If you're looking for a budget-friendly monitor that offers good performance for casual gaming, everyday productivity, and photo editing, the KTC H27T22 is a solid choice. Its larger screen and high resolution are suitable for most tasks, though it lacks high-end features for HDR gaming and media. However, if you prioritize top-tier image quality, are into competitive gaming, or want excellent performance for HDR content and video editing, the Nubia RedMagic GM001J with its MiniLED technology, higher brightness, and better color accuracy is superior, provided you're willing to invest more.
