If budget is a concern and your focus is on digital photo editing with accurate colors or you need a monitor with a unique aspect ratio for productivity, the LG DualUp 28MQ780 could be better. However, if you're looking for top-notch contrast, color vibrancy, and an immersive experience for HDR gaming and media consumption, and are willing to pay more, the MSI MAG 341CQP with its QD-OLED panel would be the superior choice. The MSI also offers a better experience for casual and competitive gaming due to its wider variable refresh rate range and quicker response time. Give Feedback
