Our Verdict
LG 27GN950-B
Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75
The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75 is better overall for gaming than the LG 27GN950-B. The Samsung has better picture quality with deeper blacks and a better local dimming feature, and it also makes highlights pop more in HDR. If you want to play games from the Xbox Series X or PS5, the Samsung is also the better choice as it has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth to take full advantage of the consoles, which the LG doesn't have.
