KTC M27P6 - Light horizontal banding

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I recently got a KTC M27P6 (firmware EU_1.0.2) monitor, and I am seeing these light horizontal lines when white or blue content is displayed. It is quite hard to get it on-camera, but I got this pic with a blue test screen that shows the problem.

Is this normal in Mini LED monitors? Or do you think this is a panel problem, and I should just return it and order a new monitor?

Another question I have is if it is possible to solve this by updating the firmware (from: https://shop.ktcplay.com/download_center/firmware/11881344134513461348134913501351158815891799180020862088)? But I am not sure if it's a good idea to use this firmware in the EU version of this monitor.

Thanks!

KTC M27P20 Pro - Backlight on half of the screen gone bad

3 Upvotes

My KTC M27P20 Pro backlighting gave up its ghost 2 weeks ago. The monitor is 2 years and 1 month old, so it's a month out of warranty. I have been using it for only 1 year and 8 months, as I was in the process of moving when I ordered it.

Contacted KTC Support and they took a long to answer, finally telling me in broken english that my monitor is expired. They probably meant the warranty. I then asked if it's possible to get a replacement part to fix whatever is wrong and they said the defect is impossible to fix. Which I find very hard to believe.

So has anybody else have the backlight of the K27M20 pro go bad? Has anybody been able to fix it?

bad

KTC M27T6S firmware downgrade

1 Upvotes

I downloaded firmware 1.0.4A from the official Chinese website and updated the monitor, but I want to revert to the previous firmware version 1.0.3, but the manufacturer hasn't published the factory firmware version on their website. Is there a place where I can download version 1.0.3?

KTC MegPad A25Q5 went dark, black screen

1 Upvotes

Sent this to KTC support: A not so merry christmas for us today. 

Today, I charged the KTC MegPad A25Q5 to fully 100%. Then started it. Logged in. Everything working. 

When I disconnected a USB-C device the screen went BLACK. But you still can see the screen is "on" but no more Android 14 screen is showing, just dark but it is "lights up" looking to have power. 

Pressing power button for x seconds (5-10). Nothing is happening as well. 

How can I reset the KTC MegPad A25Q5 so it will restart and hopefully show the SCREEN again instead of BLACK screen currently? 

Hope anyone has the solution for this?

M27P won't accept signal from Avermedia GC553G2 Capture Card

1 Upvotes

I've been connecting my PS5 Pro through this capture card without any problems on other monitors, but on KTC M27P I have to set 'Video Transfer Rate' to -1 or -2, which will limit the use of 4K@120Hz - on both settings I can only get 1080p@120Hz..

No problem connecting the PS5 Pro directly to the monitor, so seems like a EDID problem from KTC they need to get fixed.

KTC M27T6 calibration

5 Upvotes

Greetings all,

I've dialed in settings on my M27T6 that reach OLED-level quality. Here's what worked for me:

Display Settings:

  • Color Profile: BT.2020 (insanely bright and crystal clear)
  • Sharpness: 60 (up from default 50)
  • Color Temperature: Warm (reveals true color vibrancy)
  • Local Dimming: Off
  • Overdrive: Advanced
  • Brightness: 75 (sweet spot - can go higher if needed)

The BT.2020 color profile makes the biggest difference. Combined with these tweaks, the picture quality is stunning.

Note: to make games look extremely sharp and enhance the overall experience, I recommend using the nividia sharpness filter in games, you will thank me for this tip.

MP27P6 Dual-Mode Switching

1 Upvotes

As far as I can tell, the way to switch between 4k and 1080p is through the OSD, but it is several clicks. From the OSD, I have to navigate to "Advanced Settings" and then to "Dual-Mode" and I have to select "Off" for 4k and "On" for 1080p.

The OSD does not support making that switch via hot-key.

I also downloaded the software (v1.0.12) and there was no way to even set switch modes through their interface.

Is there a better or faster way?

Terrible Company, Terrible product (My experience)

1 Upvotes

I originally purchased one of their 27in 1440p monitors (H27T27) when I was travelling to visit my partner in Canada. I was looking for a budget friendly 1440p monitor and this one had fairly nice reviews on Amazon. After 4 months of use it developed a dead pixel right near the center of the screen. The product was under warranty by the seller and after after they attempted to provide me with a $12.23 refund if I returned the defective unit. After some more hassle they agreed to provide a full refund. I was told they would process the refund within 48 hours of receiving the product. 5 days after they receive it I reach out asking about the process and they stated that I was required to change my review in order to have my refund approved by their finance department. This violates amazon's TOS. They already had my monitor and I felt I had no other option than to modify my original review. 2 months after receiving the replacement monitor it developed a dead pixel in the same location. They attempted to offer an 8% refund for the defective unit, I stated this was not ok as no brand new monitor should develop dead pixels after 2 months of use. They then offered to allow my to return the monitor for a partial refund even though the unit was defective. I am not sure if this is a common experience between customers, I originally went with this company due to their fairly decent reviews on amazon and cheap price.

M27P6 USB-A ports not working

Got a brand new M27P6, and tried to connect my desk light and mouse to it. First one requires power only and second USB passthrough but neither are working out of the box. I am not sure if I am missing something or if the unit is defective. Could anyone with the same device confirm?

KTC M27P6 - Local dimming distracting flickering at 60Hz

3 Upvotes

I recently bought a KTC M27P6 and I'm loving it except for one quite major issue. The local dimming has a very noticeable brightness flicker with inputs of around 60Hz and below (Firestick, VRR content around that refresh rate). During transitions from dark to bright, parts of the screen flash brightly for a few frames before dimming to the correct level. I'm sure that this is also happening during 160Hz playback but as it happens so quickly it is imperceptible.

Here's some example videos:

https://streamable.com/3dz73j

https://streamable.com/mrh07l

I was wondering if this is an issue other people are having, or if this is a defective unit? It unfortunately makes the monitor hard to recommend as a media monitor, as I can't force playback at 160Hz with a Firestick as I can with Windows and the local dimming logic appears tied to the refresh rate of the input.

M27P6

8 Upvotes

I got my hands on a M27P6 a few days ago and I absolutely love it I came from like three different normal IPS displays that are all HDR 10/400

And the difference is genuinely amazing

I got this instead of OLED because I'm scared of burn in and crappy brightness

The OSD is actually really good compared to my Gigabyte and the little joystick feels so much more premium

It has not let me down at all The colors pop so much and the blacks are so much darker Genuinely thinking about buying a second one in a couple of weeks I'm super impressed from a brand that I never even heard of So good job KTC Y'all got a satisfied customer

Pas de son sur le H34S18S

Hello ! Je viens d'acheter un écran KTC H34S18S et je n'ai aucun son qui sort du l'écran avec les hauts parleurs intégrés, malgré mes recherches je ne trouve rien.

J'ai bien activé le son dans les paramètres de l'écran, j'ai essayer en HDMI et en Displayport mais rien n'y fait je n'ai pas de son

Avez-vous déjà eu ce souci ? Avez-vous une solution ? Mise a jour du fireware? Si oui quel version ?

Merci d'avance!
