Am i missing something

[chili]

Looking to upgrade my old tired dell monitor to something 144hz and in my search i landed on msi monitors, 2 in particular

1. Optix mag271cqr 27" @ £399.95

2. Optix mpg27cq 27" @ £518.99

now the only difference i could find when i compared them is that one has a usb 3.1 type b the other does not and 1 is 1.2kg heavier than the other and lastly 1 has 2xusb2 and the other 2xusb 3.1

So also in my search i went to a place where you would not be able to buy a vindaloo to compare the stats for these 2 monitors that they had, and they were pretty much the same except for 1 thing which hit me right between the eye's

monitor 1. £349.00

monitor 2. £389.00

so which of the 2 is better, am i missing something else?

thanks

The MPG would be the slightly better choice as it's newer, will accept an HDR signal (not that HDR-400 is capable of much), and has some wicked cool amazeballs RGB lighting (joke)... but you're right in picking up on the OCUK price... it's wayyyy too much when you can get it £130 cheaper elsewhere.
