Question Which monitor should I choose between these 2?

[Noawie]

Hi, I want to get myself an ultrawide for the first time and I dont really know much about the 2 options I have because I find it hard to compare, I hope someone with more knowledge than me can help me out here.

Option 1: MSI MAG 345CQR (239 euro)
Option 2: Samsung Odyssey G5 34 Ultrawide (259 euro)

I can get the MSI one for 20 euros cheaper but I'm a bit worried about how much they cheaped out on stuff because it has 180hz while the Samsung has 165hz. I know the Samsung one has a bad monitor stand which I might compromise if the MSI has ghosting issues or too much input delay. I cant really find much about the MSI one on the internet and my knowledge is pretty limited. I hate ghosting and input delay so if the MSI one has those issues I would not even consider it anymore. If there are any better alternatives for the same price please let me know.

Any help would be appreciated!

Both are VA screens. Expect ghosting on both of them.
Consider getting IPS screen instead.

Yeah true but one must have it more than the other right? If I want to go with IPS its almost double the price :/

Well ... either pay more or have ghosting.
Your choice.

I was in exactly your situation several years ago.
Needed a new screen and had to choose between cheaper VA screen and IPS.
Thought ghosting wouldn't bother me too much. Honestly didn't do too much research also.
Oh boy, was I wrong.
Ghosting absolutely ruins high fps game-play. It is very annoying.
When my VA screen finally broke down, made sure next screen is not VA anymore.

For anything else than gaming it was a beautiful screen though.
