The KTC M27P20 Pro, with its MiniLED IPS panel, offers high brightness and color accuracy, making it great for HDR gaming and precise photo editing, while being more budget-friendly. Its smaller size and higher resolution provide clearer text for productivity. In contrast, the LG 45GR95QE-B, with its larger OLED screen, delivers infinite contrast and a wider aspect ratio, which enhances immersive gaming and media experiences, but costs more and might not be ideal for tasks requiring image clarity and color consistency. Consider your primary activities and budget to decide; for intense gaming and media, consider the LG, but for mixed-use and professional tasks, the KTC offers compelling value. Give Feedback

How the KTC M27P20 Pro (IPS MiniLED) and the LG 45GR95QE-B (W-OLED) compare to other monitors
"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."
