sorted byI ended up buying both and I stuck with the MSI as the blacks and media just seems to be a lot nicer to view. I think the Dell needs calibrating both were from standard settings apart from changing to 165Htz. Obviously there is a price difference of around £100 currently.
... a few more videos to come including Overwatch 2, Horizon Dawn, Spiderman and Forza Horizon videos using similar set up
Hope it helps someone
Having had both of them side by side for a few days I must say my heart went with the MSI. Saying that .. before I had the MSI the Dell did look really nice too! But when I got the MSI I could see the difference especially in Dark Scenes the colours lift more on the MSI (IMO) and the UI for tweaking the monitor is a lot better compared to the one Dell gives you. You can really fine tune the MSI. There's 2 lots of software for the MSI monitor called 'GamingIntelligence' and 'MSI Centre' both of which offer different controls. The Dell AFAIK just has Dell Display Manager which does offer some things too but the MSI software is very nice to use.
One thing the Dell has is a very good stand! It is a lot nicer to use and the tilting functions are a lot nicer. The MSI lacks the same movement as the Dell but IMO the image quality is slightly better on the MSI. One thing to note though 144hz is not showing available using a Display Port cable on the MSI! Been reading up on this but seems to be a known issue on some resolutions.
Overall both monitors look and feel premium and either/or will not disappoint. At this price point the Dell is a very good choice

Hope it helps (edited)
