If you're a competitive gamer or deeply value a high-quality visual experience for HDR gaming and media consumption, the Gigabyte FO27Q3 with its superior contrast, color, and low response time is a strong choice. However, its text clarity is poorer than the KTC H27T22, which could be important for productivity tasks. The KTC, conversely, offers good performance at a lower price, suitable for casual gaming and general use, but it won't match the Gigabyte's performance for high-end gaming or advanced color work like photo editing. Consider your primary use – for top-tier gaming and media, Gigabyte excels; for general use and cost-effectiveness, the KTC is sufficient. Give Feedback
