If you prioritize immersive gaming with deep blacks and fast response, despite a higher price, the Corsair 45WQHD240 with its OLED technology is suitable, especially with its wider screen and high refresh rate. However, it falls short in productivity and text clarity. The KTC M27P20 Pro, while less pricey and smaller in size, offers excellent digital photo and HDR video editing capabilities with high pixel density, better suited for detailed work and productivity. It's also great for media consumption. Between these two, the Corsair leans towards immersive gaming experiences while the KTC is versatile for both work and play. Give Feedback

How the Corsair 45WQHD240 (W-OLED) and the KTC M27P20 Pro (IPS MiniLED) compare to other monitors
"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."
