The MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen than the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED's excellent resolution and brightness create a vivid, crisp display, while its OLED technology ensures deep blacks and high contrast ratios, but its lower refresh rate may not satisfy gamers. The MSI Raider GE67Hx offers an equally excellent resolution and brightness for everyday tasks, and adds wide color gamuts, which are critical for engineering and design work, allowing for precise color representation. However, for 3D applications and gaming, despite the resolution and panel type being acceptable, the poor refresh rate of both models means animations and fast-paced visuals may not appear as smooth as required for optimal experience.

How the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED and the MSI Raider GE67Hx compare to other laptops
"While one of the more budget-friendly configurations of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED may make a compelling case as a top value pick, it’s difficult to be disappointed with the more expensive model we reviewed here. At its core, for all models, it’s a luxury-built laptop with extreme portability and a gorgeous OLED display. Our unit rocks with a snappy Core i9 processor for getting real work done, and the discrete GPU—even if it has a clear power ceiling—is a bonus for creative pros."
"If you've wanted to dip your toes into PC gaming but can't let go of your console roots, the MSI Raider GE67 HX stakes out an attractive middle ground between the speed and versatility of PC gaming and the comfort and ease of a console. If you can overlook its noisy fans and chintzy touchpad, the Raider provides a powerhouse entertainment experience with an OLED screen that tops most household TVs. It's not cheap, but this gaming machine is more than the sum of its parts."
