If you prioritize high-resolution work and productivity with crisp text, the KTC M27P20 Pro with its 4K display might be preferable, especially if budget is a consideration; however, if you are a serious gamer or enjoy vibrant media consumption with the best possible contrast and color performance, then investing more in the MSI MPG 271QRX with its QD-OLED panel and higher refresh rate will provide a superior gaming and viewing experience. The KTC also provides solid HDR performance for both gaming and media, but the MSI, with its OLED technology, offers exceptional contrast that enhances HDR content even without specific HDR peak brightness figures available.

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."
