If you prioritize higher screen resolution and larger screen size for a more immersive gaming and media experience, the MSI MPG 321URX with its 32-inch 4K display will be superior, but it comes at a higher price. On the other hand, if you're looking for a cost-effective option that still delivers a very good gaming experience and is suitable for digital photo editing, then the LG 27GS95QE's 27-inch 1440p display might be the better choice for you, especially if you can compromise on the slightly lower resolution and screen size for the savings in cost. Both monitors excel in HDR gaming and media consumption, but the MSI has a higher brightness, which can be pivotal for HDR content. The MSI also covers a wider color gamut, making it more suitable for tasks like HDR video editing and print photo editing. If you engage in competitive gaming, consider the MSI for its larger screen and higher resolution, allowing for clearer visuals and more screen real estate to work with, but remember it comes with a higher price tag.
