“Are you seriously watching porn by yourself?”

“Nah, I’m with my bois monitor!”

It will automatically fast forward to your favorite part. Imagine the time saved.

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.

Why not? It can tell you when they’re about to cut to a close up of a dude’s butthole

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

Its all client-side, so unless LoL is checking the hw on the monitor there is no way to detect it

They could ban hardware, rust banned a certain series of mice to prevent scripting.

Can’t you just spoof different hardware though?

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…

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.

Is using macros considered cheating these days? That seems dumb.

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.

Contrary to what device manufacturers would have people believe, the differences in gaming outcome between a cheap keyboard or mouse and expensive ones isn’t much. But what this monitor is claimed to be able to do would provide a significant tangible advantage. This shouldn’t be normalized.
