If you prioritize a larger screen with higher resolution for clear images during productivity tasks or enjoy detailed digital photo editing, the KTC H27T22 is suitable. However, if competitive gaming is key for you, the ViewSonic XG2431 offers a higher refresh rate for smoother motion and includes features like strobing to reduce motion blur, which can be advantageous in fast-paced games. Both monitors are in the midrange price bracket but expect to pay a bit more for the KTC due to its larger, higher resolution display. Neither is ideal for HDR gaming or media consumption due to limited peak brightness and color volume. Give Feedback
