For gamers and PC enthusiasts, a custom-built PC should not only deliver high frame rates but also be the "centerpiece" of their setup. Furthermore, when wanting to monitor hardware status, until now, one had to choose between overlaying temperature information on the screen, obstructing the view, or prioritizing immersion and using it in a "blind state."
However, what if you didn't have to make that choice? What if you could delegate the role of displaying necessary information to another component without sacrificing any screen real estate?
The latest evolution of this philosophy is the MSI MPG CORELIQUID P13 series. Equipped with a 2.1-inch IPS display featuring a seamless curved design, the P13 transforms from a mere component into a "dynamic and elegant dashboard." It provides a "second screen" in the most visible part of the PC: its heart.
Combined with the latest update to MSI Center, you gain the flexibility to access all the built-in features of the MPG CORELIQUID P13 and customize them as you wish.
Let's explore how to utilize and control this display!
**Instantly Check System Status: Startup Animation**
Pressing the power button and watching your PC come to life is a special kind of satisfaction, and the MPG CORELIQUID P13's 2.1-inch display enhances that experience even further. As soon as the system powers on, an elegant startup animation plays on the display. This also serves as an immediate signal that the pump is operating and the system is booting normally!
After Windows starts, you can use "Extended Mode" from MSI Center (EZ Display menu) to play custom animations that match your PC's theme or room ambiance, or if you're a content creator, even display your own logo.
**HUD: Real-time Hardware Monitoring**
You invested in a high-end GPU and monitor to fully experience beautiful game worlds, not to stare at a jumble of numbers flickering in the corner of your vision during intense boss battles. With the MPG CORELIQUID P13's 2.1-inch LCD, you can monitor performance and temperatures while keeping your game screen clean and uncluttered.
Simply select the items you want to track in MSI Center, and the P13's screen instantly transforms into a highly convenient HUD (Head-Up Display). Through the transparent side panel, you can check frequencies, temperatures, RAM usage, and more at a glance.
**Functional Design and Aesthetics: A Clock, and More**
While you might need a hardware HUD during gaming, you probably don't need to continuously monitor system temperatures when browsing websites or replying to emails.
Constantly looking at a static temperature display when the system is not under load can be a bit bland. In such cases, set the P13's display to an elegant clock display in MSI Center.
With the edgeless design of the MPG CORELIQUID P13, the time doesn't just look like a "display on a monitor." The clock, visible through the curved, seamless glass, is beautiful and adds practicality, instantly transforming your gaming machine into a stylish piece of interior decor.
**Entertainment and Branding: Video Loop Playback**
Still images are good, but "motion" truly brings a space to life. The MPG CORELIQUID P13's LCD can stream video content from platforms like YouTube and BiliBili directly to the pump head, not just simple GIF animations.
Simply enter the link of the video you want to loop in the MSI Center's EZ Display app, and the video will start playing on the LCD!
MSI Center is set to continuously loop a single video once a video link is entered. It will focus on displaying the selected content without jumping to "next videos" or "autoplay recommendations" that might disrupt your setup's theme.
**Another Display: As an Extension of Your Workspace**
In addition to the features introduced so far, the MPG CORELIQUID P13's screen can also function as a full-fledged sub-monitor (or a third monitor) by setting it to "Extended Display Mode"!
This allows you to drag any window onto this screen.
