Affordable 5K monitor with 120 Hz, 500 nits and 99% DCI-P3: KTC unveils alternative to Apple Studio Display (2025)

Since the launch of the Apple Studio Display (approx. $1,499 on Amazon), companies such as Dell, HP and LG have introduced monitors with the same resolution. However, these products were often only marginally cheaper and hardly any better than Apple’s monitor in terms of specs. Chinese monitor specialist KTC is aiming to deliver a more modern yet significantly less expensive alternative to the Studio Display.

The KTC H27P3 features a 27-inch IPS panel with a 5K resolution (5,120 x 2,880 pixels). One notable feature is that users can toggle between 5K resolution at 60 Hz, and 1080p resolution at 120 Hz, allowing for a decent gaming experience. According to KTC, the monitor can achieve a full-screen brightness of 500 nits and a contrast ratio of 2,000:1, which is remarkably high for an IPS panel.
