Not bad decision at all, unlike many rushed decisions.

MSI's AU Optronics panel covers also AdobeRGB which reaches deeper into greens and cyan than any of LG's DCI-P3 panels giving more vibrant colours in games depicting nature.
And as even more notable thing AUO panel has actually very good contrast for IPS.
While for some inexplicable reason contrast of that LG's 27" 2560x1440 "Nano-IPS" is blast from 15 years ago.
As result MSI's contrast is well above 40% higher, which gives better blacks.
(IPS has never too good contrast)

hi....bought it and it looks great so far. Been doing a bit of research today and i see a lot of things about using a srgb colour profile for the monitor but I can not see how to enable it. I follows steps to update the firmware and installed the gaming os utility as instructed but there is no option to choose the srgb profile. @EsaT do you know anything about this monitor

sRGB mode is in settings of monitor itself.
But colour management is better than hard capping gamut you've paid extra for.
Unless you want to go through the hassle of constantly going into monitor settings to disable/enable it.

Monitor "driver" contains ICC profile telling size of monitor's gamut making colour space aware software able to show sRGB content without exaggerated saturation.

(assuming really bloated utility doesn't install it)
Default image viewer of Windows has been colour space aware since 7 and browsers like FireFox support also it.
Also multimedia players like Media Player Classic HC have long supported it.
(and of course any serious image editors for far longer)

cheers mate, found it now
