Introduction
KTC is a name of a small Croatian chain of general stores where I buy my milk and bananas. With that in mind, imagine my surprise when I was contacted by the e-commerce giant Geekbuying, asking if I'd like to take a look at the KTC H27T22 gaming monitor. As it quickly turned out, KTC is also an acronym for Key To Combat, an experienced Chinese monitor manufacturer, introduced to our readers in a
recent news post, announcing a quartet of their promising gaming monitors.
The KTC H27T22 is a gaming monitor, sporting a 27-inch 2560x1440 Fast IPS panel, 165 Hz refresh rate, 99% sRGB coverage, and a full complement of ergonomic options, including height adjustment and pivot. Priced at $250, the H27T22 seems like a good deal on paper, so let's not waste time and dive straight into the review.
