If budget is a concern and you seek a balance between gaming and productivity, the KTC M27P20 Pro is an excellent choice with its high resolution and good color accuracy for photo editing. However, if you prioritize an immersive gaming and media experience and can invest more, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 offers superior contrast and color, plus a wider screen that's ideal for gaming and watching movies. Its refresh rate and response time are also better suited for competitive gaming, but its aspect ratio and text quality may not be as practical for traditional productivity tasks. 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."
