If you prioritize high resolution and exceptional image quality for tasks like HDR video editing, digital photo editing, or immersive media consumption, the Innocn 32M2V (IPS MiniLED) is suitable, bearing in mind its higher price. The MSI G274QPF-QD (IPS), on the other hand, is budget-friendly and decent for casual gaming with a faster refresh rate, but it falls short for tasks requiring precise color details like print photo editing and HDR-related tasks. For competitive gaming, both monitors have their merits, but the MSI with its higher refresh rate excels. For general productivity, the Innocn outshines the MSI with better clarity and a larger screen. Give Feedback
