If you prioritize high-quality visuals with deep blacks and vibrant colors for HDR gaming and media, and you don't mind the higher cost, the Innocn 32Q1U with its OLED technology is a solid choice. However, if you are focused on a balance between cost, everyday productivity, and casual gaming, and you're looking for good performance without breaking the bank, the KTC H27T22 would suit your needs—especially considering its lower price, satisfactory color accuracy, and higher refresh rate for smoother visuals in fast-paced games. The tradeoff is that you won't get the same level of contrast and HDR performance as you would with the OLED. Give Feedback
