Looks like they are trying to appeal to Apple customers with that design.

Not sure what's so special about this display, it seems fairly mediocre look at the specs, so I guess it's all about that design...

Call me an ambulance, I can't breath.

Seriously, the Marketing Blurb is so awful it puts be off not only this monitor, but all of Mid-century Modern Style whatever that is.

They failed by not focusing on : TUV-certified anti-flicker and less blue light. As a result of EyesErgo's eye strain reduction technology, it is the perfect solution for people with a lot of screen time in their work.

This is a very important product and sales attribute - if companies are asking people to work from home, and as people spend ever more time in front of screens, screens that cause less eye strain will be the purchasing decision of companies wanting to avoid liability risks - expecially if best-in-class and TUV certified.

What is going on at MSI? Engineers come up with Eye-Q check system and eye-care EyesErgo Technology but the Marketing copy team come up with "meshes well with stylish home". What the heck. That's what happens when you have marketing girls who don't understand technology other than you take selfies whilst wearing woolly socks drinking lattes curled up on that meshes well with my stylish home sofa.

Here's a tip to the MSI engineers: Get your coats, find a job at a better company that will appreciate your skills.

Here's a tip to the MSI marketing team: Get your coats, find a job at a home store where you can identify with the lifestyle you crave, not at a technology company selling stuff you don't understand but they were the only one's who would hire your second rate ass out of faith not track record.

I'm surprised there isn't a picture of Dylan Mulvaney in the promotional material doing lifestyle movements in front of the screen.

The frameless and minimalist designs
Hummm.... seems to have a rather large bottom chin for something that is supposedly "frameless"... that's the same issue we fought against for so long with our phones, especially the fruity ones, which, after many many years, finally adopted the reduced, miniscule screen bezels

I can appreciate their attempts to reduce eye strain, which will benefit all users, but if this is the best they can do, they may as well stick to mobo's, gpu's ect...

Ah yes, Red Dot award. It's hardly an award at all since you buy it yourself, price in 2020 was €5999 for the full package. Committee only decides who has the right to buy one. I believe the common term for such events is "jerk-off circle".
Mediocre product but appealing for consumers focused on vanity. I also believe the blue light impact on eye strain was thoroughly debunked years ago as negligible if existent at all.

No Vesa mount seems like an oversight.

How dare you argue with their "Outstanding Design and Innovation"!?

If you need the monitor in any position other than what that basic ass, I'm sorry, that perfectly designed stand that was "inspired by Mid-century Modern Style, which has clean, low-key, and breathtaking functionality" allows for you're using it the wrong

eye-care EyesErgo Technology

With such a basic ass stand with barely any adjustability I'm surprised they dare to use the word "Ergo" anywhere in the press release. Someone must have made a bet or something
