If you prioritize competitive gaming and a higher refresh rate, the KTC G27P6 could be suitable as it offers good performance in fast-paced games but has limitations in brightness and color when compared to the Philips 34M2C8600. On the other hand, if you are into HDR gaming, media consumption, or any creative work like digital or print photo editing, the Philips, with its wider screen and better color accuracy, contrast, and brightness, would be worth considering despite its lower refresh rate which may not perform as well in competitive gaming environments.
