If deep blacks and high contrast for immersive HDR gaming and media are your priority, and you're willing to pay more, the KTC G27P6 with its OLED panel is an excellent choice. However, if you're looking for a monitor that offers good image clarity for productivity and is easier on the wallet, the LG DualUp 28MQ780 would be a better fit, despite its limitations in refresh rate for gaming and lower contrast for HDR content. Keep in mind the LG's unconventional aspect ratio, which can be great for multitasking but may not suit all users. Give Feedback
