Awesome, thanks for reviewing this company. Both are great displays.

[@ArminSteiner]

looking for a new monitor but for photo editing and checked the 27T20 out unfortunately all channels talk about gaming (of course since it is a gaming monitor) but how is it for photo editing? Can you shed some light on that I would really appreciate it.

[@C0BEX]

I would love to see the response times with local dimming ON actually measured. Also the color deltas. Claimed factory calibration is one thing, real measurements are something else and I am saying this as an owner of the 27". Also I believe you didn't mention it can do MPRT, which reduces brightness in half but is not a big deal since it has extremely high brightness anyway. The MPRT setting randomly gets switched off in the OSD at least on my unit on the latest firmware. There is also a minor issue that if you change brightness, everytime you wake up the screen from standby, it will display the full brightness for like a second or two and only after that dim down. The VA panel is also surely not as fast or as greatly tuned as the ones on Samsung monitors and it does have a bit of black smearing, but I would say still better than most other VAs.

[@CheapBastard1988]

2:56 Pixel refresher doesn't necessarily help it last longer or protect against burn-in. It just wears down the non worn down pixels more evenly with the worn down pixels.

Great monitor indeed, I'm still using a 60Hz 1378x768 on my laptop 😬and for my work a 27" 1080p 60Hz monitor lol, so this is way ahead of my range. You are doing even greater than this monitors

[@facebookmakesmesick]

Juat need this for xbox. Will it work? I dont see whybit wouldn't

[@TheGameBench]

I wish I could find a mini-LED ultra-wide monitor like the Samsung G9... just in a 34 inch package. Everyone is doing OLED and I don't want an OLED due to the sub pixel layout as well as burn in issues. Mini-LED is barely a compromise, with no burn in and a normal sub pixel layout.

[@holzvvrm7718]

Word. I almost gave up on UW because I had a 29" 1080p, then I got a 34" 1440p one at work and it's honestly the perfect resolution and size for a monitor imo. The panel is not that great though (100hz VA), I would love if I could get one with miniLED

[@TheGameBench]

@@holzvvrm7718 Yeah, I've been using an Acer Predator (120Hz). It's been a great monitor, but it seems like it might be going out and I feel like there's nothing that's a real upgrade that would really work for me. I have to wonder if Samsung hasn't given us something because they feel like people should just buy the G8 OLED. Here's to hoping... but I feel like I'm going to have to just get another IPS. :/

[@MD-se8ft]

What's cheap about a 27 inch 1440p monitor that cost 600 dollars?

[@ramjuan86]

I think because of the mini led

[@Indo6627]

The mini LED witch drasticly changes how your games look ridiculously better i would have bought one when i bought my monitor but they where so much more at the time.

[@ludvigafklercker7722]

Because it is a legitimate hdr monitor with high refresh rate, and fast g2g response time. If you don't care about hdr, then you would be spending $200 more or so than you need to in order to get a nice monitor. if you do care about hdr, you're spending about half or less than you bormally would. It's honestly a very great value-IF you care about hdr.

[@Island_Bag]

Everything else is nearly 1000+. Asus charges more than 1000$ for these specs

[@Island_Bag]

And the prices is 490$ not 600

[@Majonez616]

Can we get 4K OLED on something smaller than 42 inches? I have had a 4K IPS in 24" for years now, but I'm looking for something with HDR (at least 1000 nits) around the size of 27, maybe 32 inches. Don't want a TV set on my desk. And a upgrade from the 60Hz would be nice as well. Why not 1440p, you ask? I have OCD when it comes to seeing individual pixels. That's why I already have 4K on 24".

[@djbpresents9584]

[@FXPC_Phoenix92471]

Are there any videos demonstrating the KVM feature, it must come with special cables but then how do you plug in the keyboard and mouse if they're USB?

[@psychomantys902]

KVM is built into the monitor, so keyboard and mouse goes into the monitor and when you connect another device liek a macbook via usb-c / other display connector you switch to that input and the keyboard and mouse work on that device.

[@PaperReaper]

Late reply but I have one of these. You need the KB and mouse in the monitor and a usb b cable going from your pc/laptop or whatever to the monitor. If you use the type c port for the connection, you don't have to use the uplink as everything is handled via type-c.

[@IceBerg0]

More expensive than the LG Oled C2

[@TheRxxistance]

because this is a monitor, no a TV.

[@SoyDavidYT]

I got the KTC H27T22 and I couldn't be more happy with it I got it for a ridiculous price 223.99 dollars and is amazing for what it offer 1440p 165hz IPS display, I've been on a 1080p 60hz for years so the upgrade really hit me hard on my face 🤯

[@jayr.1523]

Do I have to update the firmware right away like the ROG swift PG43UQ (halfbaked product)

[@donovan6320]

The answer is yes. I would make sure the firmware is updated mainly because on the original firmware some of the stock settings for the 27in panel are locked out if other settings are enabled and they were working on enabling them and dealing with some of the bugs doing so created.

[@Gradzik1441]

[@elguaho]

have you ever faced such a problem?The monitor sometimes does not recognize my MacBook via Type-C connection after sleep. The only way to make monitor work is to unpower the monitor. Are there any options to fix this?

[@daveyoung2056]

I’m looking for a triple monitor setup for Microsoft flight simm, what do you people think about this ?

