If cost is a primary concern and you still want a solid gaming experience with OLED quality, the KTC G27P6 offers good value. For those who prioritize an immersive gaming and media experience with a larger, ultrawide screen, the MSI 45GS96QB will be a superior choice. The MSI also has benefits for digital and print photo editing due to its color gamut coverage. However, the KTC G27P6's smaller size might be preferred for those with limited space, plus it can handle casual gaming well. Remember, the MSI may offer more screen real estate, but it comes at a higher price point. Give Feedback
