If you're into competitive gaming, the KTC G27P6 with its very good refresh rate and faster response time may serve you better, while also being lighter on the wallet. However, if you enjoy media consumption and working with photos, the larger Samsung S43CG70 may appeal due to its higher resolution and larger screen, which enhances image clarity and text quality, though it comes at a premium price. Neither monitor is ideal for casual gaming or general productivity, but if HDR gaming and media are priorities, the KTC's superior contrast offers an advantage. Give Feedback
