i have a M32U-SA 32in UHD . what are the differences between these two? to me it seems only difference is the HDR 600 and the RGB in the back of the monitor - can anybody see any other differnce? color accuracy is very similar but the MSI optix seems to have a bigger color gamut? is that noticeable? is it worth the $135 premium i paid for the M32U?

Lets see.
Edge lit.
Poor contrast ratio.
Brightness not impressive.
Poor screen uniformity.

No way in hades I'd pay $900 for this.

E-sports gamers won't be bothered with UHD monitors. What they want is high frame rates, couple with high refresh rate. I feel most will get a 1440p monitor for gaming if they want to step up from 1080p. The performance lost at UHD is too great, and especially so for fast pace games.
And when I see edge LED lit, I am not hopeful of good HDR performance. You get very bright backlight @ 600 nits, but it generally lights up the entire screen. So till mini LED or OLED monitors become more mainstream, I think people buying LED lit monitor should not be looking at HDR as the main reason to buy a monitor.

From the Article: "modern video cards can easily wring 200 fps or more from FHD and QHD screens. Does that matter? Oh yes, it does. Even casual gamers can easily see that difference. "

I'd lay money that, in a properly-constructed double-blind test, 95% of gamers, casual, expert, or even professional eSports gamers, could not identify the difference between a 140hz and 200hz frame rate, or even between 140 and 360hz.

32 inches is too big for a desktop monitor for my taste.

Following the recent firmware updates. Inclusion of Premium Color mode in the OSD and now using the 8K HDMI 2.1 cable to my 12gb 3080 it is now the perfect monitor. That is all.. I am a critic but any saturation in windows with HDR on, flickers and oddities are gone. Colours are perfect.. my KDR is up with is less than 1ms latency and yep, I am one happy chap.
Turn off your LEDs and enjoy the perfect black and colours in a dark room. boom

In my actual experience, couldn't be further from the truth with my Optix MPG321UR QD

The review of the MPG321UR-Quantom Dot 4k needs to be updated. Since the two latest firmware updates on this monitor our colorimeters show it to be almost half the input lag, the HDR is closer to 650-700, Premium color is perfect - when local dimming is off.
It is currently the best monitor we have tested in store for gaming. While you need to use the DP 1.4a cable during the firmware updates, use the HDMI 2.1 Port (if you have a HDMI 2.1 card) and enjoy extra color performance, less lag and zero signs of any ghosting.
