The MEG 321URX’s AI also tracks your health status in League of Legends, lighting up an RGB LED light bar (called the Spectrum Bar) at the bottom of the bezel to match your in-game health bar.
MSI says that, when the monitor comes out later this spring, it will be releasing a PC application that allows you to train it to recognize health bars, enemies and other on-screen features in any game you want.
An ambilight setup that reacts to in-game events is very neat, but the part about putting icons on your screen where the enemies are is just ridiculous
Remember those keyboard from Logitech that had a lcd screen that gave you an ammo counter and stuff? Those were neat but who was looking away from their screen at their keyboard while playing.
Damn right after League adds Vanguard. Kernal level anti-cheat can still be beaten by this monitor. Riot devs seem to always be losing the arms race.
I’m not even mad because of that. If these companies keep trying to push more intrusive anticheat methods then I’ll be rooting for it to be made obsolete, and people who accept it comprising their devices for a game for no reason.
What a great mindset, you could just chose to not play these games and let people do whatever they want with their devices…
all they seem to be doing is eliminaying linux support
No one smart enough to use Linux should be dumb enough to play LoL.
valid point
I’ve always wondered, wouldn’t skill based match making eliminate most cheaters? Why hasn’t that solved cheating?
Now this is cheating. I’ve used a script program in 2016, named EloBuddy. It had this exact feature on it 😄
The gAmInG peripherals industry knows no bounds man, shipping a monitor with built-in cheats is crazy
Did you get banned?
Nope. I just played 1-2 games and then removed it though.
First they use an Intel GPU in their handheld and now they release cheating hardware, MSI has lost their way.
No! Not our MSI! Not the same folks who strongarmed reviewers to prevent them publishing a bad review, or scalping video cards during the pandemic or the ones that released defective AIO coolers and then half-assed the recall.
Say it isn’t so!
Its a cool idea, would be nice if MSI was the type of company to make their hardware open source and allow easy community modifications.
I never understood game cheats it instantly makes the game boring for me when it is no longer difficult.
Why does everybody think this is cheating? It’s just taking readily-available on-screen data and making it more visible.
Hopefully this becomes the prevalent method to cheat so these invasive malware anti cheats become ineffective.

Undetectable? Don’t the monitors report their model number back to the video card using EDID? I expect the game could read the connected devices and refuse to work with this monitor .
