If you prioritize competitive gaming with the highest responsiveness and minimal motion blur, the Asus PG27AQDM will serve you well, but its smaller screen size and lower resolution may be less impressive for productivity and media consumption. Conversely, the MSI MAG 341CQP offers a larger, ultrawide screen that's better for an immersive media experience and multitasking, but it might not match the Asus in terms of absolute gaming performance. Both monitors offer excellent color and contrast as expected from OLED technology, making them both suitable for HDR gaming and accurate color work like photo editing. Give Feedback
