About this deal

A curved 34″ ultrawide screen with 3440 x 1440 resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. It’s based on a VA panel and has a 4000:1 contrast ratio and wide colour gamut, along with USB type-C connectivity A 42″ OLED display designed to be a monitor as opposed to a TV. Featuring an LG OLED panel with 4K resolution, 138Hz refresh rate, 0.1ms G2G response time and adaptive-sync. Also includes DisplayPort, HDMI 2.1 and USB type-C connections for PC use, and a tilt-adjustable stand (optional) The M27P10 Pro is based on an IPS-type panel from panel manufacturer AU Optronics, their AHVA or so-called “Fast IPS” technology. The screen has a quoted 3ms G2G response time spec. Referring to the OSD menu we believed this screen to also offer a motion blur reduction mode via the ‘MPRT’ setting, but this is not the case. We will cover that more later. This model has a 27″ screen size, 1440p resolution and 165Hz refresh rare like the H27T22 discussed above, but this time it is based on an HVA technology (VA-type) panel instead from CSOT. The HVA panel is curved, with a 1500R curvature and offers AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-sync Compatible certifications for VRR. In other specs there is a 3ms G2G response time, 4000:1 contrast ratio, 350 nits brightness, 178/178 viewing angles, 8-bit colour depth and an extended colour gamut covering ~120% sRGB.

For the best results, we recommend using the ‘Native’ mode and changing the gamma to 1.8 when using local dimming in SDR mode. With a built-in KVM switch you can easily control an extra device such as a laptop, another desktop, tablet, or a phone using only a single set of a keyboard and mouse. With a simple toggle in the OSD menu, you can seamlessly swap controls to your second device for ultimate multitasking. The IPS panel has wider viewing angles and more vibrant colors with ~170% sRGB gamut size, so it’s more suited for color-critical work, while the M27T20 has less blooming thanks to its higher native contrast ratio. Within the OSD menu are a few ‘Game Assist’ settings for timer, crosshair and FPS counter in case you find those useful, and there is also a blur reduction mode available on this model which was not provided on the Cooler Master GP27U. There are also a range of preset modes available for things like FPS and RTS too. Response Times and Motion Clarity DisplayPort 1.4, 1x USB type-C (DP alt mode and 90W power delivery) and 2x HDMI 2.1 video connectionsThe stand provides a full range of ergonomic adjustments with tilt, height, swivel and rotate functions. All of these are smooth in movement and generally easy to use, although the tilt adjustment is quite stiff to operate. There’s a very good range of adjustments available from the stand though. The panel remains stable with very little wobble on the stand as you move it around or use the OSD buttons.

We wanted to take this opportunity to introduce our audience to a display manufacturer who you may hear a lot more of in the coming years. KTC Technology (here-in shortened to “KTC”) are a well known manufacturer of display products in the Chinese market, ranging from tablets to TV’s, smart displays and monitors. They have their own line-up of KTC-branded products, but also supply monitors and technology to other vendors and global partners such as NEC, Samsung, ViewSonic, and many more in different product ranges. With overdrive turned off we had modest response times with 6.6ms G2G recorded, but free from any overshoot in this mode. The response times had poor refresh rate compliance though at 50%, showing they were not fast enough to keep up with the fairly high 160Hz when the overdrive is turned off. We moved up to the ‘low’ setting which had some decent improvements in motion clarity and reduced smearing on moving content. Response times had been improved now to 4.9ms G2G, and overshoot remained very low and was not visible during normal use and dynamic content. Moving up to the ‘Middle’ mode made the image a little sharper and response times had improved to 3.8ms G2G but you do get some moderate levels of overshoot, although these were what we’d consider “reasonable” in practice at this max refresh rate. There were some slight pale halos in some situations, and overall we didn’t really think there was much benefit over the ‘Low’ setting. KTC M27P20 Pro 27 Inch Mini LED Gaming Monitor , Fast IPS Panel, 3840x2160 UHD 160Hz , 1ms MPRT Response Time Additionally, the KTC M27T20 monitor has a high peak brightness of 500-nits in the SDR mode meaning that the screen can get more than bright enough even in well-lit rooms.

FAQs

Approximate diagonal size of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the diagonal is calculated from the width and height of the screen.

Colour accuracy of HDR Rec.2020 colours is very good overall, thanks to the particularly wide colour gamut covering a decent 85.0% of the Rec.2020 colour space and the reliable colour temp. We had an average dE of 1.2 if we ignore than 100% red, blue and green shades which was very good. Often even a higher peak luminance can be achieved under certain conditions. For example, when a smaller area/APL of the display is used for showing a bright object, when a bright object is displayed for a short time, etc.By offering professionally color calibrated displays, KTC is able to provide a more accurate and reliable viewing experience for its customers, particularly in applications where color accuracy is critical, such as in photography, video editing, and graphic design. It also helps to ensure that different devices, such as monitors and laptops, are displaying colors consistently, which can be important for tasks such as color proofing and collaboration.

Ja eben, also dann bitte... das hier waren Meinungen, nicht Fakten. Also ich hab versucht, mit fairen Worten, so pauschale Aussagen auf sachlicher Ebene anzugreifen.

Another issue is that when HDR is enabled, the monitor is limited to 144Hz, down from the maximum 165Hz. Since the difference between 144Hz and 165Hz is not noticeable in real use, we recommend just running the monitor at 144Hz. We first of all tested the screen at its maximum 160Hz fixed refresh rate. As a reminder this is only available as a fixed refresh rate, you can’t use the full 160Hz when using adaptive-sync VRR. Through a series of visual tests and measurements we analysed the response time and motion performance in each of the 4 overdrive modes. Activating MPRT mode seemed to boost the screen brightness a small amount by about 20 nits, but had no visible difference to motion clarity at all. You can’t use this “mode” (we can barely call it a mode) when VRR is active either, but it seems entirely pointless on the sample we are testing. As discussed in our detailed article about Response Time Testing – Pitfalls, Improvements and Updating Our Methodologywe are using an improved and more accurate method for capturing G2G response times and overshoot, based on figures that are more reflective to what you see visually on the screen in real-World usage. Our article linked above talks through why this is better and how we arrived at this improved method in much more detail.
