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

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

00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:25.439
got a new version of their trident gaming desktop that is a lot heavier

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

00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:31.679
is the hardware has not changed a ton so

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

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

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

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:51.360
here you go bud also behind me they've got a new monitor

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:55.039
so MSI's been doing monitors for a little while but they're really getting

00:00:52.800 --> 00:01:00.800
serious about it now this is the optics mpg

00:00:56.199 --> 00:01:02.640
27cq it's a 1440p 144 hertz freesync

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

00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:14.159
contrast ratio it's got two HDMI 2.0 ins and a displayport 1.2 and

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:16.159
most importantly RGB lighting so MSI has

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:20.560
been working with partners like Corsair steel series and cooler master to enable

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:25.600
you to synchronize the RGB lighting on the monitor with your peripherals or

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:31.040
even with your computer but there's some special integration with steel series so

00:01:28.479 --> 00:01:35.759
using steel series engines game sense you can actually use the lights here for

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:39.759
something that's not completely stupid because i don't think anyone was asking

00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:44.159
for RGB lighting around the outside of what they're trying to focus on no no

00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:48.960
but with game sense in supported games which includes games like counter-strike

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:53.600
minecraft and dota with pubg coming it allows you to actually configure these

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:58.079
not just in terms of brightness and color but to reflect things that are

00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:01.280
happening in game so you could have your right side change color according to

00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:05.680
your health your left side change according to your ammo oh and the middle

00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:09.039
one could maybe light up with brighter and brighter colors or it could flash

00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:13.200
every time you get a head shot pretty cool stuff another innovation in this

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:17.440
monitor something that shocks me that we haven't seen before is the ability to

00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:21.360
change on-screen menu items not just with the joystick at the back but also

00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:25.040
through a software application so everything from throwing a cheater

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:29.280
crosshair in the middle of your monitor to adjusting the brightness to even

00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:34.400
changing your input can now be done through MSI's software so this one's

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

00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:40.959
the future though i would expect that one to cost a couple hundred dollars

00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:46.400
more because dem NVIDIA licensing costs uh oh one

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

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

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

00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:04.640
they die and stuff that's cool so thanks again to freshbooks for allowing us to
