Our Verdict
LG 32GN600-B
Samsung Odyssey G55C S27CG55
The LG 32GN600-B and the Samsung Odyssey G5/G55C S27CG55 are entry-level 1440p gaming monitors with many similarities. Choosing one over the other really comes down to size as the LG has a bigger screen, but because of the smaller screen of the Samsung, it has higher pixel density for sharper text clarity.
