The KTC OLED G27P6 joins the busy 27-inch 240 Hz OLED gaming monitor market. While it uses the same LG.Display WOLED panel as its direct competitors, it does succeed in drawing attention to itself with several standout features. First of all, coming in at around $800, it's one of the least expensive such monitors. During my time with it, I saw it dip down to $775 on several occasions, which is unheard of for a 27-inch gaming monitor of this pedigree. I approached it with caution knowing that KTC aimed to undercut the competition with the price, but I'm happy to report no obvious corners have been cut.

The KTC OLED G27P6 has a single important drawback: it offers no Auto Brightness Limiter toggle, so it's not possible to prevent the changes in its brightness depending on the content currently displayed. That hinders its productivity potential, as some users will find it too annoying while surfing the web or working with documents. Most competing 27-inch OLED monitors let us turn the ABL off at the expense of brightness, and since most are able to reach a brightness of over 200 cd/m² in that state, it's an acceptable tradeoff. No such luck with the KTC OLED G27P6 – ABL is on, and there's nothing you can do about it. For gaming, video and even lighter desktop usage, this is of course a non-issue. It's not likely someone's going to look to buy an OLED monitor for productivity anyway, because there are other issues, too – the non-standard subpixel layout causes fringing and makes text and various UI elements look soft, and there's also a risk of burn-in due to constantly displaying elements such as Windows taskbar at a fixed position.

What the KTC OLED G27P6 is made for, and what it excels at, is gaming and media consumption. The sublime responsiveness of the panel, combined with superb moving image sharpness and richness of colors, makes this an outstanding choice for hardcore gaming and video watching. The picture looks good in SDR, and even better in HDR, where the inherent characteristics of OLED technology, such as infinite contrast and true blacks, really shine.

KTC made the OLED G27P6 even more attractive by adding a KVM switch and a USB-C DP Alt Mode port with 65 W Power Delivery. The KVM switch is a bit finicky, but if you know how to work around its flaws, it will serve you well.

If you're looking for a 27-inch gaming monitor and intend to use it for gaming more than anything else, this could very well be the one to get. It's less expensive than its direct competitors while matching them in most aspects, and even outperforming in others.
