If you're into competitive gaming, the Gigabyte FO27Q3 stands out due to its higher refresh rate, which provides smoother gameplay; however, its smaller size and lower pixels per inch may affect productivity tasks and media viewing. On the other hand, the MSI MAG 341CQP's wider screen and ultra-wide aspect ratio offer an immersive experience for media consumption and multitasking, but its lower refresh rate is less optimal for fast-paced gaming. Both monitors offer excellent contrast and are suitable for color-intensive tasks such as photo editing, but keep in mind that ghosting is worse on the Gigabyte, which could be distracting.
