Our Verdict
ASUS ZenScreen MB14AC
Samsung Odyssey G3 F27G35T
The ASUS ZenScreen MB14AC and the Samsung Odyssey G3 F27G35T are very different monitors. The ASUS is a 14" portable monitor with a basic 60Hz refresh rate, while the Samsung is a 27" budget desktop gaming monitor with a 144Hz refresh rate. The ASUS has a very narrow color gamut that makes colors look washed out, so it's not ideal for work that requires image accuracy or media consumption. It's also not a good choice for gaming because it has bad response times and no VRR support.
