The Samsung Odyssey G50D specs make it ideal as a well-balanced, affordable gaming monitor. It features a 2,560 x 1,440 screen resolution that combined with its 27-inch screen size provides an ideal image size and pixel density for the vast majority of games. Meanwhile, it's use of a Fast IPS panel means you get great viewing angles and reliable color reproduction without compromising too much on response time. In fact, we've typically found IPS to be the best all-round LCD display type, as our IPS vs VA guide explains.

A 180Hz refresh rate isn't record-breaking when compared to the latest 500Hz monitors, but it's plenty for satisfyingly smooth gameplay in any single player game and enough to stay reasonably competitive in faster-paced, multiplayer, esports titles, such as CS2, Fortnite, and The Finals. AMD FreeSync support is also onboard, which ensures this monitor won't show screen tearing or suffer from stutter when used with GPUs that support Freesync, which is just about any recent AMD model, with Intel GPUs supporting it too.

There's no mention of official Nvidia G-Sync support when using Nvidia GPUs, but we've found that most gaming monitors with Freesync support will provide this function on Nvidia GPUs too.

With an MSRP of $349.99, the this monitor is an absolute steal at its current price of $229.99.
