If budget is a concern and you mainly engage in casual gaming or productivity tasks, the KTC H27T22 with its IPS panel would offer good color accuracy and wide viewing angles. However, if you're willing to invest more for an immersive experience in gaming and media consumption, the ViewSonic XG341C-2K's larger screen and higher contrast ratio with a VA Mini LED panel would provide deeper blacks and a more enveloping experience. Bear in mind, the ViewSonic's ultrawide aspect ratio might not be as versatile for all types of productivity work, but it excels in providing an expansive field of view for gaming and watching videos.
