If cost is a significant factor and you're looking for deep blacks and high contrast for immersive HDR gaming and media, the KTC G27P6 with its OLED panel is a compelling choice. However, if you're looking for a larger screen with higher resolution for productivity tasks and crisp text for media consumption, despite its higher price, the LG 32GQ950 offers a sharper image and more screen real estate. The LG's IPS panel might not match the KTC's contrast but provides good color accuracy for tasks like photo editing. For fast-paced competitive gaming, the OLED's superior response time provides a smoother experience, though the LG isn't far behind and has a variable refresh range accommodating less intense gaming needs. Keep in mind, the OLED panel might be prone to permanent image retention, which can be a concern if displaying static images for extended periods, an issue the LG's LED IPS panel doesn't share.
