Of course MSI was going to be talking AI when it comes to monitors at Computex this year. I mean, for the third straight year that’s largely all everyone else is going to be talking about at the show, too. But still, “the world’s first agentic AI monitor” probably wasn’t top of my list for must-sees at the Taiwan tradeshow.<\/p>\n

I’m way out west in Taipei, at MSI’s HQ\u2014which was originally MSI Factory 3\u2014and I’m spending my Sunday prodding and poking a bunch of its new toys. I’ve had my hands on the new MSI Claw 9 EX AI+<\/a>, with its fancy new Intel G3 Extreme processor, and I’ve had my eyeballs on a range of MSI’s new monitors as well.<\/p>\n

The $1599 MEG X was definitely one that stood out, though not necessarily for all<\/em> the right reasons. This is the screen billed as that first agentic AI monitor, and it comes with a bunch of new AI-powered features. I would say most of them are of the sort that makes you wonder if someone told the designers they had to find a way to integrate as many features as possible into the screen that they could hang an ‘AI’ badge.<\/p>\n

But there is one that anyone who has struggled with monitor on-screen displays (OSDs) will maybe appreciate: The MEG X has a feature which means you can just ask it to change a setting and it will do it for you.<\/p>\n
