your system itself are not really that visible which makes them kind of pointless the mr. or MSRP on this bad boy is four hundred and fifty US dollars if I remember correctly which i think is a pretty fair price all things considered for what you're getting with this display it's really nice to have freesync in there as well but let me know what you guys think in the comments below is this a panel that you might be interested in what do you think of those LED strips are those lighting zones at the bottom of the display as always very curious to hear what you guys have to say apart from that go ahead and toss me a like on the video if you enjoyed it and feel free to get subscribed if you're not already so you don't miss the rest of my coverage here at CES 2018 I'll see you guys in the next video
