If you prioritize a traditional aspect ratio and higher resolution for detailed work or viewing crisp images, the Innocn 32Q1U with its excellent color quality is well-suited for digital photo editing and print photo editing. However, if an ultra-wide screen for immersive gaming and media consumption is more important, with better brightness and contrast for HDR content, the MSI MPG 491CQP would be a better fit, despite its lower resolution. For competitive gaming, the MSI's higher refresh rate and variable refresh rate support provide a smoother experience, but both monitors are not the best choices for minimizing ghosting in fast-paced games.
