I am writing this to highlight a very frustrating marketing tactic used by MSI regarding the Pulse GL66 (11UGKV). While the official specifications list an HDMI 2.1 port, the reality is far from what a consumer expects from this standard.The HDMI port on this machine is a perfect example of "name-only" rebranding. Although it is labeled as 2.1, it lacks the most critical features of the actual standard:No VRR/G-Sync Support: It does not support Variable Refresh Rate, making it impossible to use G-Sync on external monitors through HDMI.Limited Bandwidth: The port is capped at 18Gbps, which is exactly the specification of the old HDMI 2.0.Misleading Marketing: MSI chose to use the HDMI 2.1 label by only supporting minor features (like ALLM), while omitting the high-bandwidth and sync features that gamers and power users actually need.It is disappointing to see a reputable brand use legal loopholes to rebadge old technology as new. Even though this model is no longer the latest on the market, this experience has seriously damaged my trust in how MSI reports its hardware specs.Consumers deserve transparency, not technicalities used to hide outdated ports.Model: MSI Pulse GL66 11UGKV Issue: HDMI 2.1 Labeling without VRR/G-Sync or full bandwidth.
