If affordability is a priority and you engage in a mix of productivity, casual gaming, and media consumption, the Innocn 32M2V offers good image clarity and color accuracy, as well as a respectable refresh rate for smoother visuals. It's well-suited for digital and print photo editing. On the other hand, the MSI 45GS96QB, with its premium OLED panel, delivers superior contrast and a wider refresh rate range, enhancing the competitive gaming experience with minimal ghosting. However, its image clarity and text quality falter, which could hinder productivity tasks and extended media viewing sessions. The Innocn is more cost-effective for diverse use, while the MSI caters to gamers seeking high performance at a higher price. Give Feedback
