If you prioritize an immersive experience for HDR gaming and media with exceptional contrast and a very wide display, the Gigabyte CO49DQ is a strong choice despite its higher price. However, for versatile use including digital photo and HDR video editing, with good image clarity and a higher resolution on a traditional aspect ratio screen, the KTC M27P20 Pro may better suit your needs at a more affordable price. The larger Gigabyte screen is less suited for productivity due to its size and curvature, while the KTC offers a more conventional setup that's excellent for both work and entertainment.

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."
