Build safety is provisional. Our 2026-10-03 search of CPSC recall data found no MSI monitor recall, and no safety, heat or failure reports turned up in our sources, but we have not yet verified its UL/ETL or equivalent safety certification. The 9.0 is a placeholder until that evidence is reviewed, not a certified rating.
