If high refresh rates and very low response times are your priority for competitive gaming, the LG monitor offers that, but its image clarity and text quality are not as strong for productivity or media consumption. On the other hand, the MSI has excellent color performance and is better suited for HDR video editing and tasks requiring precise color representation, such as digital photo editing, at a lower price point. The LG is better for fast-paced gaming, while the MSI excels in tasks where color fidelity is crucial. Give Feedback
