If you're on a tighter budget and prioritize digital photo editing with accurate sRGB colors, the KTC H27T22 could serve you well, especially considering its lower cost. However, the LG 27GS95QE, with its OLED panel, offers exceptional contrast and performance for HDR gaming and competitive gaming, with very low response time and a high refresh rate. Keep in mind though, the LG isn't as well-suited for productivity or media consumption when compared to its excellent gaming capabilities. If cost is less of a concern and gaming, particularly HDR gaming, is a priority, the LG may be the better choice. Give Feedback
