Samsung Odyssey G60SD 27" Silver 2024
92 out of 100 low confidence 9 reviews
This Samsung QD-OLED monitor receives overwhelmingly positive feedback for its stunning colors, deep blacks, and exceptional responsiveness. Users highlight the 360Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time as game-changers for competitive gaming, with many noting a noticeable improvement in gameplay. A few minor concerns include color fringing on text (typical for QD-OLED at 1440p) and occasional random flicker, but these are generally considered negligible. The build quality is praised as premium and sturdy, and the anti-glare coating is effective in most lighting conditions.
