4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,440
so we're coming to you from the MSI suite where they've got is it a booth i

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:21,119
don't know what this is it doesn't matter the point is there's some cool stuff in here first and foremost they've

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:25,439
got a new version of their trident gaming desktop that is a lot heavier

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:30,320
than the old one oh is he going to drop it is he not going to drop it the point

8
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:31,679
is the hardware has not changed a ton so

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:37,200
you're still going to get a core i7 processor but this time it's 8th gen for

10
00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:43,360
up to 6 cores and they've done up to a gtx 1080 graphics card in this tiny form

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:47,120
factor now so all that weight that is a whole lot of heat sink cliff you ready

12
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:51,360
here you go bud also behind me they've got a new monitor

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,039
so MSI's been doing monitors for a little while but they're really getting

14
00:00:52,800 --> 00:01:00,800
serious about it now this is the optics mpg

15
00:00:56,199 --> 00:01:02,640
27cq it's a 1440p 144 hertz freesync

16
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:07,439
gaming display it's got a va panel so you get those nice deep blacks and 3001

17
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:14,159
contrast ratio it's got two HDMI 2.0 ins and a displayport 1.2 and

18
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,159
most importantly RGB lighting so MSI has

19
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:20,560
been working with partners like Corsair steel series and cooler master to enable

20
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:25,600
you to synchronize the RGB lighting on the monitor with your peripherals or

21
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:31,040
even with your computer but there's some special integration with steel series so

22
00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:35,759
using steel series engines game sense you can actually use the lights here for

23
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:39,759
something that's not completely stupid because i don't think anyone was asking

24
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:44,159
for RGB lighting around the outside of what they're trying to focus on no no

25
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:48,960
but with game sense in supported games which includes games like counter-strike

26
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:53,600
minecraft and dota with pubg coming it allows you to actually configure these

27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,079
not just in terms of brightness and color but to reflect things that are

28
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:01,280
happening in game so you could have your right side change color according to

29
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:05,680
your health your left side change according to your ammo oh and the middle

30
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:09,039
one could maybe light up with brighter and brighter colors or it could flash

31
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:13,200
every time you get a head shot pretty cool stuff another innovation in this

32
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:17,440
monitor something that shocks me that we haven't seen before is the ability to

33
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:21,360
change on-screen menu items not just with the joystick at the back but also

34
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:25,040
through a software application so everything from throwing a cheater

35
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:29,280
crosshair in the middle of your monitor to adjusting the brightness to even

36
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:34,400
changing your input can now be done through MSI's software so this one's

37
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:37,840
going to come at around 400 to 450 bucks with an NVIDIA g-sync version planned in

38
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,959
the future though i would expect that one to cost a couple hundred dollars

39
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:46,400
more because dem NVIDIA licensing costs uh oh one

40
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:50,640
more cool feature is that with all this lighting stuff you can actually synchronize across multiple systems if

41
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:55,040
you're into that sort of thing or even that cool laptop over there that actually has the lighting on the back so

42
00:02:53,840 --> 00:03:00,480
this way if you've got a whole team of people playing you could like have them all flash red and then turn off like as

43
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,640
they die and stuff that's cool so thanks again to freshbooks for allowing us to
