MSI said the following about the essential selling point in these Windows 8.1 all-in-one computers that is constitued by the Flicker Free technology:

To give users an optimal operating environment, MSI insist on the best and is the first to introduce an anti-glare display on its All-in-One touch PCs. This technology is also supported by non-touch models. For offices with serious glare influences, brightly-lit retail stores and at home, the anti-glare feature protects the user’s eyes against reflections coming from the monitor.

The Flicker-free Technology embedded into the AE221 and AE270 stabilize the electric current and prevents flickering invisible to the bare eye under normal conditions. It effectively reduces eyestrain as well as improves productivity for those who have to use a PC everyday with long hours. In addition, the AE221 and AE270 also support the exclusive Blue Light Control Technology, which is able to effectively reduce the blue light emitted from the screen. According to TÜV tests, it can reduce blue light up to 75%, which drastically reduces strain and damage to the eyes.

At the moment, we don’t know the price tags of these two models, but judging by MSI’s history and positioning on the market, they should be more accessible than other similar specced product from more known brands.
