Review on Samsung Odyssey 27" Curved Gaming Monitor with FreeSync, QHD 2560x1440P Display and Adaptive Sync Technology by Patrick Ahmed

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Suitable for less than $500 depends on what games you want to play on it.

The monitor has come down in price and is now one of the best budget options for gaming and ultra-wide. The biggest issue with this monitor is image blur. In non-competitive games, this is not a problem at all. You'll only notice it if you look. However, when it comes to FPS or other more competitive games, it will severely affect your performance. I don't appreciate the aesthetics, particularly the fact that the front cutouts are just fake speakers. At least there are no red accents here, so it's not too obnoxious. The bezels are okay, they're not very thick, but there are plenty of monitors out there that will beat it. Overall, this is a good "budget" ultra wide gaming monitor. Colors are disabled by default, but can be adjusted to get pretty good results. The black color is good as to be expected from a VA panel, but unfortunately like other VA panels it suffers from ghosting.

Pros
  • The large screen size makes it ideal for multitasking and working with multiple documents.
Cons
  • I will add later
