If you prioritize a wider screen for an immersive gaming and media experience, and don't mind spending more, the LG 34GS95QE with its ultra-wide aspect ratio could suit you. However, if sharpness, peak brightness, and color accuracy are more critical for tasks like photo editing and enjoying HDR content, then the MSI MAG 321UPX, with its higher resolution and color gamut, may be the better investment despite its standard widescreen format. Both are premium monitors, but choosing the MSI could save you some money while offering a higher pixel density for crisper images. Give Feedback
