If you're after a monitor for high-quality HDR gaming and media consumption, the Innocn 32M2V with its MiniLED panel and higher brightness will be a better choice, although it comes at a higher price. Its larger, sharper screen is also more suitable for digital photo editing. On the other hand, the KTC H27T22 offers good competitive gaming performance at a lower resolution and is less expensive, but it won't deliver the same level of image clarity and is not suitable for HDR content. Consider the Innocn if image quality is a priority and budget is flexible, or the KTC for cost-effective gaming and general use. Give Feedback
