Choosing between the Innocn 32M2V and the MSI MEG 342C depends on your priorities. If you want a larger screen with a higher resolution and strong productivity features, plus good performance in HDR gaming and media, the Innocn is a solid pick. It also excels in tasks related to photo editing with accurate colors. On the other hand, if gaming, especially competitive gaming, and an immersive media experience are more important to you, and you’re prepared to invest more, the MSI with its OLED technology offers exceptional contrast and color quality. The ultra-wide aspect ratio might limit its use for productivity, but it's superior for gaming and media enjoyment. Give Feedback
