If you prioritize a sharper image and higher resolution, the KTC M27P20 Pro with its 4K display may suit you. It’s also great for digital photo editing with accurate colors. However, if you seek an immersive gaming and media experience, the MSI MAG 341CQP's ultrawide screen and superior contrast would be better, though its resolution is slightly lower. The MSI's OLED technology provides deeper blacks, making it excellent for HDR content, but its wider format might not be as practical for productivity tasks as the KTC's more standard aspect ratio. The KTC's high brightness levels are a plus for brightly lit rooms, while the MSI excels in dark room viewing. 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."
