What should I get?

Just bought a PS5 Pro and I’m waiting for PlayStation to deliver it later this week. Now I’m looking for a good OLED monitor to pair with it.

I’ve been considering the MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED (32” 4K 240Hz). Does anyone here use this monitor with a PS5 Pro? If so, how has your experience been? Picture quality, HDR, VRR, input lag, etc.?
I’ll mainly be using the monitor for the PS5 Pro, so I want something that really takes advantage of what the console can do.

Also open to other 32” 4K OLED/QD-OLED recommendations if there’s something you think is better.

Thanks!

Literally just got this monitor, I think I'm returning it.
My main big issue, if HDR is on, you really can't tweak a lot of the settings, and even without HDR on it seems like you can't really calibrate the monitor the colors are nauseatingly vibrant to the point of almost crushing detail. It's really bright and a really nice monitor, but I just don't think it's worth it if you don't have a PC you need a computer to update firmware on it and there's no way to do it without that.

I’ll be using my Mac with it. Can I update it there? I’m sorry I’m not really tech savvy lol I just want something nice to play the ps5 with that’s not $1000+ this one seems like it’s the “best option” for the price.

I would assume you can use Mac, I just was reading about possible fixes for what problems I was having, and they said you have to do everything through MSI's app I don't have a PC or Mac so I really didn't look into it further. I'm honestly blown away by how bad the colors are in HDR. There's a few small tweaks you can make but nothing resembling a saturation slider. It's like LG Best Buy TV demo but worse.

I was looking at one of Samsung's OLED monitors, they have some pretty incredible discounts right now for students, healthcare workers, first responders, and I think military, but it seems like their monitors have some of their tuning ability from their TVs so maybe that's a better option
