If budget is a priority and you mainly engage in media consumption and productivity tasks, the Innocn 27M2U offers a high-quality display at a midrange price, though it's not the best for gaming due to its poor refresh rate and lack of variable refresh rate (VRR). Conversely, if you're a serious gamer willing to invest more, the KTC M27P20 Pro provides a better gaming experience with a good refresh rate and VRR support, which reduces screen tearing. It also excels in media consumption and productivity, matching the Innocn's performance in HDR viewing and color accuracy for photo editing. Both monitors provide excellent image clarity and HDR capability, catering well to users who value visual fidelity in their work and entertainment. Give Feedback

Forbes
Mark Sparrow | November 2022
"The Innocn 27MU2 screen isn’t built to Apple standards, but it’s robust enough for desktop use and surprisingly lightweight, considering its image quality. The stand is rock steady and adjustable, plus the screen can be wall mounted. There are plenty of input options plus the ability to display two sources on screen at the same time."

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."
