Our Verdict
LG 27GP950-B
Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 S32BG85
The Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 S32BG85 and the LG 27GP950-B are both excellent 4k gaming monitors with different screen types. The Samsung is better for dark room gaming as it delivers deeper blacks, and its Mini LED local dimming feature is better. It also has a higher 240Hz refresh rate, which makes it future-proof. On the other hand, the LG is better for co-op gaming as it has wider viewing angles, and its overall motion handling is a bit better as it doesn't have overshoot.
