Our Verdict
MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED
Samsung Odyssey G65D S32BG65D
The MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED and the Samsung Odyssey G6/G65D S32BG65D are both gaming monitors. The MSI is a better option for most gamers, as it has much better motion handling, more vivid colors, and displays deeper blacks. However, if you prefer a larger or curved screen, the Samsung is a better choice, as it has a larger, curved 32-inch display.
