If you prioritize a high contrast ratio and deep blacks for a more immersive experience in HDR gaming and media consumption, the ViewSonic VX2776 2K OLED is a strong choice, but it comes at a premium price and its brightness is not optimal for very well-lit environments. The KTC M27T20 (VA MiniLED), on the other hand, offers a great balance of performance with better brightness at a relatively lower cost, making it suitable for a variety of uses including casual gaming and productivity. However, it may not match the OLED in terms of color depth and perfect blacks. If competitive gaming is a priority, the superior response time of the ViewSonic might be more attractive, despite the higher price. Give Feedback
