If you are looking for an excellent gaming and media consumption experience without spending as much, the KTC M27P20 Pro is a solid choice with great color performance and a high peak brightness for HDR content. However, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 offers superior contrast and image clarity with its OLED technology, which can significantly enhance immersive gaming and movie watching. This monitor is also wider, offering a more expansive view, but it comes at a premium price. The KTC's productivity performance is deemed higher, so if tasks like digital photo editing are a priority alongside cost concerns, this might tip the scales in its favor. 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."
