If budget is a major consideration and your primary activities include casual gaming and general productivity, the AOC 24G2SPU is an affordable choice that covers those needs adequately. However, if you're willing to invest more for significantly better image quality, HDR gaming, and media consumption, as well as tasks that require precise colors such as photo editing, the KTC M27P20 Pro offers a higher resolution, superior brightness, a wider color gamut, and better overall performance for those advanced uses. The additional investment in the KTC provides a more future-proof experience with crisper text and images due to its higher pixels per inch. Give Feedback

TFT Central
Simon Baker | January 2023
"Gaming and HDR are the two target uses for this screen, and it does generally very well in both. For gaming there are good response times, a single overdrive mode experience for VRR, super low input lag and solid support for latest gen consoles too. The moderately high 160Hz refresh rate provides good motion clarity, and is a nice combination with the high 4K resolution that provides a sharp and crisp image."
