Monitor sifus out there, I need some help here. Can't really make a decision on which of the above monitors are a better purchase. Anyone who owns these would like to give some insight ?

Straight up to 48" LG C1 OLED lar. I also just bought one RM4488. Quite cheap now. With 4 HDMI 2.1 ports, this baby is quite future proofed. The insane low input lag is another big big plus if you like to play competitive FPS.

need to depend on which graphic card you use too, if your graphic card just mid tier, not really suggested to go for LG C1
Only go LG C1 if you own top tier graphic card or you just use it for productivity that can open many screen in 1 monitor.

My just arrived today. Not sure too big or not. Currently using 32" 4K LCD monitor. Will change to new LG C1 later tonight. Main reason is the current one doesn't have enough HDMI for me. Let me test it out and update you here after I replaced my tonight.

performance-wise, both are really close so it really depends on which feature do you need the most.

for example, the MSI has a swivel whereas the LG doesn't.

the LG has slightly better color out-of-the-box.

LG has a slightly higher refresh rate (180Hz) and its freesync range is up to 180Hz as well. due to this, the LG comes with DisplayPort 1.4.

The swivel part I think won't bother me because will be using it with a monitor arm. But from my readings online the MSI has a higher contrast ration than the LG, will it be a huge difference? Oh and I also saw that MSI has a larger color gamut but I dunno what does that affect. The only reason I am putting consideration into LG is due to it being cheaper than the MSI

yes from the reviews, the MSI has slightly better contrast however both being IPS, they are pretty much the same, to be honest.

also consider which one is more reliable and provides good warranty.

Wah not bad wor that price, I was looking at getting a LG C1 for monitor also, doing some graphics works, video editing and plan to pair with a PS5 later. But the thing is 32in also quite huge already if in front of the desk, think I will need to mount it to the wall or something.

Yup, or you need a very deep desk space to handle this display properly. Tried Elden Ring on HDR yesterday, the graphic is super nice. Some said the HDR is not good enough but for me it's definitely bright enough, in fact a bit more than what I would expected.
