If you prioritize exceptional performance in productivity and media consumption with very good capabilities for HDR gaming, consider the Innocn 27M2V; it offers great image clarity and brightness. However, the KTC M27P20 Pro, while often less expensive, provides the best contrast making it outstanding for digital and print photo editing, as well as HDR video editing, with a color performance that's highly suitable for both gaming and media consumption. Both are similar in size and resolution, but if cost savings are important and you want a monitor that excels in professional color work alongside general use, the KTC M27P20 Pro may be the more balanced choice.

Display Ninja
Rob Shafer | January 2024
"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."

"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."
