Our Verdict
Dell G2724D
Samsung Odyssey G50D S27DG50
The Dell G2724D and the Samsung Odyssey G5/G50D S27DG50 are 1440p 27-inch gaming monitors. Both monitors are very similar; you may prefer to get whichever is less expensive. However, if you care a lot about motion handling, the Dell is a better choice, as it has better motion handling. The Dell is also a better choice if you use your monitor for console gaming, as it's more compatible with consoles.
