Intelligent User Experiences: Smart Functionality Included with MSI’s Latest Monitors

An intelligent monitor helps you get the best experience without manually tweaking it. That’s precisely what we set out to achieve when we set this goal for ourselves. At CES 2025, you can experience a few of our AI monitor software features that are designed to do one thing – make your life easier.

AI Navigator

When it comes to display settings, most gamers and professionals follow a ‘set-it-once-and-forget-it’ approach. However, slight tweaks to your monitor settings based on the task at hand can enhance your visual experience by leaps and bounds. AI Navigator takes care of these settings, and its algorithm tweaks your monitor settings on-the-fly based on your set preferences.

AI Dual Mode

Dual Mode monitors are amazing. However, when you switch between supported resolutions, you’re automatically relegated to a lower refresh rate. This means that you have to manually change your refresh rate every time you switch resolutions. MSI’s AI Dual Mode feature eliminates this inconvenience by automatically detecting a resolution change and setting the appropriate refresh rate!

AI Crosshair

Moving your crosshair through various backgrounds can become a visibility issue, especially when it seemingly disappears into some scenes. Not only is this a competitive disadvantage, but it’s also distracting and affects your gaming experience. MSI’s AI Crosshair feature detects your game background and makes real-time adjustments to your crosshair color to ensure it always remains visible.

AI Vision

Details in darker areas like that one frustrating dungeon can be hard on your eyes. MSI AI Vision uses advanced Artificial Intelligence algorithms to detect and enhance details in dark places by boosting overall brightness and adding relevant colors.
