Choosing between the KTC M27P20 Pro (IPS MiniLED) and ViewSonic VX2776 2K OLED (W-OLED) depends on your priorities. If you're on a tighter budget but want a high-resolution 4K display for productivity, and great HDR gaming and media consumption, the KTC is an excellent option. On the other hand, if you prioritize supreme contrast and color depth for tasks like print photo editing and are willing to invest more, the ViewSonic's OLED panel is superior, although it has a lower screen resolution and is not ideal for productivity tasks. For competitive gaming, ViewSonic's OLED may be more responsive due to its faster total response time, but the KTC's decent refresh rate and rapid response still make it a viable option for casual to moderate gaming.

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."
