Processing and mobility
The processing is the same as the GP27U, presumably the M27P20P and GP27U are produced on the same line. The design of the two monitors could also be easily confused. You can really only tell them apart by the stand. Like its Cooler Master brother, the M27P20P can also offer all ergonomic features: Swivel, tilt, portrait and height adjustment. If you want, you can also mount it on a Vesa wall, for example.
The KTC M27P20P has the same RGB lighting on the back as the Cooler Master GP27U. Who would have thought it?
Connectors, cables and accessories
The M27P20P has a wide range of connections. It offers 2x HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4 and USB-C with DP function and up to 90 watts power supply. There are also 2x USB-A and 1x USB-B upstream. A KVM switch is included so you can use your mouse and keyboard – more or less – on two devices at the same time. Of course, the customer can also use a 3.5 jack connection for headphones. All necessary cables are included: HDMI, DP, USB-C and external power supply.
The HDMI 2.1 connections only have 24 Gbit/s. Unfortunately, this means that you can only use 3840 x 2160 @ 160 Hz with 8 bit – without 4:4:4 subchroma. If you switch to 120 Hz refresh rate, you can use 10 bit and 4:4:4. This will certainly please console gamers. Even 3840 x 2160 @ 240 Hz would work via DisplayPort with DSC. So the M27P20P can be fully extended via DP. The USB-C DP mode can still be operated at 144 Hz.
OSD
This is where the two monitors (GP27U and M27P20P) differ and yet are so similar. Paradoxical? Janein! The OSD is basically the same, even if the colors are not the same. Here you can see that the OSD software clearly comes from KTC itself and has been color-customized for Cooler Master. Unfortunately, the KTC M27P20P cannot be adjusted in the “pre-calibrated” color profiles (sRGB, P3, Adobe RGB). The OSD is locked except for the brightness. Whether this is a good idea remains to be seen.
The usual gaming features such as crosshairs can of course also be found. The KTC also has this peculiar mode of operation. To confirm/select something, you have to navigate to the right with the joystick. I don’t understand why the enter function is not assigned to the classic click. Intuitive control looks different! The fact that you have to acknowledge an annoying confirmation on the monitor every time you change the brightness should also be reconsidered by KTC.
Software
As a customer, you have to do without control software or remote control. Do you need it in the end? I can manage without such nice-to-have things. But there are supposed to be more comfortable people than me. Although a remote control is really cool. Anyway, now let’s really get going…
