If you're a competitive gamer valuing fast refresh rates and minimal ghosting, the MSI MAG 271QPX with its high refresh capabilities would be the better option. For an immersive experience in both gaming and media, the wider MSI MAG 341CQP offers an expansive screen with a high resolution, but keep in mind its refresh rate isn't as high as the 271QPX. Both monitors have excellent color performance for activities such as photo editing. The choice between them largely depends on whether you prioritize a higher refresh rate for competitive play or a larger, wider display for an immersive experience. Give Feedback
