What Buyers Say

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.

  • Stunning vibrant colors
  • Deep inky blacks
  • 360Hz refresh rate
  • 0.03ms response time
  • Premium metal build quality
Cons
  • Color fringing on text
  • Occasional random flicker

45 out of 100 medium confidence 11 reviews

The monitor receives mixed reviews. Many users praise its sharp image, vibrant colors, and excellent value for the price, especially for gaming at high refresh rates. However, a significant number of buyers report serious issues like dead pixels, broken buttons, damage during shipping, and misleading specifications regarding HDMI 2.1 support and actual brightness. The built-in speakers are widely considered poor, but most users do not rely on them.

Pros
  • Sharp and vibrant display
  • Excellent value for money
  • Great for high-refresh-rate gaming
  • VESA mount compatible
  • Eye-care mode
Cons
  • Dead pixels reported
  • Damaged on arrival (screws, buttons)
  • Misleading HDMI 2.1 support
  • Lower actual brightness than advertised
  • Poor built-in speakers
