Our Verdict

Gigabyte M27Q (rev. 1.0)

Samsung Odyssey G7 S28AG70

The Gigabyte M27Q (rev. 1.0) and the Samsung Odyssey G7 S28AG70 are both excellent for gaming, but they're different types of monitors. The Gigabyte has a 1440p resolution with a 170Hz refresh rate, while the Samsung has a 4k resolution with a 144Hz refresh, and it has HDMI 2.1 inputs that make it a good choice for console gaming. The Gigabyte has better motion handling at 60Hz because there's more overshoot on the Samsung. The Gigabyte also has more productivity options like a USB-C input, and it gets brighter, but the Samsung has better ergonomics because you can swivel it.
