The KTC H27T22 is an affordable 27-inch Fast IPS gaming monitor. For $250, you get a capable screen with 165 Hz refresh rate, low input lag, both FreeSync and G-SYNC adaptive synchronization support, and excellent motion handling.

If anyone buys this monitor and wants to mount it to an arm or wall. Youre gonna need a spacer kit.
 
Nice review.

"The KTC H27T22 features an AU Optronics 8-bit Fast IPS panel capable of displaying 16.7 million colors"

Do you happen to know what the panel model # is? And what's the warranty?

Thanks
 
Last time when i heard and used KTC monitors was about 20 years ago... i even forgot this company ever existed:)). Their products are really on the budget side but somehow fully functional and decent quality
 
Can a simple new information be added to each new monitor review?

"This monitor does/does not support DDC/CI", along with a print screen from ControlMyMonitor and maybe a few details to confirm what commands work or not, even if exposed- https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/control_my_monitor.html

When i go from a game, to a movie, to text, i use very different monitor settings.
So i like to have a few keyboard shortcuts that instantly send custom brightness, contrast, rgb etc values to the monitor. No need to fiddle with the osd menu on the monitor.
 
Nice review.

Fast IPS:AUO M270DAN08.2, also called AUO 8.2
 
Looking at the response time table it looks like a VA panel. I guess they can't set OD properly.

Indeed, the panel was released almost three years ago. Many entry-level Chinese monitors use this panel, and some of the cheaper monitors use panels that are not as good.

I'm confused on that - it would seem to be that panel be based on "AUO 8.2" in the marketing, but the M270DAN08.2 is a quantum dot display and claims 100% Adobe RGB coverage. This video on YouTube found the KTC to have 80.4% Adobe RGB coverage.


Are they artificially hardware limiting the color gamut? Can't see a good reason to do that. In that video he claims that the MSI G273QF/G273QPF use the same panel, but MSI doesn't advertise that monitor as quantum dot either? Rtings found that monitor to have 84% Adobe RGB coverage.

I went through all (195) 27" AUO panels on panelook and the only other "8.2" is the "M270DTN08.2" but that isn't in production anymore and was 240 Hz.

I think the spec sheet is wrong. I can't see that panel being 100% adobe rgb.
 
If you want a less gamery version of this monitor, but with an integrated USB hub, buy the Xiaomi Mi 2K gaming monitor 27. Same panel specs, different back (no LEDs), integrated PSU, same stand design but straight. Very happy about it!
