If you prioritize a wider screen and good performance for HDR gaming and media, the LG 39GS95QE would be an excellent choice, but keep in mind its higher price point and lower suitability for tasks like color-sensitive work. The MSI MPG 271QRX, on the other hand, offers a smaller display but excels in color accuracy, making it better for digital and print photo editing, and it has a higher refresh rate which is ideal for competitive gaming. It also comes at a lower cost, making it more accessible. If cost is a concern and you want a more versatile monitor for both gaming and productivity, the MSI might be the way to go. Give Feedback
