If you prioritize higher resolution for sharper images and more screen real estate for multitasking, the LG 32UN650 could suit your needs for productivity and media consumption despite its higher price. However, the KTC H27T22 would be suitable for casual and competitive gaming due to its higher refresh rate, and it performs well in digital photo editing. Keep in mind, neither monitor is particularly well-suited for HDR gaming or media. If cost is a major concern and you mainly focus on gaming and general use, the KTC H27T22 offers good functionality at a more affordable price. Give Feedback
