MSreleased the the new AG220 and AG240 as the successors to its AG2712A that won the CES Innovation Award this year. The AG220 and AG240 are 21.5" and 23.6" Full HD All-in-One PCs that support MSI's industry-leading Anti-Flicker and Less Blue Light technologies. Both AG220 and AG240 are based on Intel's latest Haswell platform with support for quad-core processors. The PCs also feature NVIDIA's latest GeForce GTX 860M gamer-grade discrete graphics card and Killer game networking accelerator card favored by pro-gamers.
To provide gamers with an even better gaming environment, MSI has led the way in optimal visual solutions by introducing anti-glare matte displays on its All-in-One PC. No matter at LAN Party venues with serious glare issues or brightly-lit super markets and Internet cafes, the anti-glare protection guards the user's eyes against glare from the computer screen. The AG220 and AG240 are also the first in the industry to feature MSI Anti-Flicker technology, which stabilizes the electrical current to prevent serious flickering seen in standard displays. Under any setting, the technology also reduces eye fatigue after extended use while also enhancing the quality of the gaming environment.
In addition to offering MSI Anti-Flicker feature, the AG220/AG240 also supports Less Blue Light technology - with as much as 75% reduction - combined with the MSI exclusively-developed ScenaMax image optimization software to effectively reduce the screen’s Blue light emission; significantly reducing harmful eye strain and protecting gamers’ treasured eye sights.
The MSI ScenaMax concurrently supports fully-automatic game and movie screen synchronisation for the best image processing; enables gaming in dark environments with more detailed scenes, and ensures masterful dominance in games without missing out on any fleeting moments in movies.
Next-Generation NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M Gamer-grade Discrete Graphics Card
MSI is the first computer manufacturer in the world to develop All-in-One PCs designed for e-Sports. It is not easy to pack a high-performance graphics card into the limited space of a highly-integrated All-in-One PC. The AG220 and AG240 are the first to introduce the latest NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M discrete graphics card with up to 2GB of GDDR5 RAM and full DirectX 11 support. Players will be able to enjoy perfect lag-free visuals in both single-player or online multiplayer mode.
Gamer-grade Killer LAN for Optimal Network Gaming Environment
The network environment is crucial to taking out enemies quickly and accurately in online games. The AG220 and AG240 support the Killer network accelerator that optimizes network packet priority to greatly reduce the latency of online game data-streams. Killer LAN can also optimize the streaming of online videos, allowing users to enjoy even smoother high-quality video streams on websites such as YouTube.
MSI Super RAID 2 and Plextor True Speed Performance Technology (Optional)
Apart from the graphics card and network card, the best way to boost gaming performance lies in the storage media. AG220 and AG240 supports up to three mSATA SSD that can be configured to run in RAID 0 for read speeds of up to 1500MB/sec, taking gaming loading times to unprecedented speeds. In multiplayer games with large textures, when you turn around to take out your opponent you will no longer experience the traditional lag from a busy HDD reading/writing texture data.
Plextor has also formed a sole-partnership with Plextor to provide mSATA SSD optimized for MSI All-in-One PCs. Plextor's proprietary True Speed performance technology also delivers the most stable long-term read/write performance to eliminate the drop in read/write speed experienced by SSDs after long use.
Military Class 4 Components
Along with the continued performance increases, AG220 and AG240 have not neglected their commitment to quality and stability either. As part of a continuous process of refinement, MSI has introduced Military Class 4 parts to its All-in-One PC products. Military Class 4 not only uses high-quality SFC, Hi-c CAP and Dark CAP but has also passed third-party laboratory testing to MIL-STD-810G military standards to guarantee component stability after extended gaming in addition to exceptional power efficiency.
Creative Sound Blaster Cinema Sound Onboard
The MSI AG220 and AG240 is equipped with Creative's new Sound Blaster Cinema sound technology that optimizes voice and surround sound effects for watching movies, listening to music or gaming. Users can now enjoy the immersive effects no matter their environment.
Enhanced I/O with Full Range of Interfaces
The MSI AG220 and AG240 come with a comprehensive range of I/O options, MSI's Super Charger power-off charging technology, and a USB 3.0 transfer interface with 10X the transfer rate, allowing you to make large file transfers and meet multimedia requirements more effectively. AG220 and AG240 also feature integrated HDMI input (MSI Instant Display) and output connectors for output to large displays. Alternatively, MSI Instant Display technology can be used to use the AIO as a pure display without having to boot up first.