[@partytranimal6293]

If you're talking about the KTC monitor then I think it's a decent pick simply for the brightness. I don't think flight sim would really benefit from local dimming given most of your flight time will be during the day, but anything besides edge lit would be great. You also don't really need to worry about lightning fast response time given most planes already feel a bit sluggish. Your biggest bottleneck will be your PC. Triple 1440p isn't the easiest for most computers to handle. A stable 60 is your best minimum target in the event of any frame drops. It's more CPU bound than GPU so if you're lacking on upgrading an older or weaker CPU in favor of a Newer GPU, I'd strongly advise investing in stronger brains over stronger brawn. Finally, I'd suggest 32gb of RAM over 16 because 16 is becoming the new industry minimum. Depending on the age of your motherboard, I'd recommend picking up a 4×8 kit of DDR4 at 3600 speed or a 2×16 kit of DDR5 at 5600 speed. Happy flying, captain

[@shadow19121]

I see a lot of complaints about a monitor using recently released technology for half the price they normally go for. yeah, it's still expensive, but if you can find something better for less than buy that.

[@joeymadden7456]

Matte finish?? 😢

[@sushai1742]

yup im disappointed too

[@clonblurmin8194]

No matter what I do, I can't get the KTC M27T20 to look good in HDR with my PS5. HDR is gorgeous on PC with this monitor, but when I use it with my PS5, all of the colors are washed out, and lack luminance. Even white text on the home screen does not have the same punch that it has in SDR mode.

[@BurningMoreXP]

The second monitor has a problem for me… that it’s not HDMI 2.1 .. if it had that I would have already bought it by now.

[@jamesw657]

But you don't need HDMI 2.1 for a 1440p monitor. Even if you are connecting it to a console, HDMI 2.0 can still do 1440p/165hz no problem, so why would you even need 2.1 when it literally serves zero benefit? HDMI 2.0 can do everything on this monitor that 2.1 could do.

[@Aurummorituri]

This KTC is rarely a better price than the Asus version and has half-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports. Junk. Just buy the Asus.

[@Umi_2024]

sucks its not fully glossy like the LG 42 tvs, looks washed out a bit because of this.

[@spirosm]

What about VRR + Local Dimming (in HDR & SDR) does it work nicely ?? Because there have been some rumors that you might notice flickering in bright areas or objects ...

[@Daniel-xj3nm]

I've been eyeing the M27T20 (looking for a "modestly" priced HDR monitor with no burn-in concerns), and a firmware update from the spring fixes that VRR issue. However, there are still inconsistent complaints and praise with this and other 27" mini-LED panels, so I may wait until refreshed models come out next year before I pick anything up.

[@spirosm]

@@Daniel-xj3nm I totally understand what you mean but i am a tinker so i like to play around with settings as long as the monitor works as intended (with no or very little flickering for example) Certainly there will be better mini led monitors in around one year but i cannot wait for so long .. Also after checking the Mini Led technology , i cannot go back to the simple LED or LCD monitors anymore. (it feels like a waste of money right now)

"...and your wallet is gonna especially love" ..what? How would anyone's wallet love them for spending $600 or $1200 on a monitor? Edit: Reviews for the 1440p make it laughable, 4+5 star reviews don't even make up 60%, 1+2 star reviews make up nearly 30%.

[@boykitsune]

Okay, so it wasn't just me who was doubting the common sense of this monitor lol (also I'm adding this just bc, but anyways: I mean for a screen in general without even taking into consideration the specs because with $1200 you could build a pc with all the most current gen parts)

[@TheGameBench]

I'm guessing you haven't done a lot of shopping for monitors lately. A 4K 42" OLED for $1,200 is a bargain. If you think this is expensive, then OLED or mini-LED just aren't in your price range regardless, because they are objectively a good value in those categories. Sound LCD panels are where you should be looking.

[@sorrai]

What, did you think you were gonna get a 4K 138Hz OLED display for *cheap?* This is cheap in comparison to other products like it, but it will still cost you a pretty penny.

[@sorenvitarelli]

@@TheGameBenchyou can get the 42” LG C2 for $800. This isn’t even a bargain compared to other OLED monitors.

@@TheGameBench Read the title of the video, it says affordable gaming monitors, if it mentioned affordable high-end/4k oled gaming monitors, sure, but that's not the title. Although even if "high end" was added, these monitors would still be questionable looking at reviews, 4k one only has 1 review so can't really say much about it, but the 1440p one has 32 reviews, 4+5 star reviews don't even make up 60% of the reviews, 11% 1 star and 17% 2 star.

As an owner of this monitor I absolutely love it. With that being said, this video is a flat out lie torwards the end. NO, this does not support VRR. Only a monitor with HDMI 2.1 capable ports can handle variable refresh rate. I still absolute love this monitor though. Some of the most beautiful and vibrant displays @1440p I’ve ever seen with that local dimming. At only 500 bucks this thing is an absolute steal! And yes, gaming on a ps5 is the perfect middle ground. Still getting awesome performance while games still look crisp and clear.

[@jamesw657]

Well that's not true since VRR has been around since before HDMI 2.1 was a thing. Sure, if you want VRR on one of the newer consoles you'll need 2.1, but the Xbox series X for example had VRR and only had HDMI 2.0. You could also get VRR on PCs with the 20-series cards that didn't have 2.1 either.

You can fix it in sdr with calibration but not in hdr. -Displayport is bugged and the monitor is reported as hdr400, the image is mess. Wrong gamma, wrong brightness, wrong colors. -Factory calibration is a joke, minor issue in sdr IF you own a calibration device. Huge one in hdr as you cant fully calibrate and every option in the menu is locked -Eu firmware has very visible color banding in hdmi. Dp is 10bit but bugged. -Tech support is next to non existant.
