KTC H27T22 UPDATE: Some people are receiving a different version of the H27T22 that's using a different panel (from Innolux vs the original by AUO). KTC confirmed to me that the H27T22 now comes with either of these two panels, both versions coming in the same brown box. I don't know yet how the new version performs, so my review and the S-tier ranking only apply to the original AUO version! I urged them to choose a different name for the new Innolux version.

Would like to know where you would place my LG 27gp850-b?

[Socreative]

I actually bought the ktc h27t22 last year after your review and I'm super happy with it. For 250€ it's an excellent monitor, especially compared to the other 1440p monitor prices around that time

I recommend you to review the Koorui GP01 that a new monitor from them that is 24 inch QHD. 165hz and nano fast IPS it's hovering between 199 and 250 USD

I got the alienware one because of you, there was a deal going on and i couldnt refuse. Overall I'm very happy going from 1080p to 1440p and the thin bezels makes it look very modern, now that i like higher res im also curious about 4k.

The new Dell G2724D and Alienware 2724DM are pretty excellent newer gen replacements for the LG 27 GN-GL-GP850/83A class of monitors. Would love to see you review them should you have the opportunity.

A couple of years ago, I bought the Optix G241 after I saw your video because it checked pretty much all the boxes I had and I liked the Color Performance and Contrast. To this day, I'm still incredibly pleased with it but I am entertaining the idea of moving up to 1440p but I just really want a 1440p version of the G241. Lol. Which of these perform the closest to it in terms of colors?

[RazorMacTavish]

You can't even buy these monitors (Gigabyte S-Tier, MSI A-Tier or LG A-Tier) in Germany... I thought you are german? I don't get it.

[franciscosanz]

Why is it so difficult to find anyone other than RTINGS who has reviewed the Dell G2724D

[Max-ejpo]

Please review the new class of 180hz 1440p - the AOC Q27G4X seems the best

[Max-ejpo]

I purchased the Gigabyte M27Q X after this. It is quick, but not sure it is much better than the latest 180 hz 1440p monitors coming out now… 180hz vs 240hz but not much better total response time + input lag for a price premium.??

[boi]

Can you review the HP Omen 27QS, 400euro 240hz

[Batyalas]

I would like to see videos relating to the European market. There are lots of reviewers for the US market but not as many for the EU.

[PSXman]

i have two GP850s and they are barely useable... 800:1 contrast ratio, black is blue/red ish and looks just awful even worse than the 2020 boe panels.

[yarincool]

Youre trolling if you didnt put the AOC Q24G2 here.

[Kalantinus]

For some unknown reasonnAW2723DF is cheaper than S tiers monitor in your list xd. No by large margin (2 cent max) but I ended up buying it and I am happy with it

[MrKony]

I have bought m27q x during black friday with quite a discount and waited a month for it to onlu find out it has a bad pixel in upper middle quadrant of the display. Such a shame I cannot get another one for the same price after my return

[rahellscream]

Love the videos very informative and helpful. I was wondering do you know anything about LG 27GR75Q beacause 27GR83Q is not available in my region. Is the only difference refresh rate? I need monitor for color work and gaming.

[alanbenyamin]

Good thing the alienware is on sale which is the only reason why it was bumped down to "low A tier." Correct?

[billcipher]

Looking forward to seeing that 4k redmagic monitor with 5088 local dimming zones. Would like to see them make a 1440p one with just as many zones or close.
