Our Verdict
Dell S3422DWG
Samsung Odyssey G50D S27DG50
The Samsung Odyssey G50D S27DG50 and the Dell S3422DWG are different types of entry-level gaming monitors. The Dell is the better choice if you care about picture quality, as it has a higher contrast ratio for deeper blacks, and it also gets brighter in HDR. However, the Samsung gets brighter in SDR, which is something to consider if you want to use it in a bright room, and it has better ergonomics and wider viewing angles that make it the better choice for sharing the screen with someone else. The Samsung is also better for gaming because it has less smearing with fast-moving objects. On the other hand, the Dell monitor has a few extra features, like a USB hub, that the Samsung doesn't have.
