If high-quality image detail for productivity and vivid colors for HDR video editing are priorities, and you're willing to invest more, the LG 32EP950 with its Inkjet OLED panel offers unparalleled contrast and color depth. However, if you're looking for a monitor that is strong for both casual and competitive gaming, as well as excellent for productivity and HDR gaming, the KTC M27P20 Pro is the more cost-effective option that still delivers very good overall performance, though its peak brightness is higher, which is crucial for HDR content. The KTC also offers a higher refresh rate beneficial for gaming, while the LG provides better text quality and is more suitable for color-critical print photo editing. Give Feedback

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."

"This screen is aimed at professional users, content creation and HDR video production. The OLED panel offers really great picture quality with bright, vivid colours, true deep blacks and infinite contrast ratio for SDR and HDR. The semi-glossy screen coating does add to the picture quality and feel of the screen as well."
