The KTC M27P20 Pro offers superior image clarity, higher resolution, and better color accuracy, making it well-suited for professional photo editing and HDR gaming. If those aspects are important to you and you're willing to invest in a higher-priced monitor, it's a strong choice. On the other hand, the ViewSonic XG2431 has a much lower price and higher refresh rate, which is ideal for competitive gaming where fast response time and fluid motion are crucial, but its lower resolution and color performance make it less optimal for productivity tasks and media consumption.

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."
