      “Are you seriously watching porn by yourself?”

      “Nah, I’m with my bois monitor!”

        It wouldn’t surprise me if someone does use the software training program that goes with it to program its bottom rgb strip to color-suggest the highlighted segments on Pornhub videos.

    Cool gimmick, just icky that their target audience is the type of people looking for unfair advantages in a multiplayer game

          I don’t know, if LoL uses it, but there’s some pretty ridiculous infrastructure in place for DRM, where programs can detect that your entire hardware stack (CPU → GPU → cable → Monitor) hasn’t been tampered with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection

          They still can’t detect when you’re filming your monitor, but pretty much everything else…

            hdcp is easily defeatable nowadays.

            would their new anticheat be able to detect it?

                there are small boxes you can buy that you install before the monitor.

                it pretends to be your monitor while you can do shenanigans up the chain.

          Depending on the game, this could open you up to a perma-ban (if found out). Which I think most multiplayer games take a hardline stance against circumventing their rules.

        And that’s actually an argument against buying this monitor, as long as you want to play any games with it. They have reason to ban you just for using this monitor. So in the end you have the choice between one monitor that could get you banned and all the others that don’t. I know which one I wouldn’t choose.

      Aren’t they about to start using their kernel-level anticheat for LoL? They very well could look at hardware ids

    Wow, who knew you could buy a monitor that looks at your data and probably sends it back to MSI.

    This isnt just going to get used in LOL but any game that it can be trained on. This is basically another example of money giving people an advantage over everyone else. You buy the monitor, train it and bam, you are “better” at playing pretty much any video game you want and there’s not much that can be done to negate that advantage.

    This is along the same lines as streamers getting meta info from their chat.

    If it’s been rendered on the screen but the user missed it, it’s not cheating because you would have had that information if you were more observant

      Missing a 0.5 second blip on the minimap vs the monitor telling you HEY HE’S OVER THERE! for several seconds with a big icon you can’t miss or ignore, is not quite the same.

      One of them is a big advantage. Even pros miss fast blips on the minimap. And it’s their job to be “observant”
