If you prioritize a wider, immersive experience for tasks like graphic design or video editing and can invest more, the LG 34WQ75C with its larger screen and higher resolution might be the better option. However, if you're focused on budget-friendly gaming, with a need for higher refresh rates and responsive gameplay, the MSI G273QPF would serve you well. Keep in mind the MSI's smaller screen and standard resolution won't deliver as expansive a workspace as the LG, but it would be more suitable for fast-paced competitive gaming. The LG's superior color coverage benefits professional photo editing, while the MSI's performance features cater more to gaming. Give Feedback
