If you prioritize a larger screen, higher resolution, and better HDR performance, the Innocn 32M2V with its MiniLED technology can provide a vibrant and sharp HDR gaming and media consumption experience, and it has a high brightness for better image clarity. It's also well-suited for photo editing with accurate colors, but it's more expensive. On the other hand, the MSI MAG274QRF-QD offers a smaller screen and lower resolution but a higher refresh rate and response time, which is better for competitive gaming. It's less suited for HDR content and may not be as vibrant for media, but it's more affordable. Give Feedback

"Whlie not perfect, the Innocn 32M2V is an excellent HDR gaming monitor if you want a 32″ 4K high refresh rate display – just make sure you’re familiar with all its flaws. If you’ve been waiting for a 32″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with proper HDR support, the Innocn 32M2V is the first model available at a reasonable price."

"The MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD has the largest color gamut we’ve ever seen and near-perfect out-of-box accuracy. sRGB content will be oversaturated though, and HDR doesn’t do anything for image quality."
