If you prioritize HDR video editing and print photo editing, the MSI MAG 341CQP stands out with its superior coverage in those areas. Conversely, for a customer looking for high-quality gaming and media consumption at a slightly lower cost, the Acer X34V may be the better option. Both monitors deliver excellent color depth and contrast thanks to their OLED technology, facilitating immersive gaming experiences. However, the Acer has a lower SDR peak brightness, which may affect its performance in very bright rooms, but this is often a non-issue in typical viewing environments. Give Feedback
