If you're looking for a larger, more immersive display and have a higher budget, the LG 38WN95C offers a wider screen with a unique aspect ratio that's great for multitasking and a better overall visual experience for media consumption. Despite its price, it doesn't excel in HDR content. On the other hand, the KTC H27T22 is much less expensive and still provides a good resolution for daily tasks, casual gaming, and digital photo editing, making it a cost-effective option if those are your primary uses. However, it might not be as satisfying for competitive gaming or high-end media experiences. Give Feedback
