If you prioritize budget and want a solid all-around monitor for general use including casual gaming, digital photo editing, and productivity, the Gigabyte M27Q-X (IPS) is an excellent choice, offering great versatility without breaking the bank. On the other hand, if you're open to spending more for top-notch contrast and HDR performance, particularly for HDR gaming and media consumption, the KTC G27P6 (W-OLED) stands out. It’s less suited for tasks that require accurate color representation, like print photo editing, due to its limitations in certain color spaces and overall image clarity. For competitive gaming, both monitors offer high refresh rates, but text quality and image clarity may be crisper on the Gigabyte. Give Feedback

"The company delivers again with the Gigabyte M27Q X, a 1440p monitor that comes equipped with just about everything you want and need from a gaming monitor. It may not be a 4K panel, but it more than makes up for its lower resolution in performance, bringing a whopping 240Hz refresh rate and a host of unusual features, including an onboard KVM and plenty of ports. It's a great performer, though low brightness levels and a so-so contrast ratio keep it short of top marks."
