Our Verdict
Dell G2724D
Samsung Odyssey G55C S27CG55
The Dell G2724D and the Samsung Odyssey G5/G55C S27CG55 are 27-inch gaming monitors. However, the Dell is the better monitor for most people. The Samsung has better contrast, and you may prefer it if you're gaming in a darker room. However, the Dell has better overall performance. The Dell gets considerably brighter and has better reflection handling, making it the better choice for brighter rooms. The Dell also has a far better response time, so fast-moving objects look crisp, and it has lower input lag for a more responsive feel. Additionally, the Dell has far better ergonomics, so it's easier to place in your preferred position for a long gaming session.
