If exceptional image clarity and higher resolution for tasks such as digital photo editing are essential to you, the Innocn 27M2V with its higher screen resolution may be worth the extra cost. However, if deep blacks and high contrast are more important for immersive gaming and media consumption, the KTC M27T20, with its superior contrast ratio at a lower price, might be the better option. The KTC M27T20 also provides an excellent gaming experience, especially in competitive settings. Keep in mind, though, the Innocn 27M2V has a slightly better refresh rate range for variable refresh rate support. Choose based on what qualities—resolution, contrast, or price—are most important for your use. Give Feedback

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."

"The KTC M27T20 brings mini-LED and HDR1000 features to much more affordable price levels than before. It cuts some corners, however, and the settings require a lot of tuning for optimal colors and black levels."
