Buy the KTC H27T27S.

It hits the resolution sweet spot for a 27 inch screen and costs less than both rivals doing it.

What was compared

  • Dell 27 Monitor - SE2726H - 27-inch FHD (1920x1080) 144Hz 1ms Display, in-Plane Switching ... — $199.99
  • KTC 27 Inch QHD 144Hz Gaming Monitor 2K 1440P FreeSync & G-Sync H27T27S | Eye Care, HDR10 ... — $144.99
  • Viewedge 27 inch 4K 160Hz Computer Monitor 1ms UHD 2160p IPS Gaming Monitor | HDR 10, 100%... — $169.99

Five reasons

  1. 1. Sharper picture than the Dell, and usable unlike the Viewedge

    KTC's 1440p packs nearly double the pixels of Dell's 1080p across the same 27 inches, so text and games look visibly crisper. Viewedge's 4K has more pixels still, but most desks do not have the GPU to make that matter, covered in point three.

  2. 2. Works with whatever graphics card you own

    KTC lists both FreeSync and G-Sync support, so it runs smooth on AMD and Nvidia cards alike. Dell only advertises FreeSync, and Viewedge's adaptive sync claim is vaguer and less proven across brands.

  3. 3. 4K at 160Hz needs a GPU most buyers do not own

    Pushing Viewedge's 3840x2160 panel to 160 frames a second takes a high end graphics card that often costs more than the monitor. Unless you already own that kind of GPU, you are paying for a number you will never actually see, and that is not most people shopping in this price range.

  4. 4. Better resolution for less money than the Dell

    At $144.99 the KTC undercuts Dell's $199.99 while stepping you up from FHD to QHD, and it beats Viewedge's $169.99 too. Less money for the sharper, more genuinely useful screen is not a close call.

  5. 5. Yes, Dell is the safer name. Buy KTC anyway.

    Dell's reputation and 1 year warranty are real and worth something. But KTC backs its price with over 9,000 reviews at a solid 4.2 rating, a track record Viewedge cannot match given the longevity concerns showing up in its own reviews.
