If you're on a tighter budget and primarily interested in competitive gaming, the KTC G27P6 monitor with a higher refresh rate and response time will be the better choice; however, it is not ideal for productivity due to its lower resolution and poor text clarity. On the other hand, the LG 27EQ850 offers a higher resolution which is beneficial for productivity and media consumption, and its wide color gamut makes it more suitable for photo editing, including print photo editing, but it has a lower refresh rate that isn't as well-suited for competitive gaming. Choose the KTC if gaming is your focus and budget is a concern, or the LG if you favor better image quality for creative work and media viewing. Give Feedback
