If you prioritize saving money and require a monitor suitable for digital photo editing with smaller screen size, the MSI G274QPF-QD (IPS) would be a practical choice. On the other hand, if you're looking for an expansive display and high contrast for immersive gaming, especially in competitive settings, and are prepared to invest in a premium product, the Samsung S49AG95 Odyssey Neo G9 (VA Mini LED) offers a wider screen, better contrast, and higher refresh rate, though it might not offer the best image clarity due to its extreme curve and size, making it less ideal for productivity tasks.
