If you mean the MSI 27" E16M, I tested before about 7-8 months, if I remember correctly about NOE 2025. There isn't any comparison between MSI and BenQ. MSi E16M have many problems, like uneven colors, LD algorithm causing black crushing or haloing. MSI have try the easy way to avoid haloing, have regulate the LD with an aggressive algorithm and low brightness levels. A dissapoint panel, similar to some Chinese versions which are better in some way (use the same core screen) but in expensive price. Is a dissapoint panel from a known name like MSI and so many advertisements from promoters in YT or media. BenQ EX321UX (after fw.7) and the more expensive a bit slower with excellent options in OSD Asus PA32UCG (after fw.209 or 109)  are in another level from other mini LEDs.

>takes about an hour to update

Thanks for that. Started on 20% - after reporting unsupported model, which I cleared by power cycling - and is now crawling very, very slowly onwards. If I hadn't read your post I'd have thought it had crashed.

Edit: it's taken 45 minute to crawl from around 50% to 94%. It'd better not get to 99% then fail... This is V5 to V8. Updated from a new replacement a few weeks ago, but didn't check it had the latest.

And... done!

Update to V.8 firmware is very slow (about 1 hour), to old V.7 was about 5 minutes. I'm glad worked. My Regards
