If your priority is a monitor for everyday productivity and digital photo editing on a budget, the KTC H27T22 is an affordable choice with a good resolution and an IPS panel, which typically offers good color accuracy and viewing angles. However, for a premium immersive gaming and media consumption experience, the LG 45GR95QE with its superior OLED panel provides deep blacks, high contrast, and a wide color gamut which is especially beneficial for HDR content, if you're ready to invest more. It also has a wider aspect ratio that can offer a more engaging experience but may not be as practical for traditional productivity tasks. Give Feedback

How the KTC H27T22 (IPS) and the LG 45GR95QE (W-OLED) compare to other monitors
"The KTC H27T22 is an excellent gaming monitor for the money thanks to its fully adjsutable stand, plethora of features and 1440p IPS panel with a wide color gamut, high peak brightness, quick response time and smooth VRR performance."
"The LG UltraGear 45GR95QE-B is a brilliant ultrawide gaming monitor that'll dominate your desk, and its 800R curve serves to trick the senses. It's ridiculously pricey, and 4K fans may notice the difference with this 4K panel, but its OLED capabilities and arsenal of features almost justify its price tag. Just make sure you've got decent PC specs and plenty of space for this brute before parting with any cash."
