If you think I’m going to take another look at a monitor I’ve already tested, you’re not wrong. Visually, the KTC M27P20 Pro (M27P20P) looks extremely similar to the Cooler Master Tempest GP27U. You could almost call them identical twins. The built-in panel from AU-Optronics is also the same as the GP27U.
The Cooler Master Tempest GP27U in the „long-term development test“ – a real alternative to OLED?
An IPS panel with RGB subpixel layout and a full array local dimming mini LED backlight. The whole thing is garnished with a layer of Quantum Dots, giving you more color space coverage, which you may or may not need. As similar as the two monitors may be, there are small but subtle differences. We will be working out these differences today.
What I really like about KTC is the way the monitor is packaged. This type of packaging drastically minimizes the likelihood of the monitor being damaged during transport. On the other hand, the materials used are not exactly the most environmentally friendly. A real dilemma… From my point of view, I would prefer this type of packaging. Because there’s nothing worse than receiving a defective monitor that costs around 750 euros. If you have to send it back and get a new one, the CO2 footprint becomes a completely different issue. So much for that – you should also think about what is more important in the end?
The packaging is not made of the usual polystyrene, but is based on a type of foam. I can’t answer at this point to what extent this is ultimately more environmentally friendly. Facts are needed here, not just opinions! Can pure cardboard packaging protect a product – such as a monitor – in the same way? Opinions vs. facts?

I got the data from the website: click here!
I can also provide you with a link to the KTC website (click here!). Anyone who has read all these marketing slides will certainly have high expectations of the KTC M27P20P going into this test. So I have high expectations of the monitor, because after all, it has to prove itself against the “in-house” Cooler Master GP27U. Let’s take a closer look. Let’s go!
