If you prioritize a high refresh rate and competitive gaming, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X (IPS) will serve you well due to its very good refresh rate and large size for immersive play, though it won't offer the same level of HDR gaming and media consumption as the MSI monitor. On the other hand, if you're after a monitor with superb contrast and color accuracy for photo editing, video editing, or enjoying HDR content, the MSI MAG 341CQP (QD-OLED) will be worth the extra cost, plus its wider aspect ratio could enhance productivity by providing more screen real estate. Keep in mind, though, that it has a lower refresh rate, which may not be as optimal for highly competitive gaming scenarios. Give Feedback
