KTC 27 Inch Gaming Monitor 180Hz, Full HD 1920x1080 Fast IPS Computer Monitor, DP 1.4 & HDMI 2.1 Ports 1Ms FreeSync Frameless PC Gamer Monitor, HDR, VESA Mount, H27F22

I am coming from an IPS Predator panel. I didn't chose to buy this screen because of picture quality but because I wanted a higher resolution. Coming from 1080P, so this one was within my price range. Also wanted HDR whereas my last panel didn't support it. I've been using this one for a day and a half and I must say it's eye opening what I was missing out on. Also a lot of misconception regarding miniled panels. The picture quality is just as good and even BETTER than the predator it replaced. The 180hz refresh rate is less than the 240hz it replaced but I can't notice any difference, no input lag or ghosting at all. Smooth and clear. The brightness of this screen with HDR enabled is INSANE, you just don't know what you are missing until you have tried true HDR. The colors in SDR isn't as good as my IPS panel but once you turn on HDR the colors are better than my predator monitor and insanely bright. If you find it too bright you can turn it down to whatever level pleases you. The 1152 lighting zones give this miniled a HUGE bonus to darks and bright images. Meaning very deep blacks and bright brights! I have a fairly new OLED TV and I can't see any difference between the two technologies. The color options in HDR is greyed out so you can't adjust it but I can see why this is the case. It doesn't need any adjustment at all... The colors are fantastic in HDR. To keep all the goodness of HDR not just while gaming you can turn it on for windows operating system as well. I turned it on for everything. I really did not understand what a huge difference HDR makes. Ran some identifying software Aida, and says it's putting out over 1500 knits brightness in HDR. Games just look 100% better with HDR it's no contest. I'll never go back to non HDR viewing. 1440P is the sweet spot for gaming and navigating windows. Even when HDR is on you can adjust the brightness to your liking. You will have to make certain adjustments for this panel in terms of contrast but I made all the changes within the first few minutes. Also has game setting for boosting smoothness but it's refresh rate of 180 hz is more than good enough by itself. Well done KTC for getting consumers what they want. No frills monitor and great quality!

I want to start off by saying I wish the entire thing was white or they offered a completely white variant then I would be 100% happy but this monitor is by far the best value and quality you can get for the price 100%. Its hdr is INCREDIBLE it get super bright brights and super dark darks. The visual clarity is incredible and this is my first time using a monitor with such a high refresh rate and I can never go back to lower refresh rates. This is really good for games I use my ps5 with it and it actually matches the ps5 pros black and white setup I guess but I still wish it was all white but I was able to make an exception because this monitor has everythint to take advantage of the full power of ps5 pro minus not being 8k but most games dont even support that yet either way. It was pick this amazing monitor for the price or spend double if nit tripple for the oleds that night not even have some of the features this one has and what I will say is that you will definitely be happy with this. The picture is so gorgeous deapite not being oled colors are so vibrant and you can easily adjust colors and other settings easily the ui for the settings doesnt feel like crap or bad to use its so easy. This is a outstanding pickup for the price and after returning a bunch of other monitors and reviewing others this is hands down imo the best u can get at 500 dollars or less. I got it when it was on sale and so I paid 400 before tax and it was so worth it discount or not.

I got this for $279 during Prime Day, so far, I'm exceptionally happy with it. I had it running in DCI-P3, there is very slight color shifting on this monitor more so than my other non-OLED monitor, the Samsung G7 Faker Edition. I’ve found that keeping the panel on native, black level at 50 and OD setting on off or dynamic and this issue is pretty much resolved. The OD settings leave a lot to be desired, the only manageable ones I've come across is dynamic and off, all of the others cause a degree of blurring or overshoot-undershoot in the image response times.Initial Pros and Cons:Pros:-Everything works as intended, no issues out of the box, do dead pixels, backlight bleed, etc., looks great.-Stand is actually fairly decent, for the price point.-Crystal clear image, the AG used is fantastic, I have 34GS95QE, AW3225QF and Samsung G7 Faker Edition, and in many ways, I prefer the image quality of this monitor, great flexible gaming capabilities.-Tremendous number of settings, what I've found that works the best, Brightness 38, contrast 50, preset, user, color natural, response - dynamic, professional - screen native, blue light at 25%, local dimming set to auto, this IMO, is the best you can get this monitor at settings wise.HDMI upscales PS4 Pro and Xbox Series X to 4K 60hz and the latter also at 1440P 120hz.-Screen uniformity, exceptional.-Has a more natural look than OLEDs due to their constant blue light push, it's the technology, this monitor in the right settings, reminds me of a CRT, in some ways.-Recommend setting the black equalizer to 50, anything lower introduces black crush, higher image washout, at 50, it helps in the overall response times, look and feel, had this set to zero and the image was ghosting a lot when scrolling, panning.-M27T6 is significantly better than AOC's offering, the (Q27G40XMN) which I bought and returned from a different seller, IMO, the two shouldn't even be considered comparable. That monitor has two big issues, DP 1.2 and you can’t defeat the brightness settings when using local dimming, it locks to 100% brightness.-Able to do full 10-bit at 180hz over DP 1.4 connection.Cons:-Image shifting noticeable, used to OLEDs, instant response times, it's better than most, though still noticeable.-local dimming greatly reduces brightness, though you can easily up the brightness to offset this issue.-DCI-P3 and BT. 2020 look great, for very specific games-apps, otherwise, your much better off with screen native, it provides a much more natural look.-Over Drive settings introduce a lot of panel response time issues, blurring and overshooting, this monitor works better after it's been on for 15 minutes or so, it needs to warm up, literally. I’ve found off or dynamic OD settings work the best.-HDR on Vesa IMO looks the best, in FPS type of games, though strategy games and such, AOE, CIV, etc., Game HDR looks more natural, you're able to change a lot of settings with HDR, which most monitors lock you out of, don't believe this unit is truly capable of the specs, HDR-1400 etc., though played a few games last night, IMO, they looked pretty good in HDR. NBA 2k25, Oblivion, Baldur's Gate 3 and others look tremendously good with HDR enabled, this monitor does a great job with 1152 dimming zones and creating a colorful and detailed HDR image for gaming or even media content, such as Netflix.-Dirty screen effect when shifting your sight from side to side, nothing major, though I've noticed it more than I would prefer, there is an ever so slight grainy effect, only noticeable in certain situations.For the price and what's offered, I can't recommend it enough!
