If you're on a budget and mainly involved in casual gaming and productivity, the MSI G273QPF (IPS) could be a solid choice with good performance. It has a fair balance for both gaming and general use, but its picture quality in HDR and color performance won't be as vibrant as higher-priced models. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest more, especially for competitive gaming and media consumption with best-in-class visuals, the MSI MPG 271QRX (QD-OLED) offers superior color accuracy and contrast. It excels in almost all visual aspects, including HDR content and print photo editing, making it suitable for professional use as well as immersive gaming and movie-watching experiences.
