If you're looking for an affordable option that's still suitable for digital photo editing and print photo work, the MSI G274QPF-QD (IPS) may serve you well, though it won't deliver the best gaming or media experience. On the other hand, if you're a serious gamer, particularly in competitive gaming, or you want the best color and contrast for HDR gaming and media, the MSI MAG 271QPX (QD-OLED) is superior, but it comes at a higher cost. Keep in mind, for daily tasks and productivity, both monitors would be adequate, but the MSI MAG 271QPX (QD-OLED) especially shines for its outstanding color and image quality. Give Feedback
