If your focus is on high-detail productivity tasks and editing work that requires color accuracy, the KTC M27P20 Pro with its very good color gamut coverage and higher resolution is a strong choice. This monitor also offers good gaming performance, making it quite versatile. On the other hand, if you prioritize the immersive experience in gaming, with deep blacks and smooth motion, the LG 27GR95QE with its OLED technology and higher refresh rate will excel, especially in darker viewing environments. However, the LG's lower resolution might not be as optimal for detailed productivity tasks. Both are great for HDR content, but the LG might fall short in activities that demand consistent brightness across the screen. Choose the KTC for an all-rounder with a slight edge in editing and productivity, and the LG for a more gaming-focused experience with some tradeoff in brightness and text clarity. Give Feedback

TFT Central
Simon Baker | January 2023
"Gaming and HDR are the two target uses for this screen, and it does generally very well in both. For gaming there are good response times, a single overdrive mode experience for VRR, super low input lag and solid support for latest gen consoles too. The moderately high 160Hz refresh rate provides good motion clarity, and is a nice combination with the high 4K resolution that provides a sharp and crisp image."

"The LG 27GR95QE-B is a stellar display that makes 1440p again the PC gaming sweet spot due to its high 240Hz refresh rate and fantastic latency. However, its low overall brightness and lack of onboard settings keep it from being great."
