How the KTC M27P20 Pro (IPS MiniLED) and the Nubia RedMagic GM001J (IPS MiniLED) 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."
"The Redmagic GM001J is one of the best mini LED gaming monitors currently available thanks to its exceptional color gamut, fast response time and 1152-zone FALD."
