The MEG 321URX’s AI also tracks your health status in League of Legends, lighting up an RGB LED light bar (called the Spectrum Bar) at the bottom of the bezel to match your in-game health bar.
MSI says that, when the monitor comes out later this spring, it will be releasing a PC application that allows you to train it to recognize health bars, enemies and other on-screen features in any game you want.
An ambilight setup that reacts to in-game events is very neat, but the part about putting icons on your screen where the enemies are is just ridiculous
Remember those keyboard from Logitech that had a lcd screen that gave you an ammo counter and stuff? Those were neat but who was looking away from their screen at their keyboard while playing.
I never understood game cheats it instantly makes the game boring for me when it is no longer difficult.
Now this is cheating. I’ve used a script program in 2016, named EloBuddy. It had this exact feature on it 😄
Did you get banned?
Nope. I just played 1-2 games and then removed it though.
The gAmInG peripherals industry knows no bounds man, shipping a monitor with built-in cheats is crazy
Damn right after League adds Vanguard. Kernal level anti-cheat can still be beaten by this monitor. Riot devs seem to always be losing the arms race.
I’m not even mad because of that. If these companies keep trying to push more intrusive anticheat methods then I’ll be rooting for it to be made obsolete, and people who accept it comprising their devices for a game for no reason.
all they seem to be doing is eliminaying linux support
No one smart enough to use Linux should be dumb enough to play LoL.
valid point
I’ve always wondered, wouldn’t skill based match making eliminate most cheaters? Why hasn’t that solved cheating?
SBMM will never be able to stop cheaters, just look at The Finals (game with basically zero anti-cheat) competitive modes right now, completely ruined by cheaters. There are some cheaters in almost every rank of most multiplayer games. Wether it be low rank smurfs or top 100 players, there’s going to be at least one cheater somewhere in your rank, but most likely multiple. I have a combined total of 14,000 hours in counter-strike, I’ve played at every MM skill level from silver elite to global elite and have run into cheaters at least once in all of the ranks.
Hopefully this becomes the prevalent method to cheat so these invasive malware anti cheats become ineffective.

Its a cool idea, would be nice if MSI was the type of company to make their hardware open source and allow easy community modifications.
Why does everybody think this is cheating? It’s just taking readily-available on-screen data and making it more visible.
First they use an Intel GPU in their handheld and now they release cheating hardware, MSI has lost their way.
No! Not our MSI! Not the same folks who strongarmed reviewers to prevent them publishing a bad review, or scalping video cards during the pandemic or the ones that released defective AIO coolers and then half-assed the recall.
Say it isn’t so!
