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.

Pros
  • 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
  • Limited menu customization
  • Power cord is US plug (not EU)
  • No mounting screws included
