Monitor recommendation between these 2

JKD456

Hi,

i've been doing some research on what new monitor to get. Im looking for something thats 27" 144hz and va and 1440p and preferably curved. so far i've found 2 i'm torn between and would like some reccomendatoins between them or maybe others you think are better for the price.

 

 i found the 27" MSI Optix MAG271CQR Curved Monitor and the AOC CQ32G1 31.5" QHD FreeSync 144Hz Curved Gaming Monitor

 

From the rewies and price im leaning more towards the AOC, I love RGB but on a monitor even i think its a bit pointless haha. just wondering if the worse brand (AOC) will come with any compromises and if 31" will be to big. im using a 24" 144hz TN currently and though that 27" would be perfect but from looking at reviews people seem to love wide monitors so as a whole im leaning towards the AOC.

 

(Yes i have the desk space and im buying it 1440p for when i get my new gpu in a few months, future proofing. I have no problem gaming on it in 1080p :)

AOC and that MSi are pretty much on pare. AOC a bit darker than the MSI though but fixed mine with NVIDIA control panel vibrance and 60% and 100% brightness. AOC I like it but if I could've chosen now MSI I'd go with.

If you want read differences: https://www.gpucheck.com/compare-monitors/31.5-msi-optix-mag321cqr-vs-31.5-aoc-cq32g1/

So at the end judging on owning one and looking in person at the MSI. I'd say you'd be better off at spending a little extra for the MSI. 32" if possible.

Curved screens are better at bigger size cause depending on setup it may look flat due to only 3 inches bigger than your current panel.

If it were me and I could return the AOC I would.

MSI headset hanger is something I need and the RGB is nice looking.

so would you recommend the MSI MAG271CQR. i can't seem to find anywhere that sells a 31.5" MSI Optix MAG321CQR except for a really bad reviewed website. i was also planning on going duel monitor but with a 31.5" i won't be able to

Really? Well the 32 is 440 USD. If you want to do dual then needing two, price wise is the AOC like I said it's not bad it's actually good for the price but in my opinion the MSI is nicer looking and could be better in games. Like the link I sent. Pretty much the same just different brands and I'm sure the MSI is brighter and better in games.
