If you prioritize high resolution for tasks like digital photo editing and productivity, the Innocn 27M2V with its 4K display may suit you better. However, for an unparalleled gaming experience, especially in competitive settings, the MSI MPG 271QRX's faster refresh rate and superior response time will give you an edge, along with stunning color depth for HDR gaming and media. The MSI's lower resolution isn't ideal for productivity, but its exceptional contrast and color gamut make it great for color-sensitive work like HDR video editing. Choose the Innocn for detailed work and mixed usage, or the MSI for gaming and vivid visual content. Give Feedback

Display Ninja
Rob Shafer | January 2024
"Thanks to the wide color gamut, games and videos will look even more vibrant than the standard wide gamut displays (such as LG’s Nano IPS with 98% DCI-P3 and ~90% Adobe RGB, for instance), especially when it comes to blue, cyan and green shades. All in all, if you want a 27″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with a mini LED FALD backlight, the Innocn 27M2V is currently the best model available."
