If you prioritize high resolution and HDR content for gaming and media consumption, the KTC M27P20 Pro with its superior MiniLED panel and better color performance makes a compelling choice despite its higher price.

"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."
