If high resolution and larger screen size are important to you, especially for detailed work or immersive gaming and media, you will find the MSI MPG 321URX (QD-OLED) suitable, although it comes at a higher cost. However, for those who prioritize saving money and still want a high-quality OLED gaming experience, the Pixio PX277 OLED Max (W-OLED) provides very good gaming performance and color accuracy for photo editing at a lower price, albeit with a smaller screen and lower resolution. Both monitors excel in color depth and contrast, which is great for HDR content, but the lower resolution of the Pixio could detract from its clarity for productivity tasks compared to the MSI.
