If budget is a primary concern and you engage in a mix of gaming, productivity, and media consumption, the KTC M27T20's lower price with a high contrast ratio and robust brightness makes it a solid choice. However, the LG 27GR95QL offers exceptional color depth and contrast, making it ideal for demanding gamers who prioritize visual fidelity and are willing to invest more. The LG's faster response time and wider refresh rate range benefit competitive gaming but note its overall brightness is lower, which may affect viewing in very bright rooms. Give Feedback
