If you prioritize a larger field of view for immersive gaming and media experiences and are willing to invest in premium quality, the LG W-OLED could be your choice as it offers exceptional contrast and is well-suited for dark room viewing. However, for print photo editing or tasks requiring high brightness and good color accuracy, the KTC VA MiniLED stands out with its high static contrast ratio and excellent color volume. The KTC also offers a balance of good gaming performance and productivity. Consider the LG if you prefer ultra-wide and curved displays, whereas the KTC is more budget-friendly while still delivering versatile performance. Give Feedback

Notebook Check
Allen Ngo | March 2024
"The KTC M27T20 brings mini-LED and HDR1000 features to much more affordable price levels than before. It cuts some corners, however, and the settings require a lot of tuning for optimal colors and black levels."
