I, honestly, would like to hear your thoughts on AI being put into things like monitors. Do you feel it's actually real AI or is it more marketing hype? And this is just some, you know, something they could have maybe done previously, but they're really looking to sell on the AI marketing. But do you feel that there's actually a solid value to it or sometimes just a gimmick? I really love to hear your honest thoughts. For me, it's that the point where when I hear the word AI, I pretty much turn off and don't listen to anything else until the next product's announced. AI is the best way to not sell a product to me. I was never in on the AI hype. I feel there's a really valuable use for it, but I still think it's disingenuous to call so many things AI.

Another question for you. Do you plan on covering the dual mode VA panel that MSI has coming out? I still find dual mode interesting for me, but I'm coming from someone who wants to play old retro games that barely look okay in 1080p. Though everything I'm understanding is, you actually are losing graphical fidelity when you go to the 1080p. You're getting faster refresh rates of 1080p for these sports. I don't do any e-sports. I only mention it for the old classic games. Maybe I'd be just better off served with sticking with 1440 or a 4K only panel and playing a 1080 window and having everything be black. I don't know. I'm curious to hear your thoughts. Everyone talks about dual modes in regards to e-sports and nothing.

Oh, and just I tried to review what's being written, but due to an injury, I am mostly doing speech to text right now and hopefully it's not too confusing or I didn't have anything completely messed up.

I agree that the term AI is being over-used, but that's uniform across all industries and I take it with a pinch of salt when I hear it. Only some of the "AI" features were being showcased on this monitor at Gamescom, but there were other examples at CES like identifying enemies on maps and that kind of thing. I suppose at the end of the day if there is a technology in the monitor which is intelligently watching the content and responding then it could be considered AI in some ways. For me, i think i'd wait to see what the finished product looks like, and what features end up being offered before i decided whether the AI tag was justified or not :)

No current plans to review it, but we may be able to at some point. I suppose whether it's of value to you or not really depends if those games which you play at a lower resolution will support a higher refresh rate / frame rate that's on offer when using dual-mode? If not, there's probably not much need for it for your uses, as you could just get a standard monitor and lower the resolution. If the low res games support higher frame rates, then it's a good way to get a boost beyond the native refresh rate.

Yeah, the games I'm thinking about won't really benefit from a higher refresh rate. So, thanks, that's really good. Good feedback.
