Key strengths
The on-screen KVM menu can switch USB devices between USB-B upstream and USB-C. MSI’s Productivity Intelligence software adds a documented Windows switching workflow and configurable hotkeys.
The stand provides 110 mm height travel, ±30° swivel and ±90° portrait pivot. A hardware Less Blue Light PRO filter and an sRGB picture preset are documented.
Before you buy
MSI's datasheet lists 95% sRGB while the manual lists 99%, and the DCI-P3 figures also differ; check the listing if colour coverage matters.
The peripheral hub is USB 2.0, USB-C charging tops out at 65 W, and KVM switching needs the matching USB upstream connections.
Refresh tops out at 75 Hz with a 4 ms GtG response, and the HDMI input is version 1.4b.
Every specification. With its source.
