If you're on a budget and mainly into casual or even competitive gaming, the Gigabyte G24F-2 provides a good experience at a lower cost, though its smaller size and lower resolution may not deliver the sharpest images for productivity or media. Conversely, the KTC M27P20 Pro, with its higher resolution and superior color performance, is excellent for tasks that benefit from greater image clarity, such as photo editing, HDR video editing, and enjoying HDR content. The higher price tag also gets you a larger screen. However, if gaming is a priority, consider that the higher resolution may impact performance unless you have a high-end graphics setup.

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."
