If high-quality visuals for HDR gaming and media consumption are important to you, and you engage in digital photo editing, the Innocn 27M2V with superior contrast, brightness, and color performance would be a great option. However, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly monitor and are mainly focused on casual gaming, productivity, and non-HDR media consumption, the KTC H27T22 could satisfy your needs despite having lower peak brightness and not being suitable for HDR content. Keep in mind the Innocn 27M2V also offers a higher resolution, which can result in sharper images, making it more suitable if you prioritize image clarity and detailed visuals. Give Feedback

How the Innocn 27M2V (IPS MiniLED) and the KTC H27T22 (IPS) compare to other monitors
"Thanks to the wide color gamut, games and videos will look even more vibrant than the standard wide gamut displays (such as LG’s Nano IPS with 98% DCI-P3 and ~90% Adobe RGB, for instance), especially when it comes to blue, cyan and green shades. All in all, if you want a 27″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with a mini LED FALD backlight, the Innocn 27M2V is currently the best model available."
"The KTC H27T22 is an excellent gaming monitor for the money thanks to its fully adjsutable stand, plethora of features and 1440p IPS panel with a wide color gamut, high peak brightness, quick response time and smooth VRR performance."
