Choosing between the MSI MAG 321UPX (QD-OLED) and the ViewSonic VX2776 2K OLED (W-OLED) depends on your priorities. The MSI monitor offers a larger screen and a higher 4K resolution that is better suited for HDR gaming, media consumption, and digital photo editing due to its superior peak brightness and color coverage. However, the ViewSonic has a lower resolution but still excels in color accuracy and response time, making it also suitable for competitive gaming and productivity, but it might not be the best for HDR video editing or when the highest possible resolution is desired. If you need a larger, more vivid display for mixed-use including high-end gaming and media, the MSI could be the better fit, but if competitive gaming and everyday use are more your focus, you might prefer the ViewSonic despite its smaller screen and lower resolution.
