If you prioritize high contrast and vibrant colors for HDR gaming and media consumption, the KTC G27P6 with its OLED panel will excel, especially where deep blacks are crucial. This monitor is also more suitable for digital photo editing. On the other hand, the ViewSonic XG321UG, while more expensive, offers a larger screen with higher resolution which is better for productivity and the finer details in digital print photo editing. It also has a higher brightness capability, beneficial for environments with lots of ambient light. However, for competitive gaming, the KTC might be preferable due to its very good refresh rate and minimal ghosting. Give Feedback
