If high-quality color accuracy and performance in HDR video editing are important to you, the KTC M27P20 Pro (IPS MiniLED) is a strong option that won't break the bank and also excels in productivity tasks. However, if you're an enthusiast seeking the ultimate immersive gaming experience, the wider and faster Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 with its impeccable contrast might be worth the extra investment, despite not being as well-suited for productivity due to its ultra-wide aspect ratio. Keep in mind that the Samsung's glossy screen might reflect more light, which can be distracting in well-lit environments, compared to the KTC's matte finish. 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."
