The specialty is based on the curved VA panel with the 1920 × 1080 px resolution. This display features the 4 ms response time and the 144 Hz refresh rate. Its brightness index reaches 250 cd/m2 and contrast level – 3000:1 (with the dynamic contrast coming up to 100 000 000:1). Viewing angles are 178 degrees (horizontally and vertically).


ED273Awidpx supports AMD FreeSync technology, which synchronizes image frequency between a graphics card and a monitor. Dedicated systems protect user’s eyes, while removing flicker and reducing blue backlighting intensity.

Nonetheless, the novels are known to support AMD ZeroCore with Boost technology that provides for an automatic GPU clock frequency boost on conditions of an increased computing loading. Dynamic clock frequency indices of both models are not so dramatic, since they exceed the nominal showings at 10 MHz only; still, the support of a brand MSI Afterburner utility enables a raise of frequencies to the required level.



The two representatives of MSI Radeon HD 7950 Boost Edition series employ GDDR5 memory with an overall capacity of 3 GB and 384-bit interface. Its nominal clock frequency equals to 1250 MHz, while its efficient frequency achieves 5000 MHz. Memory modules, as well other critical components, are cooled down by a two-slot …

The novelty from Western Digital – a portable SSD drive under the G-Technology brand (namely the R-Series G-Drive Mobile SSD) – is to see the world by the end of the year.
