firstly a big THANK YOU to MSF for making it possible for Tim and myself to attend Computex 2019 please check out their latest AMD x5 70 motherboards made for gamers and creators by the link in the video description also thank you to Corsair for their support please check all their exciting products out via the link in the video description welcome back to hard rom box steve has already gone through all the excellent X 570 motherboards and other cool things at the msi booth but there is more to check out at this year's Computex show from msi including a whole new range of monitors many more monitors and I was expecting actually as well as a couple of interesting laptops so let's start with the monitors I think because you know I love my monitors here so the first product that really excited me was the new mpg three-for-one cqr and yeah I really do need the notes if these proclaims because yeah msi likes their letters and numbers salad going on there so this is a 34 40 by 1440 144 hertz curved VA panel so it's quite similar to the LG 34 GK 950 F in terms of it being one of the highest refresh rates available for that resolution and size it does have a couple of unique features it has a camera that detects faces and can change settings based on who sits in front of the screen so if you have multiple users could be useful you know to people different people have different settings configured for them they just sit in front of the screen and it will automatically switch the setting profiles there it can also be disabled if you're concerned about privacy it also comes with two unique things in the box don't often see this one is a webcam or camera mount that supports up to 700 grams of weight so that's not just your sort of cheap webcams but you could definitely put some sort of decent camera up there for your sort of streaming and also it does come with a mouse bungee both those things included in the box as I said and msi rep tells me this monitor will be factory calibrated so that's nice to see it also has display HDR 400 certification by the sounds of it it's typical HDR 400 so that means basic HDR support at best not really your true HDR it doesn't really matter though because it looks like it's priced very competitively for a non HDR monitor it's priced at just nine hundred US dollars that's locked in did see some reports of an eight hundred dollar price with MSI tells me the official price is nine hundred dollars u.s. that is so good pretty good competitive price there LG's competing option fluctuates between 800 to more often up around the twelve hundred dollar mark so yeah it's not a bad price of MSI with that sort of first-generation product there they always have a monitor that I haven't seen a lot of buzz on this is the ma g3 21 cu RV yeah it's surprising not to see too much talk about this one because it's I guess it is nothing crazy it's a 4k 60 Hertz curved rear panel 32 inches but the big news is the price I was told it's going to come in just 500 Australian dollars which would make it the cheapest 32 inch 4k monitor on the market here and if you convert the distort of view US dollar pricing unfortunately I didn't get an actual confirmation on what it would cost in the US but it should be around that 300 to 350 US dollar mark when you do a sort of conversion there which would again make it a really great value option so you're hoping to see that soon we've also got the MA g27 1r or ma g27 1r either way I guess this is a pretty cool display 27 inch 1080p 165 Hertz but it is a flat VA so often we see at this price in a sort of budget category we see curved vias but this is one of those flat options that people like to see should also be affordable but again no firm word on pricing here unfortunately then for the creators out there we have the prestige ps3 41 w/u this is pretty similar to the LG 34 wk 95 user I reviewed in that it's a 50 120 by 2160 ultra wide 34 inches in size it's just 60 Hertz but it's still pretty good for creators it uses nano IPS technology so I believe it's the very same LG panel 98% DCI p3 coverage 90 plus percent Adobe RGB as well it's factory calibrated to Delta YZ below 2.0 on average according to an msi rep display HDR 600 with basic local dimming so it sounds like it'll be semi HDR again similar to the LG model very impressive feature set for one of the first creative monitors from MSI there's plenty of color modes including all the basic stuff that you'd want to see it also has a great utility great software utility it's designed much better than usual three user calibration profiles with hardware integration so that means if you've got your calibration device you can create a profile upload it into the monitor and having three slots there it tends to be a bit better than I've usually seen for monitors and you should even be able to set triggers to change the color profile depending on the app you're using so for example you're using Photoshop you could automatically change it to DCI p3 and then go back to Chrome and change it to srgb on the fly have again seem some seen some places report the price as thirteen hundred US dollars but I heard twelve hundred dollars from the reps on the show floor with that price being locked in so two hundred to three hundred dollars cheaper than the LG option again should be a very high quality display there at a great price other monitors there's just a couple of other updates here the oculus g-sync monitors with the 1080p resolution and 240 Hertz refresh rate the one with is 0.5 