If you prioritize a high resolution for detailed visuals and top-notch color accuracy for tasks like photo editing, the KTC M27P20 Pro (IPS MiniLED) offers great image clarity and color performance at a lower cost. However, if you're a competitive gamer looking for the fastest response times and higher refresh rates for smoother gameplay, even if it means sacrificing some image quality and paying a premium, the LG 27GR95QL (W-OLED) would be a better fit. Keep in mind, though, the LG's lower resolution may not be as good for productivity tasks that benefit from more screen real estate. 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."
