MSI Optix MEG381CQR Plus gaming monitor launched with rotatable HMI dial

The MSI Optix MEG381CQR Plus also comes with a camera cradle on the top and a mouse bungee to manage your wires better. However, the key USP here is a rotatable dial on the bottom left of the monitor that gamers can use to switch between display modes and other settings. This  is much more convenient than conventional monitor settings which are often cumbersome, especially if you’re in the middle of a game.

Other features of the monitor include an RGB panel that syncs with your game and allows new possibilities like turning red when your health bar is running low. The MSI Optix MEG381CQR Plus also supports VESA mounting, and comes with two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 and a USB hub with three USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports and a single USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port.  There are microphone in and out ports too, but sadly no HDMI 2.1 ports here.

MSI has not officially announced the pricing of the monitor yet, which could be region specific. It is likely to be on the expensive side given its range of features and the spec-sheet, but one worth watching out for if you’re looking for a no-nonsense gaming monitor with all the bells and whistles.
