Our Verdict

LG 27GP850-B/27GP83B-B

Samsung Odyssey G55C S27CG55

The LG 27GP850-B/27GP83B-B and the Samsung Odyssey G5/G55C S27CG55 are 27-inch gaming monitors. However, the LG is the better monitor for most people. The Samsung has better contrast and displays deeper blacks in a dark room. However, the LG has better overall performance. The LG gets considerably brighter and has far better viewing angles, so you can better share content with friends or play a local co-op game. The LG also has far better motion handling, so fast-moving objects look crisp.
