If budget is a major concern and you're involved in tasks like digital photo editing or casual gaming, the MSI G274QPF-QD (IPS) is a cost-effective choice that offers good refresh rates and a decent color gamut. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest more for a superior visual experience with excellent contrast, brightness, and color volume, and are interested in HDR gaming and media consumption, the MSI MAG 341CQP (QD-OLED) with its wider screen and better overall image quality would be the better option, though it might not be as optimized for competitive gaming due to potential ghosting issues.
