Review: After 1 year of daily use, I can say this is the best monitor I've ever had! - ***UPDATE (01/13/2026)*** - The M27T20 is still going strong with no issues whatsoever! I've been using the KTC M27T20 as my main monitor for a little over a year now and it has been amazing! I updated the firmware to the latest version (V1.2.1A) and used an ICC Profile from a YouTube channel called "techless" and loaded it through a program called DisplayCAL and after a few small tweaks to the settings in the monitor's OSD (which I'll upload a screenshot of my settings), this monitor has gone above and beyond my expectations! The two main features that make this monitor worth it for me are the Local Dimming and HDR capabilities. First, HDR is amazing but I have found that your experiences and how it is implemented with PC games will vary from game to game. Though with NVidia's new RTX HDR and programs like SpecialK/reShade, you can customize HDR content to best fit your display and the KTC M27T20 will need some tweaking to get things perfect but once you've got the settings dialed in, it's beautiful and vibrant. Second, Local Dimming is a must have feature to have enabled when using HDR as you'll be able to get those inky blacks. While you're not getting the black levels of an OLED display, the KTC M27T20 is a VA display with excellent contrast and with local dimming enabled, you can get pretty close to an OLED with minimal blooming...most of the time. Local dimming should really only be enabled with HDR content and I leave it on Auto but when I used my Switch to play The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, I turned it on and despite being SDR, it worked really well with the artstyle and areas like the Depths looked great with Local Dimming enabled so your mileage will vary. A feature that I was unaware of when I purchased the monitor but came in handy was the 90w USB-C port on the back of the monitor. It can be used as an alternate display connection for a variety of devices and act as a fast charging port. Because of it's power output, I can power my Pinecil soldering iron off of my monitor which is crazy to think about. There's also 2 USB-A 3.0 ports, a USB-B UpStream port, 2 HDMI 2.0 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4 port, and a 3.5mm audio connection. This monitor also doubles as a KVM but I haven't tested it since it's a feature I don't have any use for personally but I know many look for it. If I had one complaint about the monitor, it's that the power cable is a bit short. There's a cable that runs from the monitor to a power brick and then another cable running to the wall or surge protector. Both cables are awkwardly short and I have to prop the brick on a shelf under my desk otherwise it would be suspended in the air rather than resting on the floor where I would've liked it to be. Also, despite having built in speakers, they work but the quality leaves a lot to be desired. Make sure you get a pair of desktop speakers instead. Final thoughts, if you don't want to spend the money that current OLED monitors are going for and want a good HDR monitor with excellent contrast, go with the KTC M27T20. It's cheaper than a lot of the competition and as long as you update the firmware from the main website, you'll be golden. (Sorry for poor quality phone pictures, I just wanted to show the difference Local Dimming can have when running a game with HDR enabled)
Review: Settings are tricky - Great price for a 1440p monitor - Settings are tricky- if you fiddle with them to much you will experience flashing and screen blacking out due to a mix of powerful features I ended up buying an OLED and passing this on to my kids. 8/10 i recommend

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How can it run 4k 160hz when it only has a displayport 1.4 that is limited to 144hz?**
A: DP 1.4 can go up to 10 bit 240hz 4K w/ lossless DSC (display stream compression). That's how all high end high refresh rate 4K monitors achieve such numbers.

**Q: Does this monitor provide true G-Sync support or will there be a future version with this feature?  I have a RTX 4080 card.**
A: It is a free sync premium monitor. You can enable Gsync and it works just fine. But It is not on Nvidia's official support list. It does work though

**Q: Does the 4k mini led monitor have hdmi 2.0 or hdmi 2.1.?it shows 2.0 in the title but the production information states 2.1.**
A: I bought this monitor a couple weeks ago.

It can't be just 2.0, because I just hooked it up to my gpu over HDMI and am driving it at 120hz 4k (although I had to turn on HDR before Windows would allow >60hz resolutions). I wasn't able to go to 144 or 160 because of my HDMI cable, I suspect. This means it has to be 2.1, since I'm getting more than 60hz.

I usually run 4k @144hz over DisplayPort with no issues at all.

**Q: How does the auto KVM setting actually work? In US monitors "settings -> advanced settings -> kvm -> auto". I use this but still need to manually set.**
A: Auto mode works like in other monitors. Only one source should be connected and that one gets the kvm, if you have two sources connected then USB UP takes precedence.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent HDR Monitor at a Mid-Range Cost
*by P***S on March 7, 2024*

