Now, as for the AI stuff. MSI has equipped the monitor with a neural processing unit (NPU), giving it some genuine local artificial-intelligence clout. Let me set your expectations: It’s not like MSI plugged ChatGPT or Claude into your monitor; most of the monitor features here powered by AI center around power-saving and privacy, while some actually help you in-game.
The AI Care Sensor, for instance, uses a CMOS sensor to capture images of the area in front of the monitor every 0.2 second. Working in tandem with the NPU, the monitor can identify when a person is in front of it. This lets the AI do some pretty useful tricks, such as waking automatically when you approach and going to sleep when you leave. It can also determine whether what it’s dealing with is an actual human, so the monitor won’t accidentally be triggered by, say, a pet or a stuffed animal.

Another NPU-powered feature dims your screen when you’re not looking at it, saving power and protecting your screen, not to mention enhances privacy if used in a collaborative environment. On the privacy topic, MSI claims that all visual data is processed locally in real time and instantly converted into digital signals without any storage. No images are saved or transmitted.

Additional AI features include AI Vision, which automatically adjusts brightness and saturation to match the scene you’re watching, and an AI Crosshair that changes color so it doesn’t blend into the game’s background at any given moment. In my experience, I found these two features interesting but marginal, though I’m sure some gamers would feel otherwise.

The monitor also supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and is Nvidia G-Sync Compatible, with an HDR True Black 500 certification. It’s VESA ClearMR 21000 certified, too, which ensures motion clarity by reducing ghosting and blur.
