If you are a competitive gamer requiring top-notch response times and minimal ghosting, the Asus XB273U F with its excellent refresh rate and response performance will serve you well, even if it comes at a premium price. However, for those who prioritize image quality and high contrast for HDR gaming and media consumption, the KTC G27P6 with its OLED panel offers infinite contrast and true blacks, which might make it a more cost-effective choice despite its higher price than typical midrange options. The Asus shows strengths in color accuracy for tasks like digital photo editing, while the KTC’s superior contrast will be more noticeable in video content. For productivity, the Asus's text clarity could be more beneficial, but if budget considerations are paramount, the KTC’s significantly lower price may sway you, accepting some trade-offs in refresh rate and text clarity.
