If you're prioritizing a large, immersive display with exceptional contrast and color depth for a premium gaming and HDR video editing experience, the Acer Predator X45 would be an excellent choice, despite the higher price. However, if you're looking for a monitor that offers great overall performance for various uses like casual gaming, productivity, and media consumption at a more affordable price, the KTC M27T20 would be a better fit. The KTC also provides strong performance in print photo editing, whereas the Acer's high refresh rate and low response time make it better suited for competitive gaming. 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."