millisecond response time was shown at Computex last year but never really came out but that has been released now so I guess a year later we're starting to see that same with these super ultra wide that was shown at Computex last year and it should be available pretty soon most of the monitors that i've talked about today will be released at the end of July or early August so very very soon for getting some of these products in I'm really hoping to get to review some of them in the coming weeks I think there might have been one like the ma g27 one are that wasn't coming on that day but most of those at the end of July moving into laptops the big product at the show and I mean that literally is the GT 76 Titan so this is the sort of thing I think Intel were meaning when they talked about muscle books in the latest presentation for Knights Chen processes however it doesn't use a ninth gen h-series CPU in fact it uses a full socketable core I nine ninety nine hundred K at least in the top-end models plus RT X twenty eighty graphics it is unfortunate that the RT X 2080 is a mobile version rather than the fully fledged desktop version but should still clock pretty well when you see the cooler that they are using and I was very keen to show off the cooler 11 heat pipes with for fans to thermal modules one for the CPU one for the GPU CNC polished plates for the CPU and plenty of heat sink area to call the components the thing the entire laptop actually was pretty loud on the show floor the show floor itself is loud but you could definitely hear the laptop over the the people talking there and as you'd expect it that's pretty typical for a laptop of this size and performance no one on the fan profile used though it's also unclear how the 9900 K performs here we weren't really allowed to do benchmarks on the show floor it would surprise me if the cooling solution was good enough to put it up through the sort of desktop level that you'd see from a high-end desktop system but I would also expect well above laptop level with performance from an h2 CPU know if you're putting a 900 K in a laptop if you don't want to perform better than those H series processors it also requires 2 power connectors with an adapter so that's something to keep in mind four point five kilograms heavy so big boy starts at 3,600 u.s. dollars goes up to 48 hundred US dollars 1080p or 4k monitor options and yeah it's a massive basically laptop the other main gaming laptop MSI had on show is the GE 65 Raider which is the 15 inch version of the GE 75 Raider that I looked at just a little before Computex actually really liked it has of course the latest r-tx graphics and up to a core I 9 processor from Intel 's ninth generation but the key feature I think he is the 240 Hertz IPS level 1080p display so 240 hertz displays are new to gaming laptops and it's great to see it as well in the 15 inch form factor here with the GE 65 you also get one of what I think is MSI's best mid-sized sort of I guess you'd have to say gaming laptop designs really like the keyboard as well in this laptop and it comes with the latest killer Wi-Fi 6 networking experience thanks to Jerry's tech for some of the footage that were showing off here as for other laptops at the show it was mostly creative focused using the new in video studio line you might have seen the announcement 14 video studio I covered that in my video on the Nvidia Computex keynote so we did have a couple of cool products there the things that really stood out to me were the MSI WS 65 and the W seventy-five very similar to the GS series for gaming in terms of it's designed but you'll get things like a Quadro RTX 5000 GPU with 16 gigabytes of vram which will be great for those cred uplands especially you know large premier files the 3d modeling or that sort of thing up to 64 gigabytes of ram is included in their 4k displays again should be great for creators I also really like the fingerprint reader in the trackpad and the GS and ws design in general I think is really excellent I love it on the gaming products and I think it worked really well for these workstation class slimming lights as well we've also got prestige laptops for creators with some spec bumps to the latest hardware so all the stuff that you'd expect there the prestige line unlike the WS line is more designed not necessarily for your high intensity creators for things like 3d modeling but more your image editing with Photoshop doing some you know premiere work and all that sort of theme so very exciting lineup from MSI really excited to get those monitors in in particular so I think they've got really high quality and budget oriented monitors going for the sort of value plus high-end specs across all over their product so yeah MSI they tell me they are the fastest growing monitor company in the world at the moment and I certainly believe that because in the space of a couple of years they've come out with all sorts of mowers across so many different price categories product categories it is definitely very impressive to see how they've grown and I tend to like what they are able to achieve so looking forward to reviewing some of those in the end of July early August sort of time period anyway that's it for our MSI coverage at Computex 2019 don't forget to check out stickers video on the motherboards some cases some cool other things that MSI had on show they're big thanks to them for sponsoring us and as well as Corsair for Computex 20-19 coverage and I guess we'll catch you in the next one
