If you prioritize a high-quality visual experience for HDR gaming and media consumption, along with excellent image clarity and color depth for photo editing, the Innocn 32M2V with its larger screen and higher resolution could be well worth the investment. However, if you're more focused on a budget-friendly option that provides very good performance for casual and competitive gaming with a higher refresh rate and faster response time, the MSI G273QPF might be the more appropriate choice despite its lower resolution and smaller screen size. Keep in mind, the MSI lacks HDR capabilities and isn't as suited for tasks that require color accuracy, such as digital photo editing. Give Feedback
