If you prioritize a large, ultrawide display for an immersive gaming and media experience, the LG with its wider aspect ratio is appealing, but keep in mind it comes at a higher cost. The MSI, on the other hand, offers sharper images with a higher resolution and is more suitable for a variety of tasks including productivity and digital photo editing at a lower price point. Both have excellent color and contrast, but if you do professional photo editing, the MSI's wider color gamut coverage and better peak brightness might sway you despite its smaller screen size. If competitive gaming is your focus, both monitors have high refresh rates and low response times, but the MSI has a sharper image due to its higher pixels per inch. For someone cost-conscious who also desires versatility, the MSI could be a compelling option. Give Feedback
