Deal | Affordable 27-inch 180 Hz Samsung Odyssey G3 gaming monitor drops to lowest-ever price on Amazon US
Most gamers who know their stuff are no strangers to Samsung's Odyssey lineup of gaming monitors. For those who are on a budget, the 27-inch Odyssey G3 (G30D) gaming monitor is currently available on Amazon for its lowest price ever at just $128.
At its current discounted price, buyers are getting quite a lot. For starters, the Samsung Odyssey G3 rocks a 1080p panel with a refresh rate of a whopping 180 Hz, making the monitor a delight for fast-paced gaming. The monitor features a VA panel, allowing for significantly better contrast levels than competing IPS panels. Brightness is serviceable at 250 nits, with Samsung claiming 95% coverage of the sRGB color gamut.
However, the VA panel might also prove to be a deal-breaker for some. Characteristically, the VA panel hampers viewing angles and suffers from poor pixel response times, as noted by DisplayNinja. That said, the monitor features FreeSync and G-Sync support, and sports swivel, tilt, and 90-degree pivot capabilities, the last one of which programmers and streamers who need a secondary monitor will appreciate.
All in all, the 27-inch Samsung Odyssey G3 (G30D) gaming monitor is a decent option for those on a budget, contingent on their willingness to live with the downsides of a VA panel. For such folks, Amazon's ongoing sale makes the unit easier to recommend than ever before.
