- 4K Gaming: The 4x sharper. The 4K gaming is a totally different feeling comparing to gaming on FHD, a wider, clear image and much more detaisl you have never experienced.
- Low Blue Light Premium: As a game lover, we understand how unbearable is that when your screen becomes yellow after using less blue light. Less Blue Light Premium is using a hardware solution to reduced light emissions in the blue-violet segment of the blue light spectrum without any color or picture quality sacrifice. Also, this feature passed the EYESAFE standard.
- KVM: Control and transfer files between multiple connected devices with one set of mouse, keyboard, and MSI gaming monitor. For more information or how it works, please refer to this article.

My go to choice for now is the gigabyte. but it depends on the availability and when we can actually buy the video cards to go with it.
preferably 3080/4060 and the above. as for the HDR1000 it might take another 5 years until it becomes reasonably priced.
I may go Dell next time just for the panel guarantee. Assuming they've caught up tech wise.
you can improve perceived contrast and color vibrancy just from switching to 0-255 and remapping colors alone.
dcip3 makes this easier as there is a more extreme color range so for sure i can tell the difference on my hdt400 screen
with that said, i have never seen a hdr1000 and for those who have hdr400 will seem poor in comparison
also i typically use low brightness anyway 1000 nits to me would be very extreme.
finally though i cannot stand consumers been misled on hardware my principles, so despite my comments i think hdr400 should not be part of spec, however i do think there should be a low brightness alternative hdr spec for people like me who cant stand extreme brightness and to protect eyes from glare.
maybe hdr lite.