As of this review I've had no problems, will revise later if anything crops up. If you're in the market for an HDR monitor, and you're worried about OLED burn-in issues or price, this is an excellent middle-ground. I managed to purchase this monitor at $459 with a $120 coupon, which put it into the $360 range after tax. At that price it is an absolute steal, especially compared to the Cooler Master GP27Q, of which this monitor is a variant (KTC are the panel makers for the Cooler Master Mini-LED monitors). When purchasing this monitor, you should consider immediately upgrading the firmware, as it allows the use of HDR, local dimming, and VRR to work together. Reading over other reviews, it's clear that some of the users who have purchased this monitor don't understand the caveats of Mini-LED. You should never run local dimming and HDR when doing normal tasks in SDR, it will wash out the color and the blooming will be terrible. The monitor has a setting of "AUTO" for both local dimming and HDR, and you should assign them to that. You should then activate HDR whenever you're planning to watch HDR content or play games (win + alt + B in Windows), as it will automatically turn on both settings. For HDR this monitor is exceptional, the blooming is only noticeable under strict circumstances, and the brightness and saturation are great. While it is not as precise as my TCL QM8's backlight system, the implementation is quite good. The motion clarity is also really good in gaming, especially for a VA panel (specifically HVA for this monitor). I've played plenty of FPS games, and when you set the overdrive to advanced, which is the recommended setting in almost every scenario, there is little-to-no ghosting or black smear. Keep in mind this is still a 165hz panel, and if you're interested solely in FPS games I'd recommend something with a higher refresh rate. Setting overdrive beyond advanced will cause inverse ghosting, though this is common in most LCD monitors with aggressive overdrive settings. For SDR you'll need to do some calibration to your liking, as the colors are overly saturated out of the box, and you cannot adjust colors in HDR. My personal settings were to leave the Professional Mode in Native, and all of the initial "display" settings untouched. Under "Color Temperature" I set it to User, and then configured it for Red 48, Green 48, and Blue 47. Your colors may need to be adjusted differently, no panel is the same. The SRGB and DCI-P3 settings are also reasonably accurate, but keep in mind that with the gamma shifts of a VA panel this isn't a good monitor for color critical work. Interestingly, while this monitor will default to 144hz when HDR and local dimming are set to Auto, you can set custom resolutions that will force the monitor to still run at 165hz. While the difference is practically unnoticeable, I would understand why someone would want to do this for maximum performance. Setting a custom resolution will also allow you to force the monitor to run at 10-bit instead of 8-bit. This monitor is, like most "HDR" monitors, an 8-bit panel that will employ FRC to reach 10-bit color depth. The difference is negligible, but the manufacturer lists the panel as 8-bit for this reason. You can also run MPRT on this monitor, but the option is only available if you turn off HDR and local dimming. This includes switching them off of Auto, as MPRT will remain locked out otherwise. Other notable additions to this monitor are the 90w USB-C charging and video input, and 2 USB 3.1 pass through ports. When configuring this, note that the monitor sets the USB ports to off under KVM on initial setup. I'd recommend "Auto" setting if you are running something like a keyboard through the monitor, as the "USB UP" setting will not make the keyboard sleep when you turn off your computer. I don't need the KVM switch, so I cannot comment on use of that feature. You can configure hot settings for the joystick, but some of the most important features can't be bound to this function, which is an oversight in my opinion. Being able to turn off HDR to enable MPRT quickly would be nice (you can bind local dimming at least), but it's not a big deal for my use cases. I'd also like to point out that the build quality is pretty decent, though not as nice as the Gigabyte Aorus monitor it's replacing. The stand is heavy, and serviceable, but not particularly noteworthy, it does all the tilting and turning you'd need though. As for downsides, I'd argue that not including HDMI 2.1 is a little unfortunate. This monitor can simulate 4K and then downscale to 2K, which would be nice if you were interested in using this with a console. The viewing angles, due to it being a VA panel, aren't amazing, but still appreciably better than a TN panel, and you don't get the IPS glow. I have once noticed the flicker from local dimming, but it was localized to the Vignetting setting in the Witcher 3. Turning the setting off fixed the problem, but I don't understand why it would've caused an issue to begin with as it was causing the corners of the screen to be light rather than dark. There is a bit of black crushing, so you'll probably need to adjust your games to help alleviate overly dark or bright areas. I also don't understand why the blue light filter only adjusts in increments of 25, so be aware you may want to use your OS settings or videocard drivers instead. I also, for whatever reason, did not have the 3.1 adapter cable in my box, though I already had one from my previous monitor. There seems to be a common complaint of missing cables, so consider having alternatives on-hand. Frankly, all of these issues are minor to me, as the overall presentation is impeccable for the cost. It's worth noting that if you're not like me, and don't need the extra inputs/outputs, the AOC Q27G3XMN at $250-$280 is an excellent alternative to this monitor. It has a slightly worse build quality, less dimming zones, which doesn't matter as the implementation is good, and the OSD software is worse, but the presentation is just as good, if not better, than the M27T20, and its refresh rate is faster at 180hz. In fact, the VA panel it uses is possibly the fastest one currently available in terms of GTG performance, and the black smear is even lower than the M27T20's. Further, the AOC has a 3 year warranty to the KTC's 1 year. I also have to admit that I will miss having desktop software to control the monitor, which is something my Gigabyte monitor uses. That aspect of the user experience makes the implementation here feel not nearly as premium, but again setting things to Auto helps alleviate most of the headaches. The bottom line is, at the price I purchased this monitor, I think any shortcomings are easy to overlook. I'd strongly recommend doing the research on understanding how this monitor should be used before purchase, so that your expectations align with the experience.
