Our Verdict
Samsung Odyssey G3 F27G35T
MSI Optix G27C6
The Samsung Odyssey G3 F27G35T and the MSI Optix G27C6 are both good budget-friendly gaming monitors. They each have a VA panel with a 1080p resolution, but the MSI has a higher 165Hz refresh rate than the 144Hz on the Samsung. They're very similar in performance; they have native FreeSync support, G-SYNC compatibility, and low input lag, but their response times are slow. The Samsung is a bit more versatile for other uses because it has much better ergonomics, but the MSI gets brighter if you want to use it in a well-lit room.
