If superior image clarity and larger screen size for a more immersive gaming and media experience are priorities, the MSI MAG 321UPX (QD-OLED) is an excellent choice, especially for HDR gaming and media consumption, and it's also well-suited for color-critical work such as digital photo editing. On the other hand, the ViewSonic XG272 2K OLED (W-OLED) offers a similarly high-quality image with a lower resolution, which might be more cost-effective if you prioritize competitive gaming due to its high refresh rate and fast response time, but it's less suitable for HDR video editing and tasks demanding high-resolution detail.
