If you prioritize top-notch gaming performance with extremely high refresh rates and excellent contrast, and if HDR gaming and media consumption are important to you, the Corsair Xeneon 27QHD240 (W-OLED) is a strong option, albeit at a premium price. However, its overall brightness is poor, which might not be ideal for well-lit environments or if you’re sensitive to display brightness. On the other hand, the KTC H27T22 (IPS) offers good color accuracy for digital photo editing and better value for money, but its lower refresh rate and contrast make it less suitable for competitive gaming or for enjoying HDR content.
