Protect your Eyes with MSI’s MODERN Business Monitors. Modern MD241P Ultramarine & Modern MD271CPW
movie, caring for your eyes isn’t a factor many of us consider too often. However, it’s a critical factor now more than ever in the post-pandemic world we live in today. That's precisely how both the MSI Modern MD241P Ultramarine and Modern MD271CPW Monitors are able to offer unparalleled viewing comfort.
Is EYE PROTECTION Really That Important?
Short answer – yes.
If you’re working from home, watching movies, and generally spending more time staring at your screen than before, then it’s a yes.
Here’s the long answer.
The pandemic has left us bereft of an essential facet of life – ‘going out.’ You know, picnics, parties, gatherings, concerts, football games; you name it.
As a result, you, like so many others, are probably spending a lot more time at home, which translates to a lot more time spent in front of a screen. In fact, studies report that screen usage has almost doubled for the young adult age bracket!
"Average screen time for entertainment purposes was 5.08 hours before the
pandemic, but this average increased to 7.98 hours during the pandemic.
Screen time spent for educational/professional purposes increased to 8.49 hours during
the pandemic from 4.29 before the pandemic." -

Interestingly, other studies also found that the time spent staring at a screen didn’t go down as expected even when restrictions eased up.
Elevated levels of screen usage have often been linked to fatigue, headaches, eye strain, and so much more. Not only is this detrimental to your health in the long term, but it also affects your productivity, alertness, and efficiency in the short term. Truly, a lose-lose.
So, if you MUST stare at a monitor for hours on end, isn’t it best to minimize these adverse effects to the extent that current technology allows us to?
We think so.
When implemented correctly, Eye Care technologies protect your eyes from fatigue. This allows you to work more effectively and efficiently – ensuring that you remain focused for longer hours to get work done sooner. What’s more, you can now truly relax and kick back to watch a movie rather than it being a torturous, post-work/school affair that puts additional strain on you.
How does EYE PROTECTION Technology Help?
Eye Care involves rectifying a few factors that cause eye strain in a display. The most common culprits are:
• Excessive Blue Light
• Screen Flickering
• Excessive Glare
• Sub-par Ergonomics
• Frequent Focal Length Adjustments (prevalent in large, flat displays)
• Poor Quality Panel
MSI's Quest to Offer Superior EYE PROTECTION
We genuinely believe health comes first. So, while our advice is still to take frequent breaks from your monitor to look around, walk around, get in some exercise, we know it’s not always possible during a busy workday.
That’s precisely why we designed a range of Eye Care products that help minimize eye strain, even if you’re stuck working long hours or feel like settling down for a truly epic binge-watching session.
Less Blue Light
Excessive exposure to blue light has often been linked to a litany of complaints – the most common of which is poor sleep. Blue light is among the higher energy colors in the visible spectrum light. Although exposure to it keeps you awake and alert during the day, prolonged exposure messes with your Circadian Rhythm.
MSI’s Less Blue Light Technology filters out blue light from your display for a far more comfortable viewing experience. It dramatically minimizes any blue-light-induced sleep disorders, ensuring that the time spent in front of a screen won’t be detrimental to your overall health.
Anti-Flicker
Studies show that a mere 3 to 4 hours of using a regular computer monitor can result in eye fatigue for a whopping 90% of PC users. Much of this is caused by the imperceptible flicker of a panel. So, when you’re using a monitor for extended work or leisure sessions, it’s crucial to hunt for anti-flicker options for the best experience.
MSI’s range of business monitors come equipped with Anti-Flicker technology, which minimizes digital eye strain even over longer sessions. Combine it with other Eye Care features for superior viewing comfort.
Anti-Glare
When you're working, it doesn’t help if you constantly feel like you’re staring into the sun for several hours at a stretch. Although lowering brightness, Less Blue Light technology, and Anti Flicker technology help alleviate some problems, glare continues to be an issue.
Results from field studies show that effective anti-glare technologies reduced the frequency of visual health symptoms like eye fatigue, dryness, headaches, and so on. MSI’s range of Eye Care products offers research-backed Anti-Glare technologies to give viewing comfort top priority, regardless of whether you’re working or watching a movie.
Superior Ergonomics
Eye Care discussions sometimes remain so focused on eye-related technologies that other factors contributing to minimizing eye fatigue get left out of the conversation. One such critical factor is ergonomics.
Ensure that the monitor you use offers the flexibility to adjust to your height and posture. All the Eye Care technologies in the world won’t help if your monitor stand is rigid and you’re straining to see what’s written on one corner of your screen.
MSI’s line of Eye Care products comes equipped with top-of-the-line ergonomic stands that will bend to your will. So, whether you need a slight height, swivel, or tilt adjustment, they accommodate your every need to make sure you never compromise your health.
Curved Display Options
As we covered above, frequent changes in focal length cause additional strain on your eyes – resulting in eye fatigue. In addition, using relatively larger flat monitors means that while you have extra screen real estate, the far edges of your monitor are much farther away than the center of your monitor. So, every glance across your screen requires your eyes to adjust their focus constantly.
Curving the monitor screen brings those edges closer to you, making every part of the monitor near-equidistant once more. This reduces the strain on your eyes substantially – making it a critical Eye Care feature for larger displays.

MSI Modern MD241P Ultramarine
When it comes to gliding into your workspace and demanding attention while adding a royal flair to it, nothing compares to the MSI Modern MD241P Ultramarine.
"A noble color, beautiful, the most perfect of all colors"
- Cennino Cennini (Book of Arts, 1400AD)
Renaissance-era artists had no choice but to hunt for the elusive Lapis Lazuli precious stone to create the perfect Ultramarine color in the 1400s – making it a color reserved for only the most important paintings and people.
Borrowing one of the finest and most expensive blues used by artists in the 1400s, the MD241P Ultramarine’s magnificence in a workspace is something that no monitor of any other color can hope to replicate.
In addition to its gorgeous looks, the MD241P Ultramarine comes equipped with all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a productivity-focused monitor. It offers a 23.8” Full HD IPS panel with wide viewing angles, a 75 Hz refresh rate, and low response times to enhance viewing comfort when you’re scrolling through long documents or webpages all day long.
The MSI MD241P Ultramarine, much like its larger curved sibling, the MD271CPW, is backed by a TUV Certification. It also offers all the Eye Care features you’ll need for a comfortable viewing experience, even on those days when work seems never-ending.
While Less Blue Light and Anti-Flicker Technologies work in tandem to keep your eyes healthy, the MD241P Ultramarine’s ergonomic stand ensures that you needn’t compromise on posture either. It’s fully adjustable – allowing for tilt, height, pivot and swivel adjustments.
It's time to add an unmistakeable MODERN flair to your setup.When you're working or relaxing for several hours at a stretch, caring for your eyes just cannot take a back seat.
